Interest in curves: when the radius of curvature matters in femur fractures. A CT based morphometric study.

Purpose: In today's era, fractures of the femur are primarily managed with intramedullary devices. Keeping in mind the anatomical sagittal bow of the femur, intramedullary devices have been devised with an anterior bow, but this varies amongst various manufacturers - leading to complications such as anterior cortex impingement beyond the isthmus and posterior cortical opening at the fracture site. We intend to find the average radius of curvature (ROC) of the anatomical bow of the femur and the variation of the same.

Femoral Shaft Fracture in Post-polio Syndrome Patients: Case Series from a Level-I Trauma Center and Review of Literature.

Background: Femoral shaft fracture in patients of post-polio syndrome (PPS) represents an uncommon yet complex injury pattern. Poorly developed soft-tissue envelope, decreased muscle bulk, reduced vascularity, regional osteopenia, joint contractures, and altered bony anatomy impose significant surgical challenges. Thorough pre-operative planning is imperative as each case requires individualized approach and method of fixation.

'Extended tibia osteotomy': a technical tip for removal of incarcerated reamer with broken guide wire bead during tibia nailing and literature review.

Intramedullary nailing has become a standard of care for tibia fractures. Reaming is an essential part of this technique due to its multiple advantages like a better fit and earlier union. In young bone, with a narrow cortical canal, incarceration and breakage of reamer is a possibility.

Histopathological, Ultrastructural, and Immunohistochemical Findings in Radial Longitudinal Deficiency: A Prospective, Observational Study.

Purpose: To report the histopathological, electron microscopic, and immunohistochemical findings of tissue samples obtained from patients with radial longitudinal deficiency (RLD) and investigate the contribution of abnormality in soft tissues as a secondary driver of deformity in RLD.

Methods: Specimens from radial-sided muscles and tendons were obtained at the time of surgery (either radialization or centralization) from 14 patients with 16 limbs affected with Bayne type 3 and type 4 RLD. The specimens were evaluated using light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemical examination.

Amid COVID-19 pandemic-an innovative use of local resources to substitute the need for specialized operation theatre tables for orthopaedic and trauma surgery.

Pelvic-acetabulum and spine surgery are two important constituents of complex trauma surgery and require a gamut of resources for fracture management. In the pandemic crisis of COVID-19 where existing health care resources are scarce and a major section of health care infrastructure has been assigned to fight against it, the compromised and less equipped health care facility is left to tackle the ongoing presentation of complex trauma surgery. One major challenge faced to manage these complex procedures is the availability of specialized radiolucent operation tables as even the apex level health care setups generally have one or two such kinds of table.

Endogenous endophthalmitis due to Roseomonas mucosa presenting as a subretinal abscess.

Background: Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis is an infrequently reported entity. Although Roseomonas mucosa has been reported to cause systemic infections in immunosuppressed individuals, ocular infection due to Roseomonas has been rarely reported in literature previously.

Findings: A 74-year-old diabetic was diagnosed to have Klebsiella urinary tract infection and septicemia following which he developed ocular pain and redness.

Inner retinal layer change in glaucoma patients receiving anti-VEGF for neovascular age related macular degeneration.

Purpose: The purpose was to evaluate the effects of long-term anti-VEGF treatment on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and retinal ganglion cell layer (RGCL) thickness for patients with neovascular AMD and glaucoma.

Methods: Medical records of respective patients who had received more than 15 anti-VEGF injections were reviewed. Initial and latest SD-OCT macular scans were segmented and changes of the RNFL and RGCL thickness at the four outer ETDRS quadrants were evaluated.

High altitude retinopathy.

High altitude retinopathy is a condition often seen among mountain climbers or among persons who reach high altitudes rapidly. In this report, we describe a case of a 57 year old healthy gentleman who presented with diminution of vision in both the eyes associated with retinal hemorrhages and the spontaneous resolution of the same.
