Introduction: Patients with persistent coccygodynia who do not respond to conventional therapies may undergo ganglion impar block (GIB). We looked at how GIB therapy for individuals with persistent coccygodynia affected their coccygeal dynamic patterns.
Materials And Methods: Patients with persistent coccydynia with GIB once using a trans-Sacro-coccygeal technique with fluoroscopy supervision were taken up for the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the performance of two implants, proximal femoral nail (PFN) and PFN anti-rotation (PFNA), in treating unstable intertrochanteric fractures, particularly in patients with osteoporosis.
- Conducted from May 2021 to October 2023, patients were randomly assigned to receive either PFN or PFNA, with their outcomes assessed using the Modified Harris Hip Score over a minimum follow-up of six months.
- Results indicated that PFNA provided superior functional improvement, especially in rotation stability, with statistically significant higher scores at both the 3-month and 6-month marks compared to PFN.
Article Synopsis
- * A randomized controlled trial conducted at Chettinad Hospital studied patients with persistent lateral epicondylitis, assigning them to receive either PRP or CSI, and assessing their pain and function before and after treatment.
- * Results showed that PRP outperformed CSI in reducing pain and improving function at 6 months, highlighting its potential for long-term relief compared to the faster but temporary effects of CSIs.
Background: Obesity is characterized by abnormal accumulation of fat in adipose tissue. It is a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome caused by chronic inflammatory changes. Naturopathy and yogic intervention are a holistic approach.

Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a bony or fibrous fusion of the articular surfaces of the mandibular condyle and the glenoid fossa. Gap arthroplasty, Interpositional arthroplasty, Condyle reconstruction with autogenic or alloplastic grafts and total joint replacement are some common modalities of management. In this article, we discuss a series of three cases of unilateral TMJ ankylosis in paediatric patients, managed by gap arthroplasty using a modified osteotomy cut.
