        • A prospective study of two methods of analgesia in shoulder arthroscopic procedures as day case surgery
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
          • Preview
            The recent advances in anaesthesia and analgesia have significantly improved the early recovery and effective post-operative pain control in day care surgery e.g. shoulder arthroscopic procedures. Adequate analgesia improves the early rehabilitation for a better outcome. We prospectively evaluated the post-operative pain relief following the two methods of analgesia i.e. regional Inter-scalene block (ISB) vs Intra-articular (IA) injection using 0.5% Chirocaine in various therapeutic arthroscopic shoulder procedures.

        • Can IL-6 predict the development of fat embolism in polytrauma? A rabbit model pilot experimental study
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
          • Preview
            There are few studies in the literature that correlates the level of IL-6 with fat embolism syndrome (FES). But there is no conclusive correlative evidence of its specific relation to the establishment of FES. Also it is a proven fact that polytrauma due to its associated multiple long bone fracture and/or associated shock can predispose an individual to FES. By hypothesizing that polytrauma induces Fat Embolism in the animal; it was considered worthwhile to study the association of IL-6 in polytrauma induced Fat Embolism (FE) and to compare it with induced FE by injecting fatty acids in rabbits.

        • Minimising aerosol generation during orthopaedic surgical procedures- Current practice to protect theatre staff during Covid-19 pandemic
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 3
          • Preview
            Covid-19 pandemic is the largest health care crisis of this century. A large number of health care workers have succumbed to this virus. Orthopaedic trauma surgery has changed during the pandemic, by generally treating more patients conservatively. Emergency Orthopaedic surgeries and fracture neck of femur patients still need to be treated operatively for a better outcome. Our paper aims to give an insight into our current practice to minimise aerosol generation during these procedures, thereby reducing the risk of infection to the surgical and anaesthetic team.

          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 10Issue 1
          • Preview
            Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of chronic disability in adults due to pain and altered joint function. Although most patients report pain and functional limitation, symptoms, age of onset and disease progression are extremely variable. While inflammation could play a central role in the OA pathogenesis and progression, many underpinning mechanisms are still unclear. A number of proinflammatory mediators have been found in OA joints and could play a role, such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, TNF-alpha, macrophage chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, interferon-induced protein (IP)-10, monokine induced by interferon (MIG), oncostatin M (OSM), growth-related oncogene (GRO)-alpha, chemokine (C-C-motif) ligand 19 (CCL19), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1beta, and TGF-alpha.

          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 10Issue 4
          • Preview
            The risk of fracture from a non-accidental injury is highest in the infant age group. A spiral fracture of the long bone can occur equally from accidental and non-accidental causes, meaning the clinical judgement of non-accidental injury in an infant is particularly challenging. This study aimed to assist in differentiating accidental, from non-accidental, injury in infants, by establishing whether correlation exists between geometry and torsional strength in the immature long bone.

          • Preview
            Giant cell tumors of bone are relatively rare in the axial skeleton, accounting for approximately 6.7% of all cases. Due to their anatomical complexity, difficult access and proximity to vital neurovascular structures, management of these tumors poses a huge challenge on the treating surgeon. Several data series reported on axial GCTB involve short series of limited cases with varied methods used in their local control due to which, proper guidelines are unavailable for the management of such difficult cases.

        • Tip-apex distance and other predictors of outcome in cephalomedullary nailing of unstable trochanteric fractures
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 10
          • Preview
            Cephalomedullary nails are presently the gold standard in management of unstable trochanteric fractures. The tip-apex distance (TAD) is one of the most important factors that determines success or failure of fixation, but was described originally in context of an extramedullary hip screw. Cephalomedullary nails use a different biomechanical approach to fixation; and it is hypothesized that the TAD rule may not apply similarly with these. The aim of this study is to assess whether a high TAD correlates with poor outcomes with cephalomedullary nails, and to elucidate other factors that may predict such outcome.

