Anterior Screw Fixation for Odontoid Fractures - A Case Series.

Introduction: Fractures of the odontoid process are common cervical spine injuries, accounting for 10-20% of all cervical spine fractures. Anterior screw fixation of odontoid fractures is an osteosynthetic technique that can give immediate stability and preserve normal mobility.

Case Series: The study was conducted in Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical college in the period 2017-2020.

Total elbow arthroplasty for active primary tuberculosis of the elbow: a curious case of misdiagnosis.

The incidence of musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB) is on the rise due to the current Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) pandemic. Spine is the most common osseous site, followed by other joints. TB identified in the elbow accounts for 2%-5% of skeletal TB cases, which are secondary to pulmonary TB.

Anatomic reconstruction for acromioclavicular joint injuries: a pilot study of a cost-effective new technique.

Background: The treatment for acromioclavicular joint injuries (ACJI) ranges from a conservative approach to extensive surgical reconstruction, and the decision on how to manage these injuries depends on the grade of acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation, resources, and skill availability. After a thorough review of the literature, the researchers adopted a simple cost-effective technique of AC joint reconstruction for acute ACJI requiring surgery.

Methods: This was a prospective single-center study conducted between April 2017 and April 2018.
