Evaluation of outcome of proximal femur locking compression plate (PFLCP) in unstable proximal femur fractures.

Introduction: Pertrochanteric fractures are most frequent factures of the proximal femur, accounts for nearly 50% of all proximal femur fractures and are most devastating and also a major cause of disability in elderly. The aim and objective of this study was to evaluate the role of proximal femoral locking compression plate in unstable proximal femur fractures.

Material And Method: A total of 20 cases were included in our study (M:F - 16:4), who suffered proximal femur fracture due to various modalities and all of them were operated using proximal femoral locking compression plate.

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Proximal Femur and Its Management - A Case Report.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, expansile, non-neoplastic lesion of the bone, characterized by channels of blood and spaces that are separated by fibrous septae. Giant ABC is an uncommon condition and can be difficult to handle because of the destructive effect of the cyst on the bones and the compressive effect on the nearby structures, especially in weight-bearing bones of the body. We report a case of a giant aneurysmal bone cyst in the proximal femur of a six-year-old child, which was treated with a sclerosing agent and ender's nail fixation first.

A short series of congenital pseudoarthrosis tibia.

Background: We have done retrospective study of 12 cases. Congenital pseudoarthrosis tibia is one of the most challenging subject as far as treatment is concerned. In all the treatments the basic biological considerations are the same that is pseudoarthrosis resection and bone grafting of the defect by stable fixation and correction of angular deformity without leg length discrepancy.

Buerger's Disease (Thromboangiitis Obliterans)- Management by Ilizarov's Technique of Horizontal Distraction. A Retrospective Study of 60 Cases.

In Buerger's disease conservative treatment is questionable. Arterial reconstructive surgery is not feasible and sympathectomy has limited role. Progression of the disease invariably leads to amputation.
