Aim: To describe here a technique of miniarthrotomy assisted percutaneous screw insertion for displaced Herscovici type B and C medial malleolar fractures.
Method: Incision was made centred over the superomedial angle of the ankle mortise, about half a cm medial to tibialis anterior. Arthrotomy was done and reduction obtained. Percuntaneously, two 4 mm cancellous cannulated screws were inserted through medial malleolus.
Results And Conclusion: This approach allows direct visualization of reduction, removal of entrapped soft tissue and preservation of saphenous vein and nerve.

Article Synopsis
- The objective of the treatment is to address focal cartilage defects of the humeral capitellum using autologous bone-cartilage cylinders to prevent arthritis in the elbow joint.!
- It is indicated for high-grade, unstable lesions characterized by more than 50% involvement of the capitellum, whereas stable lesions and conditions like generalized osteochondritis are contraindicated for this procedure.!
- Post-surgery, patients are placed in a cast for up to two weeks and start physiotherapy, with a focus on regaining painless range of motion before advancing to resistance training, and competitive sports can only resume after 6 to 8 months, showing promising results in recovery rates compared to other fixation methods.!
Comparison of Two Stifle Exploratory Methods Using Mini-Arthrotomy for Diagnosis of Canine Medial Meniscal Pathology: An Ex Vivo Study.

Objective: The main aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of stifle exploratory using either a stifle distractor (SD method) or a combination of Hohmann and Senn retractors (HS method) for diagnosing canine medial meniscal tears in cranial cruciate ligament-deficient stifles.
Study Design: Fifteen pairs of canine cadaveric pelvic limbs were used and cranial cruciate ligament were transected in all stifles. Paired limbs were then randomly assigned to one of five groups based on the tears created in the caudal pole of the medial meniscus: no tear, peripheral detachment, or a variation in three vertical longitudinal tears.

Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty: past, present, and future.

Choices for a limited approach to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) now include the mini-arthrotomy, the mini-midvastus, the subvastus, and the quadriceps-sparing technique. These newer approaches suggest use of modified instruments at least smaller in overall size; call for early ambulation and range of motion with modified pain management protocols; demonstrate improved early recovery of the knee; and lead to less visualization and can contribute to an increase in outliers. Use of navigation for TKA remains controversial.

In a prospective blinded non-randomised cohort study, 32 patients were assessed following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autograft middle-third bone-patellar tendon-bone, over a period of 10 months. Two experienced surgeons performed the procedures, one using an arthroscopically assisted technique (16 patients) and the other by mini-arthrotomy (16 patients). A comparison was made between the positions of the tunnels as perceived by the surgeon intra-operatively with the actual position as shown on the post-operative X-ray.
