Proximal humerus fractures account for 4–5% of all fractures in adults and affect females more than males. With the advent of special locking plates, the treatment trend has shifted more towards a surgical approach. These methods have produced good results but very high complications rates have been reported in the literature. This study was undert...

Introduction: Transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) is a poorly recognized self-limiting clinical entity. Due to a lack of awareness among the clinicians, the condition is often misdiagnosed leading to inappropriate treatment, thereby lengthening the time to diagnosis (TTD). In this study, we analyze the delay in TTD of TOH using plain radiograph...

Introduction: Coronoid fractures in complex elbow dislocations and terrible triad injuries are usually tip avulsions. Only suture fixation of tip fragments may be possible. Case Report: We have described a simple and cost-effective technique for suture fixation of the coronoid fracture using an 18 G needle as a suture passer. Conclusion: This novel...

Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative condition producing symptoms of varying severity depending on the extent and progression of the disease pathology most importantly respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary complications. Myasthenia gravis (MG) on the other hand is an autoimmune condition due to the pathology inv...

Introduction: Geriatric hip fractures are the new global pandemic. It is predicted to reach 7.3-21.3 million cases worldwide by 2050. Even with optimal care, geriatric patients suffer a higher morbidity and mortality rate when compared with the general population and often demand expensive hospital aftercare. This study aims to assess the implicati...

p>Coxa saltans commonly known as snapping hip is a nagging illness which can physically and mentally hinder patients life. A snapping hip (coxa saltans) secondary to a tight iliotibial band rarely needs surgical release since most cases respond well to conservative management. The purpose of this study is to present the surgical results of refracto...

Introduction: Isolated displaced fourth and fifth metacarpal base fracture without a carpometacarpal joint subluxation or carpal bone fracture by a punch injury is extremely rare. The site of the fracture in the metacarpal is determined by the type and direction of punch. These fractures usually occur as a result of misdirected blow or wrong punch...

Introduction: Patient presented with persistent shoulder pain 8 months following an injury which was diagnosed to be an old non-united missed acromion fracture. The difficulties in diagnosing such fracture, the functional and radiological outcome of surgical fixation of this type of missed acromion fracture with 6-month follow-up has been discusse...

Purpose Pelvic tilt (PT) affects acetabular orientation which in turn influences the outcome after total hip arthroplasty. Calculating sagittal PT using parameter measured on frontal supine pelvic radiograph can increase ease of its recognition, quantification, and potentially predict change. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study of 80...

Background The management of comminuted olecranon fractures has plenty of room for improvement. There remains controversy for the ideal treatment modality, with tension band wiring (TBW) and locked plate fixation (LPF) being the most commonly utilised options. However, TBW and LPF have their own benefits and drawbacks. We explore a novel treatment...

p>T type intercondylar fractures of the distal hummers in the pediatric age group is an extremely rare injury. These fractures are difficult to diagnosed as they can be mistaken for extension type injuries. The few clinal trials on the management of the fracture, it is widely regarded that the accepted method of treatment is open reduction and rigi...

Background Transverse acetabular ligament (TAL) is a 3-dimensional structure which cannot be defined by a single plane. Therefore, we aimed at describing the orientation of different parts of TAL with respect to anterior pelvic plane (APP) and correlate it with gender, body mass index (BMI), and Lewinnek’s safe zone. Methods A total of 109 consecu...

Background: The objective of the current study was to determine the incidence, clinical and pathologic characteristics, and outcome of patients with conventional osteosarcoma who developed metachronous tumours and treated by limb salvage surgery with Custom Mega Prosthesis. Methods: Among 1198 osteosarcoma patients who were treated with limb salvag...

We analysed 11 patients with malignant musculoskeletal tumours of the humerus who underwent limb salvage surgery with total humeral custom endoprosthesis from 1990 to 2009. There were six male and five female patients, with a mean age of 17 years. The most common diagnosis was osteosarcoma. The average follow-up period was 66 months, with the maxim...

Despite advances in adjuvant therapy, Ewing's sarcoma of the pelvis remains an anatomic site with a poor prognosis due to its relative inaccessibility, complex anatomy, and limited reconstructive options available. This study evaluates the role of surgery in the management of patients with pelvic Ewing's sarcoma who also have received conventional...

We analysed the results of 24 cases of aggressive benign and malignant tumours of the distal radius treated by resection and prosthetic replacement between 1995 and 2006. Patient ages ranged from 18 to 74 years, averaging 33 years; 18 were males. Recurrent giant cell tumour was the most common tumour. The prosthesis used was a bipolar hinge custom...

Between April 1996 and May 2002, 22 people (18 men, 4 women) were treated for neglected fractures of the patella at our hospital. The median patient age was 43 (range 22-55) years. The majority of the fractures were caused by a direct fall on the knee. In all they comprised 18 transverse, 2 comminuted and 2 lower pole fractures, most of which had b...

Juxtaarticular giant cell tumors around the knee are common and pose a special problem of reconstruction after tumor excision. This article analyzes the functional outcome after resection of juxtaarticular giant cell tumors around the knee and replacement by custom mega prosthetic arthroplasty. One hundred and forty-three patients with juxtaarticul...
