Kaplan's Lesion in a Child: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: Kaplan's lesion is a rare complex metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation. A 7-year-old female child presented with pain, swelling and inability to move her right index finger. Her mother gave a history of sustaining a fall injury on the same hand around 3 weeks back.

Minimally-Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis for Clavicle Fractures.

 To analyze the radiological, clinical, and functional outcomes of clavicle fractures treated with the minimally-invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique.  From June 2018 to July 2019, 17 cases of clavicular fractures were managed using the MIPO technique under C-arm fluoroscopy. The functional outcomes were assessed using the Constant-Murley score and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.

A nanometric window on fullerene formation in the interstellar medium: Insights from molecular dynamics studies.

Understanding the fundamental mechanisms that underlie the synthesis of fullerene molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM) and in the environments of astrophysical objects is an open question. In this regard, using classical molecular dynamics, we demonstrate the possibility of in situ formation of fullerene molecules, such as C from graphite, which is known to occur in the ISM, in particular, circumstellar environments. Specifically, when graphite is subjected to thermal and mechanical stimuli that are typical of circumstellar shells, we find that the graphite sheet edges undergo significant restructuring and curling, leading to edge-induced interlayer-interactions and formation of mechanically strained five-membered-ring structural units.

Complication of Early Application of One and a Half Hip Spica for Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children below Six Years in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Hip spica with or without prior traction has become a standard treatment for closed isolated femoral shaft fracture in children below six years. The time of hip spica application is not uniform in the existing literature. The aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of complication of early application of one and a half hip spica for femoral shaft fractures in children below six years in a tertiary care hospital.

Operative Treatment of Fixed Flexion Deformity of Elbow by Anterior Release: A Case Report.

A 20-year-old male presented to our OPD with stiffness in his right elbow. He gave a history of sustaining a fracture around the same elbow when he was 4 years old. He was treated operatively for the same.

Orthopaedics Practice in a Rural Hospital During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019  pandemic is one of the biggest public health challenges that we have faced, and has had a significant impact on the delivery of essential healthcare worldwide. Trauma and orthopaedic surgery was one of the most severely affected specialties as all non-emergency surgical cases were cancelled. With the possibility of future peak of corona virus, knowing the impact of Covid on orthopaedics would enable us to manage trauma patient in an effective manner and will help us to resume normal schedule of the trauma care.

Outcome of Neglected Elbow Dislocation Treated with Open Reduction at Rural Tertiary Care Hospital in Nepal.

Background: Chronic unreduced dislocation of elbow is a rare injury. Treatment options include open reduction internal fixation with K wire, replacement arthroplasty, excisional arthroplasty, arthrodesis, and hinged external fixator. The aim of this study is to determine the outcome of open reduction internal fixation with trans-olecranon K wire for neglected elbow dislocation.
