Management of pathological fracture in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma is sporadic in nature and seldom symptomatic. Patients usually present with pathological fractures. The objective of this study was to diagnose primary hyperparathyroidism in patients presenting with pathological neck of femur fractures, detection of the adenoma or ectopic tissue, removal of the tissue, and treatment of the fracture.

Single long midline incision versus two small incision techniques in treatment of Schatzker type V and type VI tibial plateau fractures--a comparative study.

Tibial plateau fractures had been treated with single long midline incision technique traditionally. But recently two-incision technique is becoming popular Tibial plateau fractures are generally classified according to the method developed by Schatzker. Schatzker types V and VI fractures are high-energy fractures often accompanied by other injuries and complications, such as postoperative inflammation, wound problems and infections.

Patellar anthropometry in sex differentiation--a study ii the northern part of West Bengal, India.

As in many cases long bones get available in fragments, so gender determination from short as well as robust bones like patella paid importance now-a-days. So far the literature reviewed such records are little in Indians especially from West Bengal. The present study is aimed to demonstrate the gender differentiability of different patellar anthropometric parameters viz, length, breadth, surface areas of articular surfaces, patellar Index, etc, amongst population of northern part of West Bengal in India.

Epidemiology of cervical spinal cord injury in eastern India: an autopsy-based study.

Aims: Cervical spinal cord injury is a major cause of fatality among trauma victims. Unlike developed countries, national spinal cord injury database is not maintained in India. Paucity of data hampers the understanding of epidemiology of the event in India.

Distal femoral fit non-cemented arthroplasty in proximal deficient femur--early results.

Revision surgeries in failed proximal femoral pathologies following osteosynthesis or some kind of replacements pose a challenging task. These can be well managed by distally well fitted extensively coated hydroxyapatide long non-cemented interlocked Reef-Dupuy stem. Here a short series of 10 cases with average follow-up of 3 years is being presented.

Augmented versus non-augmented open surgical repair of fresh tendo-achilles injury: a prospective randomised study.

Injuries to the tendo-achilles in our country are mostly open injuries due to fall or slippage into the Indian type of lavatory pan. After thorough debridement open repair of the tendoachilles is done by non-augmented or augmented method. We studied about the augmented versus non-augmented open surgicalrepair of fresh tendo-achilles injuries.
