Concomitant ipsilateral acetabular and femoral fractures - an appraisal of outcomes and complications in 34 patients.

Concomitant ipsilateral femoral and acetabular fractures are complex injuries which result from high-velocity trauma. Surgical treatment is the accepted management of such injuries. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the outcomes and study the complications in patients treated for concomitant ipsilateral acetabular and femoral fractures (type 'B' floating hip injuries).

Clinical experience with arthroscopic suture pull technique in isolated PCL avulsion injuries.

Objective: to assess twenty two cases of isolated PCL avulsion fractures from tibial insertion, arthroscopically treated with suture pull technique, and to evaluate achieved clinical outcomes in terms of radiographic laxometry (objective) and Lysholm scale (subjective).

Material And Method: Study includes 22 cases operated between April 2014 and March 2017. Patients less than 18 years old, presentation after 3 weeks of injury, concomitant injury in the same limb, with open wounds or with comminuted avulsed fragment were excluded from the study.

Evaluation of functional outcome of pilon fractures managed with limited internal fixation and external fixation: A prospective clinical study.

Introduction: The management of pilon fractures is controversial primarily due to the high rate of complications irrespective of the mode of treatment. Limited internal fixation with external fixation is associated with minimal soft tissue handling. This may reduce the chances of wound dehiscence and infection.

Cortical blindness along with motor aphasia: An unusual presentation of fat embolism syndrome.

Fat embolism syndrome presented with the classical triad of respiratory manifestations (95%), cerebral effects (60%) and Petechial rash (33%). Focal neurological symptoms in the form of combined bilateral cortical blindness and motor aphasia even prior to respiratory symptoms have been never reported in previous literature. We describe a case of these rare focal neurological symptoms secondary to the fat embolism syndrome in a young adult male following closed femur fracture.

Role of Joshi's external stabilization system with percutaneous screw fixation in high-energy tibial condylar fractures associated with severe soft tissue injuries.

Purpose: The treatment of high-energy tibial condylar fractures which are associated with severe soft tissue injuries remains contentious and challenging. In this study, we assessed the results of Joshi's external stabilization system (JESS) by using the principle of ligamentotaxis and percutaneous screw fixation for managing high-energy tibial condylar fractures associated with severe soft tissue injuries.

Methods: Between June 2008 and June 2010, 25 consecutive patients who were 17e71 years (mean, 39.

Biological fixation of comminuted subtrochanteric fractures with proximal femur locking compression plate.

Introduction: Subtrochanteric fractures are difficult fractures associated with high incidence of complications and various implants, both intramedullary and extramedullary, are available for their fixation. Traditional extramedullary implants are associated with higher rate of implant failure and varus collapse while the biomechanically better intramedullary nails are technically demanding and are associated with higher re-operation rates. This study was done to evaluate the outcome following biological (indirect) fixation of unstable comminuted subtrochanteric fractures with proximal femur-locking compression plate (PF-LCP).
