Objective: To observe the level of bone mineral density by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Methods: The observational study was conducted at Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro, Pakistan, from January 2011 to December 2014. Bone mineral density was measured from the femoral neck, ward's triangle and lumbar spine, in patients 25-55 years of age, who were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Objective: To compare the outcome of the open proximal and distal fractures of tibia treated by Nasser Awais External Fixtator with T-clamp.
Methods: The descriptive case series was conducted from August 2009 to July 2012 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, Jamshoro, and comprised in-patients of open proximal and distal fractures of tibia who were divided into two equal groups: group A had distal and group B had proximal patients. All patients had extra-articular open fractures Gustilo I, II, IIIA and IIIB of proximal and distal end of tibia between 15 and 60 years of age who had arrived within 8 hours of the injury.
Background And Objective: An early detection of osteoporosis through DEXA procedure will not only improve the disease management practices but also would help in impeding national productivity losses by mass screening and awareness. Our objective was to measure efficacy of DEXA procedure in early detection of osteoporosis and prevention of its complications.
Methods: This case series observational study was designed to confirm the bone mineral density by dual energy x-ray absorptiometery (DEXA).
Background: Resistant clubfoot deformities of the foot and ankle remain a difficult problem even for the most experienced surgeon. We report a series of neglected resistant clubfoot deformities treated by limited surgery and Ilizarov distraction histogenesis.
Materials And Methods: Twenty one patients with 27 feet having resistant clubfoot deformities were managed by Ilizarov distraction histogenesis from April 2005 to May 2008.
