May 2011

Max Institute of Orthopedics and Joint Replacement, Max Super Specialty Hospitals, Saket, New Delhi, India.

Background: Cemented hip arthroplasty is an established treatment for femoral neck fracture in the mobile elderly. Cement pressurization raises intramedullary pressure and may lead to fat embolization, resulting in fatal bone cement implantation syndrome, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidities. The cementless stem technique may reduce this mortality risk but it is technically demanding and needs precise planning and execution.

Extensively coated revision stems in proximally deficient femur: early results in 15 patients.

Indian J Orthop

July 2008

Max Institute of Orthopedics and Joint Replacement, Max Super Specialty Hospitals, 1, Press Enclave Road, Saket, New Delhi - 110 017, India.

Background: Hip replacement following failed internal fixation (dynamic hip screw for intertrochanteric fractures) or previous hip arthroplasty presents a major surgical challenge. Proximal fitting revision stems do not achieve adequate fixation. Distal fixation with long-stemmed extensively coated cementless implants (like the Solution system) affords a suitable solution.

Prosthetic replacement in femoral neck fracture in the elderly: results and review of the literature.

Indian J Orthop

January 2008

Max Institute of Orthopedics and Joint Replacement, Max Super Specialty Hospitals, 1, Press Enclave Road, Saket, New Delhi - 110 017, India.

Background: Intracapsular fractures of the proximal femur account for a major share of fractures in the elderly. The primary goal of treatment is to return the patient to his or her pre-fracture functional status. There are multiple internal fixation options (screws, dynamic hip screw plate or blade plates) and hemi and total hip arthroplasty.
