Decade Later Presentation of an Intraosseous Metallic Foreign Body in the Pelvis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Introduction: Metallic foreign body reactions are observed many times, usually in the early periods. However, late presentations are often uncommon. Management of these foreign bodies varies from a military setting to a civilian setting where saving a patient's life is the priority.

Demographic characteristics of patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at a tertiary care hospital in India.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common sports-related injuries. Their incidence is not the same either for all the sports or for the same sport across various nations. This information is maintained by many sports leagues in their registries.

Does One Size Really Fit All? Morphometric Analysis of Distal Femur and Proximal Tibia in an Ethnic Indian Population and Correlation to the Sizing of Existing Total Knee Arthroplasty Implants.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been proven to be a highly efficacious procedure for patients with end-stage osteoarthritis who have persistent symptoms not managed by conservative treatment. A large percentage of standard commercially available total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants are imported and designed based on morphometric data of Western populations, which are known to have a larger build compared to their Asian counterparts. Hence, these prostheses may sometimes not be the best fit for Indian patients.

Fracture Due to Hypercalcemia of Benignancy From a Parotid Tumour.

Pseudo-arthrosis of the proximal humerus is an uncommon condition that is difficult to treat. Humoral hypercalcemia from a benign tumour is a rare clinical entity and pleomorphic adenoma as its source has never been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 53-year-old gentleman with a pleomorphic parotid gland adenoma and pseudoarthrosis non-union of the proximal humerus exacerbated by symptomatic parathormone-independent hypercalcemia.

Ramp Lesions in Chronic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries.

Background: Meniscus ramp lesions associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are being increasingly reported in the literature. This study was carried out to know the incidence of ramp lesions in ACL injured patients and to study the characteristics of these patients in our population.

Methods: Seventy-five patients who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 2021 to December 2021 were prospectively studied.

Lockdown imposition due to COVID-19 and its effect on orthopedic emergency department in level 1 trauma center in South Asia.

Background: The coronavirus pandemic brought the entire world to a standstill. One of the most stringent lockdowns in the world was implemented in India. With the entire healthcare system being stretched, emergency orthopaedic services also take a hit.

Comparison of F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging as Markers of Graft Viability in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F18-FDG PET/CT) can be used to assess changes in the metabolism of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft as it is undergoing "ligamentization." Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is the preferred modality for noninvasive assessment of graft structure and graft vascularity.

Purpose: To compare the use of F18-FDG PET/CT and DCE-MRI to assess ligamentization within the ACL graft and correlate the results with clinical tests.
