Indian Hand Anthropometry: First Web Space Angle Measurement in A Population of 800 Subjects.

 The first web space of the hand plays a crucial role in determining the hand's span. Our study aims to examine and quantify the first web space angle in both hands of adult individuals within the Indian population with no upper limb pathologies. The primary objective of this study is to establish normative data.

Gait variability and biomechanical distinctions in knee osteoarthritis: Insights from a 3D analysis in an adult elderly cohort.

Background: This study employs 3D gait analysis to investigate normal gait patterns in individuals afflicted with knee Osteoarthritis (OA). Focusing on the adult osteoarthritic population, the research aims to establish reference values for joint angles, temporospatial parameters, Gait Profile Score (GPS), and Movement Analysis Profile (MAP) collected concurrently along a standardized walking path. Furthermore, the study delves into potential variations linked to gender and OA severity, comparing gait parameters between male and female participants and among individuals with grade 3 and grade 4 OA.

Effect of total knee arthroplasty on contralateral knee: A prospective comparative gait analysis of non-operated legs in the Indian population.

Introduction: Biomechanics plays a crucial function in osteoarthritis. Changes in the biomechanical parameters of the contralateral knee following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may result in pain in the contralateral knee. The objective of this study was to examine preoperative and postoperative gait measurements on the contralateral leg following a TKA for a variety of gait measures at a self-selected normal gait pace in a similar speed population.

Tuberculosis of hand and wrist: Varied clinical presentation and functional outcome by surgical intervention in 13 cases.

A prospective study of 13 cases with tuberculosis of hand and wrist was presented with mean age of patients being 42.7 years (range 18 months to 84 years). Pain, swelling and difficulty in movement of adjacent joints were the most common presenting complaints.

Telehealth for consultation and shoulder rehabilitation: a preliminary study on the perspectives of 30 patients during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Background: This study aimed to determine: the perspectives of the patient cohort that underwent telehealth consultation and shoulder rehabilitation during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the differences in the patients' perspectives with the two different telehealth video applications (apps) used in the study.

Methods: This is a prospective study carried out during the COVID lockdown period of April to July 2020. Thirty consecutive patients from the orthopedics department of a tertiary institute in India underwent their first-ever session of a video app-based (Zoom or WhatsApp) telehealth consultation with shoulder rehabilitation exercises on a handheld mobile, tablet, or laptop device.

Revisiting the rotator cuff footprint.

Unlabelled: Newer studies challenged the traditionally held belief that the supraspinatus inserts on the entire superior facet and the infraspinatus is attached on the entire middle facet of the greater tuberosity. They showed that the infraspinatus tendon is thicker anteriorly and can be differentiated from the posterior part of the supraspinatus. Hence, the newer studies showed that the supraspinatus attached in a much smaller area than previously thought, and infraspinatus occupied the lateral part of the superior facet of the greater tuberosity.

Instability, complications, and functional outcomes after reverse shoulder arthroplasty and anatomic shoulder arthroplasty for chronic neglected shoulder dislocation: a systematic review.

Background: Chronic shoulder dislocation has been treated by either anatomic shoulder arthroplasty (ASA) or reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with encouraging results. Although good results have been reported after both the procedures, several complications such as instability and glenoid failures have also been highlighted. The aim of this study was to aggregate the results that have been reported with the use of ASA or RSA in chronic shoulder dislocation and analyze the instability rates, complication rates, and functional outcomes.

Results and complications of head-preserving techniques in chronic neglected shoulder dislocation: a systematic review.

Background: Humeral head-preserving procedures may be needed for chronic neglected shoulder dislocation because the presenting age of the patient is often reported to be less than 45 years. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the results of the various head-preserving procedures for chronic anterior dislocation (CAD) and chronic posterior dislocation (CPD). This review also aimed to evaluate the results of conservative neglect for CAD.

Avulsion of the fibular head post-total knee replacement.

We report a case of an avulsion of part of the fibular head during a primary total knee replacement for osteoarthritis. Post-operatively the patient developed a foot-drop. However, there was no clinically demonstrable instability of the knee.
