A Midterm Analysis of Outcomes of Septic Arthritis of Hip Treated With Two Stage Cement Spacer and Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Objectives: Septic arthritis of the hip, if not managed early and adequately, leads to degenerative arthritis with pain and debility. Various treatment options have been recommended, but no guidelines for the same have been established. Aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of our protocol for timing of staging using serological markers, rate of periprosthetic joint infection, midterm implant survivorship and functional outcomes.

Correlation of nipple eczema in pregnancy with atopic dermatitis in Northern India: a study of 100 cases.

Background: Nipple eczema is a less common presentation of atopic dermatitis. No studies in the literature have correlated nipple eczema in pregnancy as a manifestation of atopic dermatitis.

Comparative analysis of treatment of basicervical femur fractures in young adults with CCS, DHS, and PFN.

Objective: To the best of the authors' knowledge, no studies in the literature have compared the clinical outcome of the three most common implants used to treat basicervical fractures of the femoral neck in young adults, CCS, DHS, and PFN. The present study attempts to fill the void in the literature and reach a conclusion regarding the usefulness of these implants in these fractures.

Methods: This was a prospective interventional study including 90 patients with basicervical fracture of the neck of femur treated randomly with cancellous cannulated lag screws or dynamic hip screw, with a derotation screw or short PFN.

Treatment of stable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur with proximal femoral nail versus dynamic hip screw: a comparative study.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with stable intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral nail vs. dynamic hip screw.

Methods: Sixty patients with stable intertrochanteric fractures, aged over 18 years, were randomly divided into the proximal femoral nail and dynamic hip screw groups.

Mal de Meleda with Congenital Cataract: A Novel Case Report.

Mal de meleda (MdM), a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis is characterized by erythema and hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles with a sharp demarcation and that progress with age (progrediens) and extend to the dorsal aspects of the hands and feet (transgrediens). It has been associated with various conditions albeit rarely with congenial cataract. Ocular lens and the skin have the same embryological origins.

Phacomatosis cesiomarmorata with hypospadias and phacomatosis cesioflammea with Sturge-Weber syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and aplasia of veins -- case reports with rare associations.

Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by the co-existence of an extensive vascular and a pigmentary nevus with or without extracutaneous manifestations. We report two such rare cases. The first is a 3-year-old boy exhibiting a rare association of cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita with aberrant dermal melanocytosis along with hypospadias and melanosis oculi (traditionally classified as PPV type Vb or phacomatosis cesiomarmorata - Happle's classification).
