Effectiveness of continuous versus single injection femoral nerve block for total knee arthroplasty: A double blinded, randomized trial.

Background: Effective analgesia following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is important for maximizing patient satisfaction, early participation in physical therapy and reducing the hospital stay. This trial compared continuous catheter femoral nerve block (cFNB) to single injection femoral nerve block (sFNB) in terms of analgesia, opioid consumption, and participation in physical therapy and associated side effects.

Methods: This randomized, double blinded trial was conducted in a non-university hospital setting, without major changes to anesthesia or surgical clinical pathways.

Unfavourable outcomes of liposuction and their management.

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures currently performed by plastic surgeons around the world. It must be clear at the outset that liposuction is not primarily a modality for weight loss, it is meant to be a body contouring procedure and therefore the inherent limitations and safety issues related to this must always be respected if complications and unfavourable results are to be avoided as far as possible.

Tissue expansion: Concepts, techniques and unfavourable results.

The phenomenon of tissue expansion is observed in nature all the time. The same properties of the human skin to stretch and expand and yield extra skin if placed under continuous stress over a prolonged period of time has been utilised for reconstructive purposes with the help of a silicon balloon inserted under the skin and progressively filled with saline. The technique of tissue expansion is now more than three decades old and has been a value addition to our armamentarium in reconstructive surgery in all parts of the body.

Infection rate of percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation for distal radius fractures.

Purpose: To review the infection rate in 43 patients who underwent percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation for distal radius fractures.

Methods: Records of 13 men and 30 women aged 25 to 86 (mean, 49) years who underwent closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation for unstable distal radius fractures were reviewed. Each fracture was fixed with 2 to 3 wires of 1.
