Assessment of radiological and functional outcomes of complex acetabulum fracture managed with combined anterior and posterior approach in a single anaesthetic setting: a retrospective study.

Background: Appropriate selection of surgical approach for associated fractures of the acetabulum that involves both columns is still elusive. Therefore, present study aimed to assess the quality of life of complex acetabulum fracture managed with combined anterior and posterior approach (dual approach) as well as the association of postoperative reduction and patient reported outcomes.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 42 associated acetabular fracture patients with involvement of both columns, who were treated with a dual approach including combined anterior modified ilio-inguinal approach in combination with posterior Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach in a single anaesthetic session having minimum two years follow-up.

Incidence and risk factors associated with surgical site infection in acetabular fracture patients: An experience from north India.

Introduction: Nearly 5-7% of patients undergoing surgical management of acetabular fractures develop surgical site infection (SSI) which is one of the most important factors affecting the hospital stay, success of procedure and overall patient satisfaction. Systematic studies to identify the risk factors and their control could help to reduce the surgical site infection rate considerably. The present study assessed the incidence and risk factors related with SSI in patients undergoing surgical management of acetabular fractures at our center.

Epidemiology of Pediatric Musculoskeletal Trauma Patients Admitted to a Trauma Center in Northern India: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background Pediatric injuries are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide and place a considerable burden on nations with limited resources. A careful investigation of the epidemiology of pediatric musculoskeletal trauma can provide insight into its causation and the demography of the affected children and help us devise preventive strategies to reduce the burden of pediatric musculoskeletal trauma. Methodology Musculoskeletal trauma patients up to the age of 18 years were included in this prospective cohort study.

Epidemiology of Pediatric Musculoskeletal Trauma Patients Admitted to the Trauma Center of King George's Medical University (KGMU) During COVID-19-Induced Lockdown.

Purpose: This retrospective study aims to document the epidemiology of pediatric musculoskeletal trauma patients admitted over a one and half year period to the trauma center of King George's Medical University (KGMU) and the effect of COVID-19-induced lockdown on the timeliness of care.

Methods: We analyzed data of 174 patients for demography, types of injuries, mechanism of injuries, the site where the injury was sustained, the severity of injuries, nature of the injury, and the regions involved by the injuries.

Results: Mean age was 12.

Analysis OF C677T polymorphism in methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene as a risk factor for congenital talipes equino varus (CTEV).

Background: Clubfoot is a common congenital foot deformity. Low folate status in mothers has been associated with CTEV. Folate metabolism might be affected by Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism.

Diagnostic Accuracy and Surgical Utility of MRI in Complicated Diabetic Foot.

Introduction: Diabetic foot complications pose a significant public health hazard and have negative effect on life quality. These complications are associated with increased risk of amputations and premature death. So focus is increasing on early treatment of complicated diabetic foot.
