Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in a Case of Multiple Osteochondromatosis: A Case Report.

Introduction: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor and usually occurs in the metaphyseal region of the long bones. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the most common ligament injury of the knee joint, and reconstruction of the ACL is the most commonly performed procedure in the knee joint nowadays.

Case Presentation: A 26-year-old male with multiple osteochondromas around the knees, shoulders, and ankles presented with a chronic ACL injury.

3D CT scan-based study of glenoid morphology in Indian population: Clinical relevance in design of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: The knowledge of normal anatomy of glenoid in a population has relevance in terms of comparison with other regional and national population. Furthermore, it could enable clinicians to judge whether the available sizes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) prosthesis could provide optimal fit for the glenoid in Indian patients.

Methods: We evaluated consecutive 200 3-dimensional chest CT scans of 50 male and 50 female patients which included both shoulder joints and done for non-orthopaedic diseases at a tertiary care institute.

Minimally Invasive Treatment of a Complex Tibial Plateau Fracture with Diaphyseal Extension in a Patient with Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Fractures of the proximal tibia comprise a huge spectrum of injuries with different fracture configurations. The combination of tibia plateau fracture with diaphyseal extension is a rare injury with sparse literature being available on treatment of the same. Various treatment modalities can be adopted with the aim of achieving a well-aligned, congruous, stable joint, which allows early motion and function.

Do autologous blood transfusion systems reduce allogeneic blood transfusion in total knee arthroplasty?

Purpose: To study whether autologus blood transfusion systems reduce the requirement of allogneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Methods: A comprehensive search of the published literature with PubMed, Scopus and Science direct database was performed. The following search terms were used: (total knee replacement) OR (total knee arthroplasty) OR (TKA) AND (blood transfusion) OR (autologous transfusion) OR (autologous transfusion system).

Magnetic resonance appearance of bioabsorbable anchor screws for double row arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs.

Background: Little is known about the bioabsorbable, anchor related postoperative changes in rotator cuff surgery, which has become more popular recently. The purpose of the present study was to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to analyze the degradation of bioabsorbable anchors and to determine the incidences and characteristics of early postoperative reactions around the anchors and their mechanical failures.

Materials And Methods: Postoperative MRIs of 200 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were retrospectively analyzed.

Extensive subcutaneous emphysema complicating a percutaneous Mumford procedure.

Subcutaneous emphysema may be a part of a life-threatening pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax and usually does not occur alone. A case of a 75-year-old lady who underwent a percutaneous Mumford procedure for acromioclavicular osteoarthrosis has been reported. She developed extensive subcutaneous emphysema of the neck, chest, bilateral shoulders, and upper arms, in the absence of pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax, during the procedure.

Acromioclavicular joint dislocations.

Acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation is a common injury especially among sportsmen. There is still a lack of consensus on whether to conserve or operate type III AC joint dislocations. Even among surgeons inclined to operate AC joint dislocations there is no unanimity on which surgical technique.

Fracture dislocation of the proximal humerus with ipsilateral shaft fracture: a report of two cases.

We report two cases of ipsilateral proximal humerus fracture dislocation and shaft fracture in young adults. Fractures were treated with prosthetic replacement for the proximal humerus and open reduction and internal fixation for the shaft fracture due to the extent and complexity of the injury.

Perioperative morbidity and mortality of total hip replacement in liver transplant recipients: a 7-year single-center experience.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate perioperative mortality and morbidity after total hip replacement in liver transplant recipients and suggesting safety guidelines.

Background: Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common elective surgeries even for organ transplant recipients. However, there is a paucity of literature addressing the morbidity and complications of hip replacement surgery for liver transplant recipients.

Locking plate for proximal humeral fracture in the elderly population: serial change of neck shaft angle.

Background: We conducted this radiographic study in the elderly population with proximal humeral fracture aiming to evaluate 1) the serial changes of neck-shaft angle after locking plate fixation and 2) find relationship between change in neck shaft angle and various factors such as age, fracture pattern, severity of osteoporosis, medial support and initial reduction angle.

Methods: Twenty-five patients who underwent surgical treatment for proximal humeral fracture with locking plate between September 2008 and August 2010 are included. True anteroposterior and axillary lateral radiographs were made postoperatively and at each follow-up visit.

Penetration depth and size of the nonarthritic glenoid: implications for glenoid replacement.

Shoulder arthroplasty is technically demanding and relies heavily on precise surgical technique and preoperative planning. Proper glenoid component sizing plays a crucial role for successful shoulder arthroplasty. In this study, we measured the glenoid size together with penetration depth using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT).
