Telemedicine-Rehabilitation and Virtual Reality in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

Introduction: Tele-rehabilitation is a method of delivering rehabilitation services using information, technology and communication to everyone, irrespective of their geographic location. National zeal for competitive sports and COVID pandemic has led to an increase in its demand and popularity worldwide. The athletes need immediate treatment and correct rehabilitation to keep them in their game.

Measurement of Distance Between Femoral Insertion of Fibular Collateral Ligament and Popliteus: A Cadaveric Study in Indian Population.

Background: Injuries to posterolateral corner (PLC) of knee are often neglected. The three key components of PLC are lateral collateral ligament (LCL), popliteofibular ligament (PFL) and popliteus tendon (PT). For adequate reconstruction, anatomic location of these ligaments should be well understood.

Correlation between height and semitendinosus tendon length, prediction of minimum semitendinosus tendon length based on height-an easy and accurate method.

Purpose: To find out an easy method to predict tendon length on the basis of patient height.

Methods: A prospective study which included 256 patients. All patients underwent ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus graft.

Clinico-Radio-Histopathological Correlation by C-Arm Image-Guided Biopsy in Spinal Tuberculosis.

Background/purpose Of The Study: C-arm-guided biopsy is a safe and effective technique for evaluating TB spine and is useful in planning therapy. The purpose of this study was to find a correlation between clinically and radiologically suspected TB spine and C-arm image-guided biopsy-proven cases and to study the complications encountered.

Methods: After evaluating the clinical, laboratory, X-ray and MRI findings, 92 patients with provisionally diagnosed tubercular spine were subjected to C-arm image-guided biopsy.

Innovative Use of Posterior Vertebral Wall Impactor in Tibial Plateau Depressed Fractures.

Depressed articular fractures of tibial plateau are treated by elevation of the fracture fragments to maintain the articular congruity and filling the void with any bone substitutes, followed by screw or plate fixation. This elevation of the fragments to maintain articular congruity poses a surgical challenge even in experienced hands. Many techniques have been described for the same, as the use of the metallic-bone-tamps, elevators and more recently inflatable-balloon-tamps.

Comparison of semitendinosus tendon length and diameter in sports and non-sports group for ACL reconstruction.

Unlabelled: Different anthropometric parameters such as weight, height, body mass index, thigh circumference, and thigh length have been extensively studied and their correlation assessed with hamstring graft length and diameter. This study is to analyse the difference of semitendinosus graft characteristics with sports activity of the patient.

Methods: 110 patients undergoing any ligament reconstruction with semitendinosus were included, 55 in sports and 55 in non-sports group.

Fracture management during COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected orthopedic practices worldwide. Few studies focusing on epidemiology and management of fractures in COVID-19 patients have been published. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the fracture types, presentation, treatment, complications, and early outcomes of fractures occurring amidst COVID-19 pandemic.

Out Patient Department practices in orthopaedics amidst COVID-19: The evolving model.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COVID-19 was declared as a pandemic on 11 March 2020 by the World Health Organization and consequent lockdown imposed in several areas resulted in a marked reduction in orthopaedic practices. Although some guidelines for patient care in orthopaedic practice have been published, overall, publications focusing exclusively on guidelines on starting orthopaedic outpatient departments (OPD) after the COVID-19 lockdown amidst the on-going pandemic are lacking. We hereby propose the evolving knowledge in changes in OPD management practices for orthopaedic surgeons in the COVID- 19 era.

Post COVID-19: Planning strategies to resume orthopaedic surgery -challenges and considerations.

The Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a substantial effect on the health care systems around the world. As the disease has spread, many developed and developing countries have been stretched on their resources such as personnel as well as adequate equipment. As a result of resource disparity, in a populous country like India, the elective orthopaedic surgeries stand cancelled whilst trauma and emergency services have been reorganised following Indian Orthopaedic Association and recent urgent British Orthopaedic association guidelines.

3D printing and its applications in orthopaedic trauma: A technological marvel.

Background: With rapid emergence of 3D printing technology, surgeons have recently started to apply this for nearly all areas of orthopaedic trauma surgery. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance images of trauma patients can be utilized for making graspable objects from 3D reconstructed images. Patient specific anatomical models can thereby be created.

Osteochondritis dissecans-Does platelet rich plasma really help.

Osteochondritis dissecans is a common disorder of knee and can be treated by various methods, depending on age of patient and stability of chondral fragment. In Osteochondritis dissecans ICRS type III lesion i.e.

Experience of supracondylar cheveron osteotomy for genu valgum in 115 adolescent knees.

Purpose: Medial close wedge Coventry type osteotomy is commonly performed procedure for adoloscent Genu valgum. However this osteotomy has some inherent problems, a wedge resection causes shortening of affected site. An additional plate for stabilization causes increase in soft tissue dissection and surgical time.

Randomised comparison of pretensioning using cyclical loading and on tendon board for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamstring autograft.

Objective: Pretensioning is usually done using two methods - manual cyclical loading and using tensioner with a tendon board. Both the methods are being used with little knowledge about the superiority of either method. This study was done with the objective of trying to find out the better method.

Spontaneous spinal epidural abscess in a normoglycemic diabetic patient - Keep it as a differential.

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare and serious condition which can lead to permanent neurological deficit. Spontaneous SEA is even rarer condition with an incidence of less than 1 per 10,000 person-year. Being spontaneous, it has high chances of being misdiagnosed, more so when the risk factors are not clearly explainable for the condition.

Inserting pedicle screws in lumbar spondylolisthesis - The easy bone conserving way.

Background: Pedicle screw fixation in high grade lumbar listhetic vertebral body has been nightmare for Orthopaedic and spine surgeons. This is because of abnormally positioned listhetic pedicles and non-visualization of pedicle in conventional image intensifier (C-Arm). This results into increased surgical time, more blood loss, radiation exposure and more chances of infection.

Transforaminal epidural Etanercept for the treatment of prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc induced sciatica.

Study Design: Hospital based prospective study.

Objective: To study clinical response of transforaminal epidural Etanercept for lumbar prolapsed intervertebral disc induced sciatica.

Method: Patients presenting to O.

Management of post-traumatic neglected cervical facet dislocation.

Background: Post-traumatic unilateral or bilateral sub-axial cervical spine dislocations with locked facets are quite common. In developing countries like India, many patients with cervical injuries report late due to many reasons like rural backgrounds, lack of infrastructures and skilled surgeons, unawareness, poor socioeconomic status, lack of transportation to the specialized center with proper facility, etc. Early management is essential to maximize better neurological outcome.

Subungual osteochondroma: Nail sparing excision.

Subungual osteochondroma is a relatively uncommon benign bone tumor affecting mostly children and young adults, and is a major source of pain and nail deformity. Treatment consists of marginal excision and meticulous wound closure. In this report, we present three cases of subungual osteochondroma arising from the dorsal aspect of distal phalanx of the great toe, which were managed by marginal excision with preservation of nail apparatus under digital block anesthesia with the use of a ring tourniquet.
