Screw and wire fixation for Lisfranc fracture dislocations.

Purpose: To assess mid-term outcome of screw and wire fixation for Lisfranc fracture dislocations to determine the risk factors of post-traumatic arthritis.

Methods: 15 men and 4 women aged 21 to 58 (mean, 41) years with Lisfranc fractures underwent open/ closed reduction and internal fixation (using screw and wire). Fractures were classified as homolateral (n=7), isolated (n=7), and divergent (n=5).

Tumor like swellings arising from Hoffa's fat pad: A report of three patients.

We report three rare cases of tumor-like conditions arising from Hoffa's fat pad (HFP). Patients were having persistent knee pain, the cause of which was not diagnosed by the general physician, and then were referred to us for knee pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the lesions to be arising from HFP (ganglion cysts and hemangioma), as was suggested by clinical findings.

Subchondral Insufficiency Fracture of Femoral head: Uncommon cause of Hip pain in Elderly.

Introduction: Subchondral insufficiency fracture (SIF) of femoral head is not very common cause of hip pain. This usually occurs in elderly osteoporotic patients or fatigue fracture in young military recruits.

Case Report: We report a case of hip pain in an osteoporotic male which was diagnosed on MRI after the condition was missed by two physicians initially.

Tuberculosis of spine with neurological deficit in advanced pregnancy: a report of three cases.

Background Context: Early decompression in spinal tuberculosis (TB) with complete paraplegia has a better prognosis in relation to the neurological recovery and deformity progression. Advanced pregnancy can complicate this picture in view of the various fetomaternal factors. The prevalent literature is inconclusive regarding the time and extent of surgical intervention.
