Background: The treatment of displaced paediatric supracondylar fracture is a challenging problem and requires strict vigilance and a proper management protocol. Prospective investigation of the treatment options for fractures that cannot be reduced by closed reduction is recommended in literature. Operative treatment is indicated for the fractures that cannot be reduced satisfactorily by closed methods. It is also considered the best option for late presenting fractures. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the clinical outcome using open reduction through anterior approach in delayed presentation and failed closed reduction of supracondylar fracture humerus in children.
Materials And Methods: 15 patients of failed closed reduction and 11 patients of delayed presentation of supracondylar humerus fractures were operated with anterior approach. The demographic data, time from injury to presentation and from admission to surgery, reasons for delayed presentation, type of fracture, operative findings and time, K-wire configuration, length of hospitalization, post operative complications were noted. The patients were followed up for a period of 12 months and final range of motion, Baumann's angle, and cosmetic, functional and overall outcome by Flynn's criteria were evaluated and analyzed.
Results: The overall outcome was very satisfactory according to Flynn's criteria. 80.77% patients had excellent, 15.38% patients had good, and 3.85% patient had fair results with no poor results. Our results show distinct advantage of anterior approach which are on a par with or better than the previous studies using anterior approach, adding to their evidence.
Conclusion: Open reduction using anterior approach is a very safe, logical and effective technique of treating failed closed reduction or late presentation of supracondylar fractures humerus in children with excellent cosmetic and functional results, and offers distinctive advantage over other approaches.

Background: Modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) is a trunk block that has been gaining attention for managing postoperative pain following abdominal surgeries since its first report in 2019. We conducted a scoping review on M-TAPA, aiming to comprehensively evaluate existing research, identify the gaps in knowledge, and understand the implications of M-TAPA.
Methods: This scoping review was conducted using databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL to evaluate the clinical efficacy of M-TAPA on April 19, 2024.
Robotic Real Anatomical Right Hepatectomy Preserving the Caudate Lobe: Separate Dissection of the Right Anterior and Posterior Glissonean Pedicles, Combined with the Use of ICG Fluorescent Imaging (with Video).

Background: Conventional right hepatectomy typically involves resection of the right hemiliver, often including partial removal of the caudate lobe. However, recent advancements, particularly in indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, have allowed for more accurate identification of anatomical boundaries between liver segments. In this context, we present a refined technique for real anatomical right hepatectomy that preserves the caudate lobe, offering enhanced surgical precision and several distinct advantages over traditional methods.

Placing an implant immediately into extraction sockets provides a distinct advantage over delayed placement, eliminating the need for a 4 to 6 months waiting period for bone formation. However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth.

Objective: Abnormal mechanical stress is intimately coupled with osteoarthritis (OA). Microtubules play a vital role in the regulation of mechanotransduction and intracellular transport. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of stress-induced microtubule impairment on intracellular transport and lipid droplet (LD) accumulation in chondrocytes.
