Modular component exchange has no advantage in Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention (DAIR) for early onset hip and knee prosthetic joint infection.

Introduction: Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention (DAIR) has been the mainstay of treatment for early onset periprosthetic joint infection in spite of variable results. Modular component exchange is a widely recommended strategy to improve success rates with DAIR though very strong evidence to support its practice is still lacking.

Materials And Methods: Eighty six patients underwent DAIR for early onset PJI following primary hip and knee arthroplasty were divided into two groups for this retrospective review.

Lumbar Spine Injury in Indian Fast Bowlers: 3D Biomechanical Analysis and Prevention Strategies.

Background: Lumbar spine injuries are among the most common overuse injuries in a fast bowler. Among various causative factors, bowling action technique is a crucial one. Three-dimensional motion analysis has been accepted as a gold standard tool to identify incorrect techniques.

Preoperative Templating of Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Graft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Morphometry-Based Graft Harvest Method.

Background: Knowledge of anatomy and morphometry of the patella and patellar tendon is crucial for the selection of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Graft tunnel mismatch in BTB graft especially in patients with patella alta or baja can result in compromised fixation for the bone-to-bone healing. This complication can be avoided by proper templating of graft using parameters measured from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Bipartite Patella in an Elite Football Player - A Rare Cause of Anterior Knee Pain.

Introduction: Bipartite patella is usually an asymptomatic anatomical variant estimated to have a prevalence of 0.2-6% in an adult population.

Case Report: A 28-year-old league-level football player presented with the left anterior knee pain of 6 months duration.

Lipoma Arborescens: can we afford to miss it?

Introduction: Lipoma Arborescens is an extremely rare, benign lesion effecting the synovial tissue of joints. It is characterized by villous lipomatous proliferation of the synovial tissue. The aim of our study was to evaluate its diagnostic features and analyse the functional outcome of arthroscopic management.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection in Sports Injuries.

Background: Sports injuries are very common, and the management demands high degrees of skills and best techniques for an early return to play. The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections in the treatment of tendon, muscle and ligament injuries has become popular. This study observes the outcomes of PRP injections in sports injuries.

Management Guidelines for Infection After ACL Reconstruction: Expert Opinion Statement Based on the Modified Delphi Survey of Indian Arthroscopy Surgeons.

Aim: Infection after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, though rare, is a potentially devastating complication and the evidence-based recommendation on the various topics in its management is limited. The purpose of this study was to develop recommendations for the prevention and management of infections in ACL reconstruction surgery by performing a structured expert consensus survey using Delphi methodology.

Materials And Methods: 22 topics of relevance in the prevention and management of infection following ACL reconstruction were chosen from an extensive literature review.

Knee flexion strength deficits correlate with distal extent of tendon regeneration after hamstring harvest. Preliminary data from an Ultrasound based classification.

Background: As more evidence comes to light that hamstring harvesting may not be as benign a procedure as previously thought, considerable interest is being generated towards corelating the knee flexural strength deficits with the degree of tendon regeneration. The current study aimed to corelate knee flexion strength deficits with ultrasonographically quantified degree of hamstring regeneration after tendon harvest.

Study Design: 31 patients of ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts were divided into 2 groups (6 months and 1-year post op) according to time of follow up.

Anterior knee pain in ACL reconstruction with BPTB graft - Is it a myth? Comparative outcome analysis with hamstring graft in 1,250 patients.

Unlabelled: Anterior Knee Pain(AKP) has been quoted as the main disadvantage of Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB)graft in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). We overcome the problem by harvesting BPTB graft by mini-open mobile window technique.

Objectives: To investigate postoperative incidence of AKP with BPTB graft in comparison with hamstring graft during primary ACLR.

Rowing Injuries in Elite Athletes: A Review of Incidence with Risk Factors and the Role of Biomechanics in Its Management.

Background: Rowing is an Olympic sport gaining popularity in India and injuries are common in these athletes. Determinants of performance, injury risk and training are all interrelated in rowing. Injuries result from various risk factors including fitness issues and improper techniques.
