Background: Pain control and patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have room for improvement. While studies have reported better analgesic outcomes with antidepressants like duloxetine in patients who do not have central sensitivity (CS), we undertook this trial to determine the short and midterm analgesic role of low-dose duloxetine in patients who do not have CS.
Methods: This prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 106 patients undergoing single-setting, bilateral TKA under spinal anesthesia.
Introduction: Common peroneal nerve palsy (CPNP) is a rare complication post total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Even though it is diagnosed acutely, the recovery potential is just over 50%. The average period for complete recovery in such cases is 5 months; however, the management remains controversial.

Its management is complicated by the weight-bearing nature of the site and despite an array of available treatment modalities in the literature, there is no fixed consensus.
Case Report: Through this case, we report a 60-year-old female who was evaluated for bilateral knee osteoarthritis.
Introduction: Pathological fractures in pediatric age group are most commonly secondary to bone tumors. Management of such cases in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complicated by the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) in these patients.
Case Report: Through this case, we report a 13-year-old male diagnosed with autism spectrum disease, who was brought by his parents with a history of trivial trauma and gross deformity of the left humerus.
