Predicting Quadruple Semitendinosus Graft Size for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction by Patient Anthropometric Variables: A Cohort Study of 280 Cases.

Introduction: Pre-operative identification of patients with inadequate hamstring graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is still a subject of interest. The purpose of this study is to correlate dimension of a harvested dimensions graft with patient physical anthropometric variables.

Materials And Methods: This cohort study included 280 patients (male = 226, female = 54) scheduled for primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Tourniquet Use in Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction: A Blinded Randomized Trial.

Introduction: Despite knowing, that tourniquet induces ischemia and soft tissue damage surgeons still use it. The purpose of this study is to compare post operative pain and quadriceps function in patients undergoing arthroscopy assisted ACL reconstruction with tourniquet and without tourniquet.

Methods: A blinded randomized prospective trial conducted at Orthopaedic department of a tertiary institute in India from Feb 2019 to June 2019.

Paratricipital two window approach for complex intraarticular distal humerus fractures: A prospective analysis of 27 patients.

Background: To investigate the utility and complications of paratricipital 2 window approach for complex intra articular distal humerus fractures (AO/OTA type C).

Methods: Between December 2012 and September 2016 , 27 patients (male-14, female-13) having mean age of 39 years (range, 22-62 years) with closed intra articular fracture (AO/OTA 13 type C) were surgically managed using paratricipital 2 window approach. Fractures were fixed as per AO principles.

Olecranon Osteotomy Approach for Complex AO-13C Fractures of Distal Humerus: A Prospective Analysis of 24 Cases.

Olecranon osteotomy is well described approach for complex intra-articular distal humeral fractures. In this study, we investigated the usefulness and complications of olecranon osteotomy approach for such fractures. We hypothesise that outcome is comparable in young adults and middle age group and also functional outcome is independent of fracture subtype following surgical fixation.

Outcome following olecranon osteotomy versus paratricipital approach for complex intra-articular (AO 13-C) fracture of distal humerus: a prospective comparative study.

Background: The paratricipital approach is a relatively new approach in a complex intra-articular fracture of distal humerus (AO13-C). The aim of this study was to ascertain this approach compared with the olecranon osteotomy approach. Also, we aimed to investigate whether advancing age and surgical delay yield a poor outcome.
