The objectives of the study were to assess the morbidity and the time taken for the subsidence of symptoms among snakebite victims and study the Interval between snakebite and initiation of treatment It was a hospital based cross-sectional study. Patients were studied at the time of admission and were followed-up until recovery or death. A total of 84 patients were studied between April 2006 and March 2007. The ratio of males to females was 1.5:1.Maximum number of victims were farmers/ labourers. Among the snakebite victims 82.14% were from the nearby rural and semi rural areas and 32.14% of the bites were found to be poisonous. Maximum number of bites (70.23%) occurred in the lower extremities. About 83.31% attended hospital for treatment within the first 5 hours of bite. Most of the patients who received their Initial treatment within first 3-4 hours in hospital were cured faster. Severity of signs and symptoms of envenomation was found to be directly related to the amount of venom injected. Therefore antisnake venom should be given as early as possible, the maximum effect being if given within the first 4 hours.

Background And Purpose: Computed tomography radiostereometric analysis (CT-RSA) assesses implant micromovements using low-dose CT scans. We aimed to investigate whether CT-RSA is comparable to marker-based radiostereometric analysis (RSA) measuring early femoral head migration in cemented stems. We hypothesized that CT-RSA is comparable to marker-based RSA in evaluating femoral head subsidence.

Objective: Pear-shaped disc could increase the risk of intraoperative end-plate injury, which may lead to postoperative sclerotic Modic Changes (MCs). However, there are no studies on the relationship between pear-shaped disc and postoperative sclerotic MCs. Therefore, this study investigates the risk factors for postoperative sclerotic MCs following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

- The optimal treatment for B2 glenoid morphology in young, active osteoarthritis patients is debated, with various options like hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and reverse TSA available, each having pros and cons.
- Eccentric glenoid reaming can be effective but risks damaging the bone structure, potentially complicating future surgeries, while bone grafting, though beneficial for some, comes with high complication rates.
- Reverse TSA offers a more stable alternative when correcting version and inclination proves difficult, as it adapts better to glenoid deformities and maintains functionality with reduced bone stock.
Impact of titanium mesh cage slotting width on anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion for compression cervical spondylosis with MRI T2WI hyperintensity: a one-year follow-up study.

Department of Orthopedics, Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan Province, China.
Background: Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) is a standard surgical procedure for cervical spondylosis with spinal cord compression (CSWSCC), especially in patients with intensity on T2-weighted imaging high signal (T2WIHS). The titanium mesh cage (TMC) utilized in this procedure is essential in stabilizing the spine; however, the optimal slotting width of the TMC remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of TMC slotting width on the clinical and radiological outcomes of ACCF in patients with spinal cord compression type cervical spondylosis with intensity on T2WIHS (CST2WIHS).

Department of Spine Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, 6 Shuangyong Road, Nanning, 530021, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
Objective: This study aims to perform a meta-analysis that integrates multiple literature sources to evaluate the clinical efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for treating lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD).
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across various databases, including CNKI, VIP, WANFANG DATA, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science, for clinical comparative studies on OLIF and MIS-TLIF for treating LDD, covering the time frame from the inception of the databases to September 2024. Following PRISMA guidelines, studies were screened, assessed, and data were extracted rigorously.
