Does the femoral neck system provide better outcomes compared to cannulated screws fixation for the management of femoral neck fracture in young adults? A systematic review of literature and meta-analysis.

Background: Management of neck of femur fractures depend upon the age of presentation and it ranges from internal fixation to arthroplasty. In a relatively young population, anatomical reduction with stable internal fixation is the preferred treatment modality; the choice of implants available are multiple cannulated cancellous screws, dynamic hip screws, and the newly devised femoral neck system. The fracture configuration and pattern dictate the ideal implant to be utilized, with the femoral neck system documented to be apt for all the fracture types, while the cannulated screws are deemed better for stable fractures.

Association of Specific Genetic Polymorphisms with Atraumatic Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Narrative Review.

Introduction: Atraumatic ONFH is one of the leading cause of hip morbidity in the working-age group. It is a multi-factorial disease whose root cause can be attributed to single-nucleotide polymorphism. Identifying such polymorphisms could pave the way for new modalities of treatment for ONFH.

Is early intramedullary interlocked nailing an effective treatment option for open grade III femoral shaft fractures: a systematic review of literature and pooled analysis of 176 cases.

Background: Open Grade 3 femoral fractures are high-velocity injuries, often associated with other co-morbid injuries and are highly prone to infections; these fractures are commonly treated by staged procedures to minimize the complications. Early definitive fixation by intramedullary (IM) interlocking nails (ILN) has advantages like early mobility and better outcomes.

Study Question: Are early definitive fixations of grade III shaft femur fractures with debridement & IM ILN effective in union and infection rates?

Materials And Methods: Using relevant keywords, a total of 3357 articles were screened from the PubMed, Scopus and Embase database.

Bilateral crescent fracture-dislocation of the sacroiliac joint: a case-based discussion and review of literature.

Background: Crescent fractures are a subset of lateral compression injuries associated with high energy trauma and are rotationally unstable. These fractures are rare bilaterally, and we present one such rare case of a bilateral crescent fracture.

Case Description: A 56-year-old male presented with run-over injury and was diagnosed with bilateral crescent fracture-dislocation of the Sacroiliac joint.

The effectiveness of arthroscopy assisted fixation of Schatzker types I-III tibial plateau fractures: our experience at a tertiary centre.

Background: Tibial condyle fractures are high energy injuries which require anatomical reduction and stable fixation for early mobilisation of the knee joint. Arthroscopy assisted fixation of these fractures provide additional benefits of minimal dissection, accurate visualisation of the articular surface and faster rehabilitation. The present study describes our experience with this technique.

Prominent Resident's Ridge as a Potential Cause of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Impingement: A Case Report.

Background: The resident's ridge is an arthroscopic landmark that is consistent with the anterior border of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) femoral attachment. The identification of the landmark allows for accurate graft placement.

Case Report: We report a case of a 30-year athletic individual with an ACL-deficient knee, who had an abnormally large resident's ridge, abutting the midsubstance of the torn ACL; the residual femoral attachment was behind the ridge.

Bilateral sub-trochanteric femur fragility fractures in a patient on antiretroviral therapy: a case based discussion and review of literature.

Background: The burden of HIV/AIDS is ever increasing, affecting populations all over the world. Along with the disease, its effects and consequences on bone health are also on a rise. A commonly used drug in managing HIV, "Tenofovir" has been shown to affect bone health, specifically on prolonged usage.

Complex Multiplanar Fracture of the Distal Femur with an Undescribed Pattern: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Distal femur fractures in younger age groups are associated with high-impact injury leading to severe comminution and soft tissue injuries. Most of the intra-articular distal femur fractures occur as a result of axial loading accompanied by a variable amount of flexion. An 18-year-old male patient who had met with a road traffic accident was brought to the trauma center.

An Unusual Complex Posterolateral Osteoligamentous Injury of the Knee in an Adolescent.

We present an unusual and complex case of a 16-year-old adolescent male who injured his right knee and sustained combined avulsion injuries of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) at the tibial insertion site, iliotibial band at lateral tibial condyle, and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) at femoral insertion site akin to osteoligamentous posterolateral corner injury. Anatomical reduction of the femoral LCL avulsion fragment was performed and fixed with a two 4-mm partially threaded cancellous screw. Iliotibial band avulsion was buttressed using Ellis t-plate and fixed with two 4-mm partially threaded cancellous screws.
