Mid-term results of impaction bone grafting in tibial bone defects in complex primary knee arthroplasty for severe varus deformity.

Introduction: Bone defects are a challenging problem encountered occasionally during primary knee arthroplasty. These defects should be meticulously addressed so as to avoid malalignment and premature loosening and failure. Out of the many options available to deal with these defects, impaction bone grafting provides a more biological solution, which is especially important in case of primary knees.

Desmoplastic Fibroma of Bone: a Case Series and Review of Literature.

Desmoplastic fibroma is an uncommon locally aggressive benign tumor of the bone. Patients usually present with a long-standing history of pain and swelling. Radiologically and histologically, it can mimic a variety of tumors.

Extensive Re-ossification and Reformation of the Proximal Femur After External Beam Radiotherapy in Metastatic Carcinoma Breast.

Management of metastatic bone disease is still evolving and is dependent upon many factors including the primary tumour type, expected life expectancy, site and size of lesion, character of the lesion, lytic or blastic, and the number of lesions. Active orthopaedic surgical intervention is usually required at the time of pathological fracture either impending or actual. Management options are either in situ fixation or replacement/arthroplasty.

Retrospective analysis of open reduction and internal fixation of coronal plane fractures of the capitellum and trochlea using the anterolateral approach.

Introduction: Coronal plane distal humeral injuries are relatively rare. Numerous classification systems have been proposed as the complexity of these fractures has been realized. We in the present series of ten patients describe the surgical technique of Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Coronal plane fractures of the distal humerus with headless compression screws performed using the anterolateral approach.

Retrospective analysis of extra-articular distal humerus shaft fractures treated with the use of pre-contoured lateral column metaphyseal LCP by triceps-sparing posterolateral approach.

Management of extra-articular distal humerus fractures presents a challenge to the treating surgeon due to the complex anatomy of the distal part of the humerus and complicated fracture morphology. Although surgical treatment has shown to provide a more stable reduction and alignment and predictable return to function, it has been associated with complications like iatrogenic radial nerve palsy, infection, non-union and Implant failure. We in the present series retrospectively analysed 20 patients with extra-articular distal humerus shaft fractures surgically treated using the extra-articular distal humeral locking plate approached by the triceps-sparing posterolateral approach.

A Closed Lateral Subtalar Dislocation With Checkrein Deformity of Great Toe due to Entrapment of Flexor Hallucis Longus: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: Closed lateral subtalar dislocation is a very rare injury. We report a case of closed lateral subtalar dislocation with entrapment of flexor hallucis longus tendon producing a checkrein deformity. The patient was managed immediately with closed reduction under regional anesthesia and fixated with percutaneous Kirschner wires.

Autograft reconstructions for bone defects in primary total knee replacement in severe varus knees.

Background: Large posteromedial defects encountered in severe varus knees during primary total knee arthroplasty can be treated by cementoplasty, structural bone grafts or metallic wedges. The option is selected depending upon the size of the defect. We studied the outcome of autograft (structural and impaction bone grafting) reconstruction of medial tibial bone defects encountered during primary total knee replacement in severe varus knees.

Sideswipe injuries around the elbow: Management and functional evaluation.

Introduction: Sideswipe injuries constitute a subgroup of complex elbow trauma. Almost all of these are high energy open injuries. There is no fixed protocol that is followed in the earlier studies.
