Central Fracture-Dislocation of the Hip with Ipsilateral Femoral Neck Fracture in an Elderly Patient with Parkinsonism Managed with Dual Mobility Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: The combination of a central fracture-dislocation of the hip, acetabulum fracture, and neck of the femur fracture is a rare injury, with a few reports described in the literature. Guidelines regarding managing this type of injury in single or multiple stages, the requirement of acetabular augmentation with plates, metal rings or cages, and the implant selection in elderly patients are not adequately defined while planning a total hip arthroplasty (THA). The successful management of such a complex fracture pattern in an elderly patient with neurodegenerative disorder is described in our case report.

Total Hip Arthroplasty in 52 Active Advanced Tubercular Arthritic Hips.

Background: The role of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in healed tuberculosis (TB) of the hip has been reported with success in the past. However, the role and success of THA in active TB of the hip has remained controversial.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a prospective study of 52 THAs done for active TB of the hip in 51 patients.

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis Presenting as a Popliteal Cyst.

Introduction: Pigmented villonodular synovitis is an uncommon disease characterized by hyperplastic synovium, large effusions and bone erosions. It commonly mimics other conditions. As a result, the diagnosis may remain elusive, as the classic signs of tenderness and effusion are not specific.

High sensitive C-reactive protein-Effective tool in determining postoperative recovery in lumbar disc disease.

Background: It is common in medical practice to see patients having persistent pain and radiculopathy even after undergoing discectomy surgery. Inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukins are produced at the site of disc herniation and are now considered responsible for the pain perceived by the patient. This study has used high sensitive C-reactive protein (HSCRP) assay for predicting inflammation around the nerve roots on very same principle, which has used HSCRP for predicting coronary artery diseases in current clinical practice.

Total hip arthroplasty for failed aseptic Austin Moore prosthesis.

Background: Though Austin Moore (AM) replacement prosthesis has fairly good short term results for intracapsular femoral neck fractures in the elderly, it still is a compromised option and has a high failure rate in the long run. The objective of the present retrospective study is to analyze the functional outcome, assess survivorship of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) at mid to long term followup, and evaluate intraoperative difficulties faced during conversion of failed aseptic AM prosthesis to cemented THA.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-nine cemented THA surgeries for failed AM prosthesis were performed between 1986 and 2005.

Sprengel's deformity of the shoulder: Current perspectives in management.

Sprengel's deformity or congenital elevation of scapula is a complex deformity of the pectoral girdle, and results in symptomatic cosmetic and functional disability. Several studies have attempted to analyze the three-dimensional aspects of this deformity; optimal methodologies of quantification and surgical correction techniques have been debated since the condition was first described. This article presents a concise review of the exact pathoanatomy, clinical presentation, imaging techniques, and surgical procedures described in the management of this condition.
