Biomechanically designed Curve Specific Corrective Exercise for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis gives significant outcomes in an Adult: A case report.

Background: This study presents findings on improvements to the Frontal and Sagittal Cobb angle, Global Spinal balance, and lung function parameters (FEV1, PEF) in an adult male with idiopathic scoliosis suffering from pain during ADL and sports activities who was treated with a biomechanically designed exercise protocol.

Case Presentation: The 26-year-old male reported upper and middle back pain which worsened when playing cricket. Whole spine standing x-Ray AP view revealed a right thoracic Scoliosis (Lenke 1 curve) of Cobb angle 48.

Efficiency of vitamin D supplementation in patients with mechanical low back ache.

Background: Preliminary evidence suggests an association of hypovitaminosis D (hypo.D) with mechanical Low back ache (mLBA).

Aim: This study was designed to 1.

Reconstruction of Traumatic, Open Supracondylar Femoral Fractures by Autologous Fibular Strut Grafting and Cortico-Cancellous Bone Grafting-A Single-Centre, Observational Study.

Objectives: To study the safety and efficacy of staged reconstruction of distal femoral (supracondylar) bone loss using autologous fibular strut, cortico-cancellous bone grafting.

Design: Single-centre, observational study, with review of literature.

Setting: Urban Level I Trauma Center.

Worsening of Callus Hyperplasia after Bisphosphonate Treatment in Type V Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

Background: Type V osteogenesis imperfecta is characterized by hyperplastic callus formation and interosseus membrane calcification.

Case Characteristics: A 16-year-old boy who presented with history of recurrent fractures, had hard persistent swellings at fracture sites, and had radiographic features of hyperplastic callus and interosseus membrane calcification.

Outcome: Sequence analysis of the IFITM5 gene revealed the c.

Spinal and Epidural Anesthesia in Patients With Recent Stable Fractures of Vertebral Column.

Background: The use of central neuraxial block (CNB) in patients with spinal injuries with or without spinal cord injury continues to be a contentious issue due to paucity of evidence supporting or refuting its use. There are only a few case reports reporting the use of the technique in these patients. We performed a retrospective record review of patients who underwent neuraxial blockade for lower limb orthopedic surgery in the presence of coexisting recent spine injury (defined as spine injury within 1 month) to assess the occurrence of postoperative deterioration of spinal cord function or occurrence of new spinal cord dysfunction.

The preoperative and intraoperative risk factors for early postoperative mechanical ventilation after scoliosis surgery: A retrospective study.

Background: Patients undergoing corrective surgery for scoliosis of spine are commonly ventilated in our institute after the operation. Postoperative mechanical ventilation (PMV) and subsequent prolongation of intensive care unit stay are associated with increase in medical expenditure and complications such as ventilator-associated pneumonia. Identification of factors which may contribute to PMV and their modification may help in allocation of resources effectively.
