Functional Results of Communited Intra-articular Distal Humerus Fractures Treated with Bicolumnar Plating.

Introduction: Communited intra-articular distal humerus fractures are commonly encountered in orthopaedic practice and they are present with unique difficulties for internal fixation. This problem is especially worse in the elderly due to osteoporotic bone.

Aim: To evaluate the intermediate term results (minimum follow up of two years) of communited intra-articular distal humerus fractures treated with bicolumnar plating with or without olecranon osteotomy in elderly Indian population.

A unique case of bilateral trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation with dislocation of lunate into the forearm.

Introduction: Perilunate dislocations are commonly seen after fall on an outstretched hand in extremes of dorsiflexion and ulnar deviation. A greater arc injury is one when there is an associated fracture of one or more bones around the lunate while a lesser arc injury is associated with pure ligamentous disruption around the lunate.

Case Report: We report a unique case of bilateral trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation in a 35-year-old male labourer.

Impact of negative pressure wound therapy on open diaphyseal tibial fractures: A prospective randomized trial.

Introduction: Open tibial fractures are associated with a high incidence of mainly osteomyelitis. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a novel form of treatment that uses subatmospheric pressure to effect early wound healing.

Objectives And Study Design: To determine the effect of NPWT on incidence of deep infections/osteomyelitis after open tibial fractures using a prospective randomized study design.
