Functional Outcome of Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur Treated With Standard Surgical Modalities.

Introduction: Among the most prevalent injuries among the elderly with trivial trauma are trochanteric fractures. Osteoporosis and female sex are additional risk factors. The patient's age, the fracture, their overall health, the amount of time between the fracture and treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment, any concurrent medical care, and the stability of the fixation all affect how well the patient responds to treatment.

Under Coracoid-through Clavicle Suture Fixation in Type 2 Distal Clavicle Fracture.

Introduction: Surgical management of Neer type 2 distal clavicle fractures may include tension band wiring, pre-contoured plate, hook plate or indirect fixation of coracoclavicular space by Endobutton, suture anchors, or Tightrope devices. We present our technique of suture and Mersilene tape fixation by passing them through the clavicle and under the coracoid which is a form of indirect fixation.

Technique: The fracture and the coracoid are exposed through a horizontal skin incision.

Idiopathic Tumoral Calcinosis with Unusual Presentation-Case Report with Review of Literature.

Introduction: Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon disorder characterised by the deposition of calcium phosphate in periarticular tissues. The deposits are usually around large joints; but rarely can be found around small joints of hand and feet.

Case Report: We present the case of 13 year old female with three years history of spontaneous, progressively increasing, painful swellings along right middle finger and right heel.

Closed antegrade interlocked nailing of femoral shaft fractures operated up to 2 weeks postinjury in the absence of a fracture table or C-arm.

Background: We present our technique of closed nailing in diaphyseal femoral fractures treated between 1 to 14 days postinjury. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the fact that such fractures can be treated closed in the absence of a fracture table or C-arm.

Methods: In all, 200 consecutive closed femoral fractures were fixed 1 to 14 days postinjury during a period of 2 years.
