Suprapatellar nailing in complex Tibial Fractures.

Purpose: This study evaluates the functional and radiological outcomes of segmental and comminuted tibial fractures using a suprapatellar approach in semi extended position.

Methods: A total of 62 patients, with a mean age of 40.8 (range: 21-78 yrs) and 43 males and 19 females, were retrospectively evaluated between January 2017 and December 2022.

Bilateral Clavicle Fractures Treated With Screw Intramedullary Flexible Nail.

Clavicle fractures have been known to be common injuries with a reported incidence of 2.4-4% amongst all fractures, however the incidence of bilateral clavicle fractures is rare. A thorough search of all English language journals revealed that bilateral clavicle fractures comprised 0.

Distal Radial Fracture Fixation in Adults using Intramedullary Elastic Wires Augmented with either Cast Immobilisation or External Fixation.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes following treatment of distal radial fractures using intramedullary elastic wires with a combination of either cast immobilisation or external fixation.

Materials And Methods: A total of 42 patients (24 females and 18 males) aged 40 to 78 years who presented with displaced and unstable, closed or grade I open, extra- and/or intra-articular fractures of the distal radius were included in the study. Twenty-seven fractures were AO/OTA Type A2-A3 and 15 Type C1-C2.

Results of the keyhole interlocked nailing for humeral diaphyseal fractures in adults.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of interlocked humerus nail through a keyhole incision for the management of humeral diaphyseal fractures in terms of radiological union, shoulder function, and complications.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective study of sixty-two patients with humeral diaphyseal fractures in our institute (51 men, 11 women; mean age 42 years; range 20 to 73 years), fifty-nine fractures were closed and three were grade I open fractures. Three patients had a preoperative radial nerve palsy.

Can We Predict Severity of Osteoarthritis of Knees and Compartmental Involvement Based on a Set of Predefined Clinical Questions in Patients of Knee Pain?

Background: We investigated whether the severity of Osteoarthritis (OA) knees can be predicted based on a set of predefined clinical questions (PCQs) about activities of daily living (ADL). We studied the association of demographic factors and advanced radiographic OA (KL 3 and 4) and the relationship between various physical activities and radiographic involvement of knee joint compartments based on PCQs.

Materials And Methods: Demographic data, radiographic grading of knee OA and PCQs score, were obtained prospectively.
