Hip Abductor Muscle Strength Recovery: A Comparison Between Joint Replacement Surgery and Internal Fixation Surgery.

Introduction Proximal femoral fractures are common fractures of the hip that are considered a major healthcare concern globally; these include subtrochanteric, intertrochanteric, and the neck of the femur fractures. Internal fixation surgery and joint replacement surgery are the two most common intervention techniques used to treat these fractures. Consequently, weakness in the hip abductor muscle post-surgery may lead to implant loosening, necessitating revision of the surgery.

Development and Validation of the Cognitive Behavior Questionnaire in Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain (CBQ-NSCLBP).

Background It's common to experience chronic low back pain (CLBP), having serious psychological as well as physical implications. The experience of CLBP and its management depends greatly on cognitive and behavioral aspects. However, there is a requirement for a valid and reliable instrument that assesses the characteristics associated with this condition.

Approaches for Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.

These surgical procedures have their own challenges, limitations, and success rate. The choice of surgical approach will depend on many factors including the surgeon's choice, type of pathology, bone stock, age of the patient, and experience of the surgeon. Whichever approach is used for total hip arthroplasty (THA), the primary goals of the surgery would be pain relief and enhancement in the quality of the patient's life suffering from hip pathologies.

Evaluation of outcome of proximal femur locking compression plate (PFLCP) in unstable proximal femur fractures.

Introduction: Pertrochanteric fractures are most frequent factures of the proximal femur, accounts for nearly 50% of all proximal femur fractures and are most devastating and also a major cause of disability in elderly. The aim and objective of this study was to evaluate the role of proximal femoral locking compression plate in unstable proximal femur fractures.

Material And Method: A total of 20 cases were included in our study (M:F - 16:4), who suffered proximal femur fracture due to various modalities and all of them were operated using proximal femoral locking compression plate.

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Proximal Femur and Its Management - A Case Report.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, expansile, non-neoplastic lesion of the bone, characterized by channels of blood and spaces that are separated by fibrous septae. Giant ABC is an uncommon condition and can be difficult to handle because of the destructive effect of the cyst on the bones and the compressive effect on the nearby structures, especially in weight-bearing bones of the body. We report a case of a giant aneurysmal bone cyst in the proximal femur of a six-year-old child, which was treated with a sclerosing agent and ender's nail fixation first.

Post-traumatic Arthritis of the Tarsometatarsal Joint Complex: A Case Report.

Tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthritis is characterized by instability and pain in the foot. The commonest cause is post-traumatic arthritis. A Lisfranc injury involves the articulation between the medial cuneiform and the base of the second metatarsal, which is considered a keystone to midfoot integrity.

A Case of Koch's Spine Treated with Modified Transpedicular Vertebral Curettage and Posterior Fixation: A Novel Technique.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by acid-fast mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli. Spinal involvement occurs in less than one percent of TB. Spinal TB (Pott's disease) accounts for 50% of skeletal TB.

Prevalence of deep vein thrombosis in patients with lower limb trauma.

Introduction: Venous thrombo-embolism (VTE), which consists of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, is a potentially fatal condition. According to Western literature, DVT of lower limb veins is one of the most common complications following surgeries for lower limb. Few studies have been published from India on the subject and little is known about the true prevalence of the DVT and hence there are no clear guidelines regarding the prophylaxis for DVT for Indian patients.

First Carpo-metacarpal Joint Arthritis: Interpositional Arthroplasty using Trapezium.

Thumb pain secondary to arthritis at the basal joint of the thumb is a common condition, especially in women, and can be quite disabling. An accurate diagnosis can be readily made from the history and examination. Reconstructive procedures for each stage of the disease are aimed at relieving pain and restoring thumb motion and strength.

Giant Cell Tumour of Proximal Phalanx of Ring Finger: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone arising from a phalanx of a finger is extremely rare. Only two percent of all reported GCTs are found in the hand, which show a higher rate of recurrence as compared to those occurring at a more proximal location. Here we report a rare case of giant cell tumour of proximal phalanx of the ring finger in a 20-year-old male, which was treated with extended curettage and bone grafting.

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Knee Joint: A Case Report.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, but potentially locally aggressive and recurrent condition characterized by synovial proliferation and hemosiderin deposition inside the joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. It usually affects the large joints such as hip, knee, and ankle. We report a case of PVNS of the knee joint in a young female which was treated by subtotal synovectomy alone without the use of adjuvants.

Chondromyxoid Fibroma: A Rare Case Report and Review of Literature.

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is one of the rarest benign tumors of cartilaginous origin. It accounts for less than 0.5% of bone tumors and less than two percent of benign bone tumors.

A Case of Distal Femur Medial Condyle Hoffa Type II(C) Fracture Treated with Headless Screws.

Coronal plane fractures of the distal femur are less frequent compared to sagittal plane fractures. They were described by Hoffa in 1904 and are known as Hoffa fractures (AO type B3). They are isolated fractures of the femoral condyle and rare in occurrence.

Reconstruction of the Odontoid Process by a Tricortical Iliac Crest Graft in a Case of Tuberculosis of C1, C2, and C3 Vertebrae.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an emerging disease which affects about one-third of the world's population, especially in developing countries. TB of the spine is the most common type of skeletal TB. Cervical spine TB is rare, constituting 2-3% of all cases of spinal TB.

Acute Bilateral Traumatic Achilles Tendon Rupture - A Rare Presentation.

The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the body, which is commonly ruptured in male athletes. Bilateral rupture of the Achilles tendon is a rare condition with very few reported cases in the literature. It poses a challenge in management, and hence, we report a case with traumatic bilateral Achilles tendon rupture in a young male patient and its management.

A Rare Giant Cell Tumor of the Distal Fibula and its Management.

Giant Cell Tumour (GCT) of the distal fibula is extremely rare and poses challenges in the surgical management. Wide excision or intralesional curettage, along with adjuvant chemical cauterisation can prevent the recurrence of GCT. The excised bone gap needs reconstruction using tricortical iliac autograft and supportive plate fixation.

Analysis of outcome of avascular necrosis of femoral head treated by core decompression and bone grafting.

Background: Femoral head is the most common bone affected by avascular necrosis. Core decompression procedure, when done in the initial stages, before collapse, may arrest or reverse the progress of avascular necrosis and thereby may preserve the normal femoral head. Hence, we have analysed the clinical, functional and radiological outcome of core decompression and bone grafting in patients with Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) upto stage IIB (Ficat & Arlet).
