Latarjet operation carries three times the risk of failure in seizure versus non-seizure recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint: outcome of a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation (RASD) in cases of seizure disorders (SDs) total 50%-80% of all SD-associated shoulder instabilities. Based on the extent of bone loss, treatment options include bony and soft-tissue reconstructions, arthroplasty, and arthrodesis. The primary objective of this paper was to review the treatment options for RASD in SDs.

Evaluation of Acetabular Development Following Open Reduction of Developmental Dysplasia of Hip in Children After Walking Age.

Background And Purpose: The growth and development of the acetabulum in children with developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) depends upon the extent of concentric reduction. Children in walking age often need open reduction with or without additional osteotomies to obtain congruous, stable reduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate acetabular development in late diagnosed DDH treated by open reduction with or without femoral osteotomy.

Intraosseous schwannoma of the humerus: a rarity yet warrants consideration.

Intraosseous schwannoma is extremely rare that it is not often considered among differential diagnosis for an osteolytic lesion, especially in long bones of the extremities. Amounting to less than 0.2% of all primary bone tumours and less than 200 cases reported so far, with only 3 cases involving the humerus, we hereby report the fourth case.

Clinical and Radiological Outcome of Complex Proximal Tibia Fractures Managed with Hybrid/Ilizarov Fixator with or without Minimal Internal Fixation.

Background: Complex high grade proximal tibia fractures with associated extensive soft tissue injury pose a management challenge. The timing of surgery and fracture fixation options depend upon the extent of soft tissue damage. Post-operative complications such as wound breakdown, infection and infected non-union are common in such cases managed early with open reduction and internal fixation.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in a healed Perthes hip.

Perthes disease and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in the same child is a rare occurrence. A 7-year-old boy with the left hip Perthes' disease was managed with femur osteotomy. The femur head healed with a spherical congruent hip.

Comparison of radiological and functional outcome of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures treated using PFN and PFNA-2 in patients with osteoporosis.

Introduction: Presently, unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures are treated commonly with intramedullary nailing devices. Various designs of intramedullary nail are introduced. The conventional Proximal Femoral Nail has given diverse outcome.

Sprengel's deformity correction by vertical scapular osteotomy in a paediatric age group: influence of rib cage abnormalities.

Introduction: Vertical scapular osteotomy (VSO) is a known procedure for Sprengel's shoulder deformity. Its surgical results in the presence of rib cage anomalies largely remain unreported.

Material And Methods: The influence of simple and complex rib anomalies on shoulder abduction, Cavendish grade, and radiological Rigault's score following VSO was studied retrospectively in eight paediatric patients.

Midterm results of trochanteric flip osteotomy technique for management of fractures around the hip.

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate safety and efficacy of the trochanteric flip osteotomy with surgical hip dislocation technique in selected displaced acetabular and femoral head fractures with clinico-radiological outcome and potential complications.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 32 patients from January 2009 to June 2014. Selected displaced acetabular fractures with comminution and/or cranial extension of posterior wall, marginal impaction, intraarticular fragment, femoral head fractures and hip fracture-dislocations were operated by this modified approach of trochanteric flip osteotomy and surgical hip dislocation.
