Radiation-free Insertion of Interlocked Intramedullary Tibial Nail in Closed Extra-articular Displaced Tibial Shaft Fractures in an Emergency Setup.

Background: Interlocking nailing is considered a gold standard surgical treatment of mid-shaft closed diaphyseal tibial fractures. With increasing exposure of orthopaedic surgeons to radiation, we propose a solution to this health hazard through a study wherein we perform the surgery without any radiation or C-arm exposure.

Glenohumeral Arthrodesis Using Pelvic Reconstruction Plates: a Series of 15 Patients.

Background: Glenohumeral joint arthrodesis has become a rare entity due to the introduction of shoulder arthroplasty. It is an excellent salvage procedure for patients with severe shoulder dysfunction, with limited treatment options, indicated for brachial plexus injury, tumour resection, chronic infection, failed prosthetic arthroplasty, or pseudoparalysis of the shoulder due to combined rotator cuff and deltoid deficiency. Shoulder arthrodesis relieves the patient of pain and gives a decent amount of function.
