Evaluation and Management of Acetabular Bone Loss in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: A 10-year Update.

Acetabular bone loss continues to be one of the most complex and challenging scenarios facing the orthopaedic surgeon. Preoperative planning and classification systems essentially have remained the same, with the Paprosky classification still being the most commonly used. Careful radiological assessment with well-defined criteria can accurately diagnose acetabular bone loss patterns with an associated chronic pelvic discontinuity before surgery.

The Paraneural Sciatic Sheaths in Longitudinal Axis at the Level of Greater Trochanter: An Ultrasound Cadaveric and Clinical Correlation Study.

Background: Paraneural sheath engulfing the sciatic nerve (SN) between the ischial tuberosity and the greater trochanter is well known.

Methods: In order to explore the anatomical planes separating the paraneurium from the epineurium in SN, we conducted a cadaveric study (two patients and four specimens), followed by a clinical study in 10 patients.

Results: We demonstrated an elevation of 5-7 layers of paraneural tissues after an in-plane injection in the longitudinal axis of the proximal SN, which was possibly the last of the paraneural sheath.

Functional Outcome of Mechanical Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery: A Short-Term Cohort Study at an Indian Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background: In severe arthritis cases, goal of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) management is to attain pain-free joint and restore the overall limb alignment. There are limited short-term studies published from Indian hospitals that investigated the importance of neutral mechanical component alignment in TKA patients.

Methods: Retrospective and prospective study was conducted at the Department of orthopaedics, Sancheti Institute for Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Pune from June 2020 to September 2022.

Monitored epidural catheter placement-ultrasound-guided neurostimulation-aided thoracic catheter placement via caudal route for perioperative analgesia in neonatal thoracotomies: A technical feasibility study.

In this case series, we investigated the feasibility of combining ultrasound and neurostimulation for inserting a stimulating epidural catheter in the thoracic epidural space through the caudal route in neonates. Twelve neonates undergoing tracheo-oesophageal fistula repair under general anaesthesia were studied. The catheter was visible on ultrasound as a hyperechoic dot in the epidural space.

Cervical Schwannoma camouflaged by cervical intervertebral disc prolapse-A case report.

Introduction: Cervical prolapsed intervertebral disc is one of the common conditions causing cervical myeloradiculopathy. Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is the standard line of management for the same. Intradural neurogenic origin tumors are relatively rare and can present with features of myeloradiculopathy.

Labral Support Shelf Acetabuloplasty for Late Presenting Perthes Disease: Outcomes in Indian Patients.

Introduction: The treatment of late-presenting Perthes disease with extrusion is controversial and debatable. One of the options available is the labral shelf acetabuloplasty (LSA).

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of LSA in late-presenting Perthes disease in terms of clinic-radiological outcome measures.

"Critical pedicle wall" breaches analysis in complex spinal deformity using O-arm navigation.

Background: Free-hand and fluoroscopic-guided pedicle screw placement has been associated with higher rates of pedicle breaches (frequency range 15-40% especially in deformed pedicles). Neurological complications are more "critical" (i.e.

Osteoporosis - An Imminent Ethical and Legal Debacle?

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone density. Its prevalence is on the rise and is only going to continue to rise further. Fragility fractures such as neck of femur fracture fractures and intertrochanteric fractures are among the most common fractures encountered by orthopedic surgeons today.

Learning curve across 2000 thoracolumbar pedicle screw placements using O-arm navigation: technical difficulties and their solutions.

Introduction: Instrumentation using the intraoperative O-arm navigation technique appears safer than its predecessor techniques. However, only a handful of surgeons often used navigation during spinal surgeries. Too many operative glitches and unreliable navigation accuracy were the important reasons cited even by experienced surgeons for not using spinal navigation.

O-arm Navigated en bloc Excision of a Solitary Subaxial Cervical Osteochondroma Presenting as Myelo-radiculopathy: A Case Report.

Introduction: Vertebral osteochondroma is a rare entity. It presents with varied complaints ranging from palpable mass to myeloradiculopathy. En bloc excision is the gold standard treatment option for symptomatic patients.

Efficacy and Safety of Stempeucel in Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled Study.

Background: Osteoarthritis is a chronic, progressive, and degenerative condition with limited therapy options. Recently, biologic therapies have been an evolving option for the management of osteoarthritis.

Purpose: To assess whether allogenic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the potential to improve functional parameters and induce cartilage regeneration in patients with osteoarthritis.

Chronic Intramedullary Spinal Cord Abscess Mimicking Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumor-"Phantom Tumor": A Case Report.

Case: A 33-year-old woman with back pain and radiculopathy had presented with bilateral ankle weakness. MRI showed an intramedullary conus lesion suggestive of neoplasm, but posterior midline durotomy revealed only pus. Pus samples showed Staphylococcus aureus, which was treated with 6 weeks of antibiotics.
