Functional Outcomes After Discectomy for Recurrent Lumbar Herniation Using the Destandau Endospine System: A Retrospective Study of 44 Patients.

Background Recurrent disc herniation is a major cause of morbidity and surgical failure after disc surgery. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of the Destandau endospine system (DES) for treating recurrent lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methodology A total of 44 patients who underwent minimally invasive Destandau endoscopic lumbar discectomy (DELD) for recurrent LDH were included in this study.

A Rare Case of Melorheostosis Presenting with Extra-osseous Lesions Around the Knee: Case Report.

Introduction: Melorheostosis was initially identified in 1922 by Leri and Joanny. It is often referred to as candle bone disease, melting wax syndrome, or Leri disease. This mesenchymal condition is uncommon, benign, and non-heritable.

Functional and Radiological Outcome in Atypical Subtrochanteric Femur Fracture After Surgical Fixation: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Background: Treatment for osteoporosis can have catastrophic side effects, including the uncommon fracture known as an atypical femur fracture (AFF), which is related to the long-term usage of antiresorptive agents. Bisphosphonate therapy may lead to significant and chronic suppression of bone turnover, impairing the bone's remodelling property and finally leading to incomplete or complete atypical femur fracture. AFF was defined by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Task Force in 2010 and is far less prevalent than proximal femur (hip) fracture, with an incidence of 2 to 78 per 100,000 patients per year following two to eight years of bisphosphonate therapy, respectively.

Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of Lungs, Mimicking Primary Scapular Tumor: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Cancer metastasis to the scapula and tibia is an infrequent clinical presentation. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Around 80-85% of lung cancer are non-small cell lung cancer and around 30-35% of them are adenocarcinoma which metastasize to bone.

Short-Term Functional Outcome and Satisfaction Rate of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty in Indian Population: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a procedure used to treat isolated medial or lateral compartmental osteoarthritis of the knee joint. This procedure involves retention of cruciate ligaments which leads to better functional outcome due to preservation of normal kinematics of the knee joint. In the Indian population, due to requirement of squatting and cross leg sitting habits, knee with more range of movement and with good kinematics is a required feature.

Giant Cell Tumor of Third Metacarpal: A Rare Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Giant cell tumor (GCT) or osteoclastoma is an osteolytic, mostly benign but locally aggressive tumor occurring in young adults at the meta-epiphyseal region of long bones such as lower end of the femur, upper end of the tibia, and lower end of the radius, and proximal humerus in descending order of frequency. Only 2% of all GCT of bone occur in hand. GCT of metacarpal (MC) has different characteristics than that of other long bones.
