Reconstruction of gap non-union tibia with composite use of extramedullary fixation and bone transport by monorail fixator: a prospective case series.

Introduction: Non-union is a complex, multifactorial orthopaedic problem that requires multiple treatment modalities for its management. It can result from infection, segmental bone loss, soft-tissue loss, and associated host factors. External fixators as management of gap non-union are bulky and give rise to a number of complications In our study, we have described a technique where we have used extramedullary fixation in the form of a tibial locking plate and transportation of part of the tibial bone after corticotomy by a monorail fixator.

Computed tomography-based morphometric analysis of normal distal tibiofibular syndesmosis in the Indian population.

Background: In suspected Ankle Instability, the parameters that can be defined in the X-ray have their limitation owing to their variability in positioning and rotation of the tibiofibular joint. This inaccuracy further increases due to variability in morphometric parameters of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis among different populations based on race and sex. This research aims to study morphometry of normal distal tibiofibular syndesmosis based on computed tomography imaging in the Indian population.

Use of locked plates and mono-rail fixator in segmental tibial defects: A prospective interventional study.

Introduction: The management of gap non-union is a major challenge to both the clinician and the patient as it is technically difficult, time-intensive, and physically arduous for the patient along with an unpredictable result. Gap non-union can arise from extrusion of bony fragment at the time of trauma or after debridement of unhealthy bone later. Moreover, Tibia because of its subcutaneous anatomy can easily undergo bone-loss and segmental defect.

Return to sports after ankle reconstruction with tendon grafts in chronic lateral ankle instability: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Anatomic reconstruction using grafts is being performed more frequently in athletes experiencing recurrent chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). The purpose of the study was to systematically review the current literature to determine the rates of return to sports (RTS) along with timing in patients with CLAI undergoing ligament reconstruction.

Methods: The databases PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Embase were searched based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

Hydatid Disease of Tibia Reconstructed with Allograft: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Hydatid disease of bone shows a well-defined, multiloculated lytic lesion with the appearance of a bunch of grapes. The presenting symptoms are pain and swelling with or without pathological fracture. The treatment options include surgery followed by a long duration of albendazole.

Clinical Profile, Functional Outcome, and Mortality of Guillain-Barre Syndrome: A Five-Year Tertiary Care Experience from Nepal.

Introduction: Guillain-Barre syndrome is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in the adult population. It occurs at the rate of 0.34 to 4 per 100000 individuals.
