A novel surgical technique for removal of intramedullary nails when there is a failure of the proximal extraction device: Report of two cases and review of literature.

Diaphyseal fractures of the tibia is a common injury with an incidence of 16.9/100,000 population. Surgical treatment with intramedullary interlocking nail is the treatment of choice in closed diaphyseal tibial injuries.

Assessment of the geometry of proximal femur for short cephalomedullary nail placement: An observational study in dry femora and living subjects.

Background: Intramedullary devices have increasingly become popular and are widely used for fixation of unstable intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. These implants have been designed taking into consideration of the anthropometry of the western population which varies from those of other ethnic groups. This study was carried out to assess the geometry of proximal femur for the placement of short cephalomedullary nails in our subset of patients and suggest suitable design modifications based on these parameters.

Arthroscopic management of popliteal cysts.

Background: Management of popliteal cyst is controversial. Owing to high failure rates in open procedures, recent trend is towards arthroscopic decompression and simultaneous management of intraarticular pathology. We retrospectively analysed clinical results of symptomatic popliteal cysts after arthroscopic management at 24 month followup.

Multiple bilateral lower limb fractures in a 2-year-old child: previously unreported injury with a unique mechanism.

Fall from height is a common cause of unintentional injuries in children and accounts for 6% of all trauma-related childhood deaths, usually from head injury. We report a case of a 2-year-old child with multiple fractures of the bilateral lower limbs due to this reason. A child fell from a height of around 15 feet after toppling from a balcony.
