Assessment of average femoral component rotation for balancing functionally aligned total knee replacement in varus deformity: Robotic image guidance study.

Introduction And Purpose: Ensuring proper femoral component alignment post-Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is crucial for normal patellofemoral (PF) kinematics. However, the customary 3° external rotation relative to the Posterior Condylar Axis (PC Axis) may not universally apply, and the expected final femoral component rotation remains unclear in functionally aligned knees. This study examines the relation between the Transepicondylar Axis (TEA) and PC axis, known as Posterior Condylar Angle (PCA) in Indian patients along with factors influencing PCA, and the feasibility of reproducing patient-specific PCA using image-guided Cuvis joint robot.

A computed tomography-based classification of Hoffa fracture: Surgical treatment considerations and prognostic outcome with assessment of reproducibility.

Introduction: Isolated fracture of femoral condyle in the coronal plane (Hoffa fracture) is rare and surgically challenging to treat. The purpose of this study is to introduce a new classification for this fracture, evaluating its utility in treatment guidelines and its reproducibility.

Materials And Methods: 103 patients with Hoffa fracture were operated in our tertiary care centre from 2004 to 2014.

Slipped Distal Femoral Epiphysis in Congenital Insensitivity to Pain.

Introduction: Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is a rare disorder, and often presents to an orthopaedic surgeon as recurrent fractures, dislocations, pseudoarthrosis, osteomyelitis etc. Here, we report a case of congenital insensitivity to pain presenting with distal femoral physeal separation in a child.

Case Report: A 12-year-old girl child came with complaints of limp while walking and swelling in the left knee for past 5 weeks.

Safe corridors for K-wiring in phalangeal fractures.

Background: Unstable phalangeal fractures are commonly treated with K-wire fixation. Operative fixation must be used judiciously and with the expectation that the ultimate outcome should be better than the outcome after nonoperative management. It is necessary to achieve a stable fracture fixation and early mobilization.

Inverted 'V' osteotomy excision arthroplasty for bony ankylosed elbows.

Background: Bony ankylosis of elbow is challenging and difficult problem to treat. The options are excision arthroplasty and total elbow replacement. We report our midterm results on nine patients, who underwent inverted 'V' osteotomy excision arthroplasty in our hospital with good functional results.

Analysis of results of surgical treatment of posttraumatic stiff elbow.

Background: Surgical management of posttraumatic elbow stiffness has been reported with poor outcome following treatment. Sequential release in earlier stages of stiffness yielded much better results. The goal of our study was to assess the outcome in improvement of the range of motion of the elbow after surgical release and to analyze a tailor-made approach according to individual needs to yield good result.
