Description of new "epsilon sign" and its significance in reduction in highly unstable variant of intertrochanteric fracture.

Background: Intertrochanteric fractures are commonly encountered in day-to-day trauma practice having various fracture patterns. Adequate reduction and appropriate fixation methodology is required for optimum results. However, failure rates are very high in unstable fractures.

Intraspinal Anomalies in Early Onset Scoliosis: Current Concepts.

Early onset scoliosis (EOS) is deformity of the spine below the age of 5 years. Children with EOS are at risk of impaired thoracic cage development and pulmonary maturation. Initial evaluation consists of determining the etiological cause for EOS, i.
