Various Flexible Fixation Techniques Using Suture Button for Ligamentous Lisfranc Injuries: A Review of Surgical Options.

Contrary to Lisfranc joint fracture-dislocation, ligamentous Lisfranc injury can lead to additional instability and arthritis and is difficult to diagnose. Appropriate procedure selection is necessary for a better prognosis. Several surgical methods have recently been introduced.

Myopericytoma Involving Proximal Phalanx of Index Finger: Masquerading as Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor - A Case Report.

Introduction: Myopericytoma (MPC) is an uncommon benign smooth muscle cell neoplasm which frequently arises in lower extremities, sparsely they can be found in upper extremities and head and neck region. Very few case reports are available in the literature documenting hand localization of this tumor.

Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case of 83-year-old male individual with a mass lesion on the proximal phalanx of index finger of the right hand.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Associated With Anxiety: Efficacy and Safety of Fixed Dose Combination of Amitriptyline and Pantoprazole.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of fixed dose combination of amitriptyline and pantoprazole in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) associated with anxiety.

Methods: A non-randomized, open-labeled, non-comparative, multi-center study was conducted in a total of 99 patients (77 men and 22 women, mean age 44.16 ± 11.

"Basket weave technique" for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction: Clinical outcome of a prospective study.

Background: Bone tunneling and implants with rigid fixations for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction are known to compromise results and are avoidable, especially in skeletally immature subjects. This study was to assess if these deficiencies were overcome with the technique devised by the author which avoids implants and bone tunnels. Results were assessed for complication rate and outcome.

Fast-track surgery: Toward comprehensive peri-operative care.

Fast-track surgery is a multimodal approach to patient care using a combination of several evidence-based peri-operative interventions to expedite recovery after surgery. It is an extension of the critical pathway that integrates modalities in surgery, anesthesia, and nutrition, enforces early mobilization and feeding, and emphasizes reduction of the surgical stress response. It entails a great partnership between a surgeon and an anesthesiologist with several other specialists to form a multi-disciplinary team, which may then engage in patient care.

Retroperitoneal perforation of the appendix presenting as a right thigh abscess.

A rare case of a retroperitoneal rupture of the appendix is being reported here. A 53-year-old male presented to us with a right sided thigh abscess. There were not any abdominal complaints at presentation.

Eggs containing larvae of Enterobius vermicularis in vaginal smear.

Enterobius vermicularis also known commonly as pinworm is the most common intestinal parasite. It is a nematode that inhabits the human terminal ileum, colon and appendix. The fertilized female migrates to the perianal area where eggs are deposited but occasionally introduces itself into adjacent orifices, most commonly the female genitourinary tract.

Mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Purpose: Mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is not a well-known entity. Only 1 case of mucoid degeneration of the ACL has been reported in the English-language literature. This article describes 5 cases of mucoid degeneration of the ACL with clinical features, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and a method of arthroscopic management of these cases.

An anatomic study of the popliteofibular ligament.

Our study was prompted by the varied reports in literature about the existence of the popliteofibular ligament as an integral part of the posterolateral corner of the knee. We performed 25 formalinised cadaveric knee dissections and identified the popliteofibular ligament. It was on an average 11.

Electrocardiographic manifestations following electric injury.

A 23-year-old man admitted with electric injury had intermittent episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, recurrent ventricular premature complexes, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia and ST changes suggestive of pericarditis. The non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and ventricular premature complexes responded to intravenous lidocaine, atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia to intravenous digoxin.

Progressive pseudorheumatoid chondrodysplasia simulating juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Four patients from a Muslim family with an inherited skeletal dysplasia are presented. It is more crippling than usual form of spondylo-epiphysial dysplasia tarda and the onset is very early in the life i.e.
