Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common orthopedic procedure, employing various grafts such as the hamstring tendon, bone-patellar bone, and quadriceps tendon. Fixation methods include suspensory loop with button, interferential screw, and cortical fixation. The optimal screw diameter for tibial tunnel fixation remains undefined, with choices ranging from 1mm smaller to 1-2 mm larger than the tunnel diameter.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared two surgical techniques for ACL reconstruction: the all-inside (AI) technique using hamstring autograft and the outside-in (OI) technique using an interference screw and a cortical Endobutton.
  • It was a double-blinded randomized controlled trial involving 44 patients, monitored over 12 months through different scoring scales to assess pain and function.
  • Results showed that the AI technique provided better outcomes and pain relief at 3, 6, and 12-month follow-ups compared to the OI technique.

Anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD) is the most common type of dislocation presented to the emergency department (ED) with severe pain and limitation of range of movement. Procedural sedation and analgesia are commonly used for ASD, but regional techniques are gaining popularity. Interscalene brachial plexus block is effective but has several limitations.

Introduction: Patellar tendon rupture is a rare injury and is often missed in primary and secondary care centers because of non-visibility in X-rays. Neglected rupture is even rarer and gives rise to significant disability. These injuries are technically difficult to repair with invariably poor functional outcomes.

 To compare the effectiveness of the early accelerated rehabilitation and delayed conservative rehabilitation protocols after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, in terms of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, pain (according to the Visual Analog Scale), laxity, and stiffness one year postoperatively to determine the best outcome.  A total of 80 subjects were divided into 2e groups (early accelerated group and delayed conservative group), which were analyzed by the Pearson Chi-squared and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.  One year postoperatively, knee laxity was significantly higher (  = 0.

The periosteum covers the surface of long bone except at the joints. During fracture fixation, we found the periosteum is ragged and damaged. Our objective is to determine the microscopic picture of traumatized periosteum in terms of the degree of damage, cell type, stromal tissue, and vascularity.

Establishing the cause of unilateral leg pain is difficult in the settings of tibial diaphyseal sclerosis. This patient, a 36-year-old woman presented with unilateral pretibial leg pain for past 7 months without history of trauma, infections, systemic or metabolic disease. Besides local deep tenderness, other clinical findings and blood investigations were normal.

Background: Trauma is the leading cause of hospitalization globally, and trauma-induced spinal injuries can be devastating and permanent. The objective of this study was to describe the pattern, association, and outcome in patients with traumatic spine injury (TSI).

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was undertaken on patients with TSI who presented to the trauma and emergency department of a level 1 trauma center in eastern India between August 15, 2018, and August 14, 2019, by including 103 patients.

Defect in the lateral malleolus along with lateral ligamentous injury of ankle is rare. It occurs mainly due to resection of distal fibula tumors and severe trauma leading to loss of lateral malleolus. Lateral malleoli has the major contribution in weight transmission to foot and ankle stability.
