The use of Stimulan in bone and joint infections.

Aims: Musculoskeletal infection is a devastating complication in both trauma and elective orthopaedic surgeries that can result in significant morbidity. Aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and complications of local antibiotic impregnated dissolvable synthetic calcium sulphate beads (Stimulan Rapid Cure) in the hands of different surgeons from multiple centres in surgically managed bone and joint infections.

Methods: Between January 2019 and December 2022, 106 patients with bone and joint infections were treated by five surgeons in five hospitals.

The Masquelet technique in an extruded talus injury after open peri-talar dislocation-A case report.

Extruded talus is a rare injury pattern that occurs following a high velocity injury loading on a supinated and plantar flexed foot. Treatment for such rare presentation varies from talectomy to arthrodesis. Reimplantation than excision has been favoured in literature, but it carries its own subset of issues to tackle from avascular necrosis to infection.

Articular disimpaction in acetabular fractures.

Acetabular impaction fractures when not adequately addressed leads to early arthritis. Dome impaction injuries and marginal impaction injuries have to be properly planned pre-operatively with respect to surgical approach, disimpaction techniques and fixation strategies. CT scan is the best modality to analyse the site, extent of impaction and plan strategies to reduce.

Management of subtrochanteric fractures by nail osteosynthesis: a review of tips and tricks.

Introduction: Subtrochanteric fractures of femur remain most challenging injuries faced by orthopaedic surgeons. The implant choice shifted from extra medullary to intramedullary nails over the last two decades. Effort to achieve anatomical reduction before nail insertion for better outcomes has been emphasized well in literature.

Antibiotic Cement Spacer and Induced Membrane Bone Grafting in Open Fractures with Bone Loss: A Case Series.

Background: Open fractures are a difficult entity, often complicated by infection and nonunion. Bone loss in such fractures adds to the complexity. Conventional techniques of bone defect management are mainly directed toward fracture union but not against preventing infection or joint stiffness.

Bilateral Posterior Fracture-Dislocation of Shoulder Following Seizures Secondary to Cavernous Sinus Venous Thrombosis - A Rare Association.

Introduction: Bilateral posterior fracture dislocation of both shoulders is a rare condition which can easily be missed due to its imprecise presentation. In this case report, we emphasize its diagnosis and summarize the various treatment options available for bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of shoulders and also its management in conjunction with cavernous sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT).

Case Report: A 29-year-old gentleman had bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of shoulders, with comminuted three-part fractures of both humeral heads, after two episodes of seizures, following CSVT.

Fracture Dislocation of Shoulder with Brachial Plexus Palsy: A Case Report and Review of Management Options.

Introduction: Injuries causing fracture dislocation of shoulder and brachial plexus palsy are extremely rare. As per authors' knowledge, three part fracture of proximal humerus with shoulder dislocation and brachial plexus palsy has not been reported in the literature.

Case Presentation: A 53 year old female sustained a three part fracture of right proximal humerus along with dislocation of shoulder joint and brachial plexus palsy following a fall from a flight of stairs.
