The use of precontoured plates for midshaft clavicle fractures is not always the best course of treatment.

Plate fixation has become the preferred approach for treating displaced midshaft clavicle fractures. However, plate fixation of the clavicle presents several unique challenges, including its complex bony architecture and its immediate subcutaneous location. In many cases, we have observed that precontoured implants do not conform to the clavicular anatomy, and many patients complain of postoperative implant-related discomfort.

A Cadaveric Study to Define Morphology and Morphometry of Human Knee Menisci in the Region of Central India.

Introduction The medial and lateral menisci of the knee joint are the functional unit that helps to increase the depth of articular surfaces on the head of a tibia for the reception of femoral condyles. Menisci are important for the distribution of load and thus help to reduce stress on the knee joint. The anatomical knowledge of morphology and morphometry of menisci is vital while performing surgeries in cases of meniscal injury.

Morphometry and Intracranial Relations of the Sphenoid Sinus in Context to Endoscopic Transnasal Transsphenoidal Surgery.

Introduction Due to the variable degree of pneumatization, the shape and size of the sphenoid sinus are irregular. An endoscopic intranasal transsphenoidal approach is made in sphenoid sinus pathologies, sphenoid sinusitis, and sellar and parasellar diseases. A diagnostic approach to the sphenoid sinus is also done to get a better MRI scan of the pituitary.

Cadaveric Study to Define the Anatomy of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) and Its Variant Patterns.

Background: The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is one of the major soft tissue stabilizers on the medial side of the knee joint, extending from the medial condyle of the femur to the medial aspect of the patella. Different kinds of literature described different sizes and different origins and insertions of MPFL. Injury of MPFL causes patellar instability and dislocation.

Study of frontal and ethmoid sinus of sinonasal complex along with olfactory fossa: anatomical considerations for endoscopic sinus surgery.

The Functional endoscopic sinus surgery through transnasal approach is a common modality of treatment for disorders of the nasal cavity, paranasal air sinuses as well as cranial cavity. The olfactory fossa (OF) is located along the superior aspect of cribriform plate which varies in shape and depth. This variable measurement of the depth of OF is mostly responsible for greater risk of intracranial infiltration during endoscopic procedures in and around the nasal cavity.

Assessment of the Effect of Smartphone Usage on the Range of Motion and Fatigability of the Joints and Muscles of the Thumb Among Users: A Cross-Sectional Study in Central India.

Introduction The ability of adaptation is unique to humankind. Technology advances have introduced many appliances that increasingly are smaller in size and handheld. These devices on prolonged usage affect the thumb joint complex, and this study was therefore designed to assess any changes in the movement of the thumb joint complex and fatigability secondary to the increasing usage of smartphones in different orientations in the Central Indian population.

A cadaveric morphometric analysis of coracoid process with reference to the Latarjet procedure using the "congruent arc technique".

Introduction: Congruent arc Latarjet procedure involves rotating the coracoid process so that its inferior surface is flush with the glenoid face, owing to their matching radius of curvature (ROC). However, there has been no cadaveric study to actually measure and compare the ROC of coracoid with glenoid, especially in Indian population.

Materials And Methods: 44 shoulders were dissected in 24 cadavers to measure usable length of coracoid process, width, height, ROC of coracoid and glenoid as well as ulnar length (as proxy of cadaver height).

Thoracic Pedicle Morphometry of Dry Vertebral Columns in Relation to Trans-Pedicular Fixation: A Cross-Sectional Study From Central India.

Introduction Trans-pedicular screw fixation is one of the main modalities of spinal instrumentation today. It is particularly challenging in the thoracic spine due to the narrow pedicle dimensions especially in the upper and mid-thoracic levels. We aimed to study the anatomical variations like pedicle dimensions and angulation in transverse and sagittal planes.

Surgical Implications of Innervation Pattern of the Triceps Muscle: A Cadaveric Study.

The innervation pattern of triceps is complex and not fully comprehended. Anomalous innervations of triceps have been described by various authors. We have attempted to delineate the nerve supply of the triceps and documented the anomalous innervations of its different heads.
