Subungual Osteochondroma of the Great Toe: A Case Report.

Bony outgrowths of the distal phalanx of the great toe have been described in the literature but rarely. These subungual bony outgrowths can be caused by subungual exostosis or subungual osteochondromas. Both of these abnormalities are bony outgrowths with differences in the cartilage cap wherein the exostoses have fibrocartilage, and osteochondromas have hyaline cartilage.

The Role of Conservative Management in the Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head: A Review of Systematic Reviews.

Introduction/background: Multiple medical and surgical treatments have been described in the early stages of Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head which delay the disease progression. Similarly, multiple studies, trials, reviews, and systematic reviews exist for the various treatments described and their outcomes but with no consensus over which is superior. So in this study, we reviewed the systematic reviews of all the conservative therapies for AVN of the femoral head systematically to identify a single or a combination of non-surgical treatment choices in the initial stages of the disease.

A Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique for Hallux Valgus Deformity Correction Using an Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel (All India Institute of Medical Sciences Technique).

Hallux valgus is a common forefoot deformity characterized by medial deviation of the first metatarsal and lateral deviation of the hallux. More than 150 procedures have been described for the hallux valgus deformity with no proven superiority of one over the other. The initial osteotomies are open, and with the advent of power and micro instruments, the osteotomies were manageable via mini incisions and percutaneous procedures.

Judet's Quadricepsplasty Technique Offers Excellent Functional Outcome Without an Extension Lag for Extension Contracture of the Knee: A Retrospective Cohort of 33 Patients.

Purpose: The Judet's technique of quadricepsplasty for an extension contracture of the knee joint offers the benefit of a sequential and controlled release of the intrinsic and extrinsic soft tissue constituents restricting the knee flexion. The main principle of our study was to analyze the clinical as well as functional outcome and to assess an extension lag following Judet's quadricepsplasty for the knee extension contracture deformity.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study comprises of thirty three patients, operated for extension contracture with Judet's quadricepsplasty with the mean follow-up was 30 months.