          • Preview
            Sever's disease is a common cause of heel pain in young children and it has a self-limiting course without long term complications. Osteomyelitis of calcaneus is a sinister condition which can lead to serious complication if treatment is delayed. Indolent nature of calcaneus osteomyelitis leads to overlap in its clinical picture with Sever's disease. Two cases of Sever's disease which were later diagnosed and managed for osteomyelitis are reported. Salient differentiating features of Sever's disease and calcaneus osteomyelitis along with management strategy are discussed.

          • Preview
            Crush injuries of the hand involve damage to multiple structures within the hand, loss of tissue, devascularisation and possibly amputation of digits. They are complex and difficult to classify. Each injury has a unique pattern and requires a unique plan of management. There are no set procedures that can be described, however fundamental principles can be laid down to guide surgical management. Optimum management requires a planned and decisive approach. The surgeon or the team must be well versed with techniques necessary for management of all the structures within the hand, microsurgery and free tissue transfer.

            Fibroma of tendon sheaths (FTS) is an uncommon soft tissue tumour which arises from the synovial sheath of tendons. We report a histologically proven case with intrarticular ‘fibroma of tendon sheath’ originating from the joint capsule of the knee, an even rarer entity, in a middle-aged female presenting with knee pain, swelling with limited range of motion. MRI and arthroscopy studies revealed an intra-articular mass originating from the synovial membrane with lobulated contours. Open excision was performed because of the large size of the mass, making it inaccessible arthroscopically.

          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 3
          • Preview
            Calcaneus malunion is a common sequela to calcaneal fractures and is a cause of pain and discomfort. Multiple approaches have been described to address the subtalar joint and the lateral wall. Type 2 malunion is the most commonly encountered problem, and is usually addressed by the sinus tarsi approach. This has some limitations, as exposure for lateral wall excision beneath the peroneal tendons maybe a problem. We have slightly modified the sinus tarsi approach by a more horizontal skin incision, which may even be extended proximally by 1–2 cm; this allows access to the lateral wall on either side of the peroneal tendons.

            Musculoskeletal tumours pose considerable challenges for the orthopaedic surgeon during pre-operative planning, resection and reconstruction. Improvements in imaging technology have improved the diagnostic process of these tumours. Despite this, studies have highlighted the difficulties in achieving consistent resection free margins especially in tumours of the pelvis and spine when using conventional methods. Three-dimensional technology – three-dimensional printing and navigation technology – while relatively new, may have the potential to prove useful in the musculoskeletal tumour surgeon's arsenal.

          • Preview
            Implant removal comprises 5% of all orthopaedic surgery procedures performed annually. Surgical indications range from implant failure, infection, non-union, and symptomatic hardware. Intra-operatively, surgeons need to prepare for complications including bony overgrowth, cold-welding, broken screws, and stripped screw heads. Large anatomic dissections required for complete hardware removal place the patient at increased risk of complications due to increased operating time and larger dissections.

          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 3
          • Preview
            Unstable ankle fractures are common, and majority requires open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). There is emerging evidence that the rate of malreduction has remained high despite advances in surgical techniques and implants. Malreduced ankle is a prominent cause of post-traumatic ankle arthritis leading to poor patient reported outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of anatomical reduction and surgical fixation of ankle fractures and the impact of simple education intervention on the quality of reduction of these fractures.

          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 10Issue 1
          • Preview
            Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative process that slowly destroys the joints producing pain and loss of function, and diminishes the quality of life. Current treatments alleviate this symptomatology but do not stop the disease, being total knee arthroplasty the only definitive solution. Among the emerging treatments, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has shown promising results in the treatment of OA. However, to improve its effectiveness, it is necessary to approach this pathology targeting the whole joint, not only the cartilage, but including other tissues such as subchondral bone.

          • Preview
            Patients with musculoskeletal complaints have either been ignored or advised investigations far beyond their means or comfort. Focusing attention only on spine and head restricted the evaluation in cases of trauma and were followed up only if the injuries were life threatening. In the same vein, the extremities often got overlooked or at best were evaluated only by plain radiographs. Soft tissue injuries were therefore often missed and not only raised the morbidity in the patient but also dissatisfaction towards the treating physician.

            Glenoid bone loss is a well established cause of instability and long term morbidity if not adequadely addressed. Anterior glenohumeral instability due an anterior glenoid defect is significantly more common, and for many years has been well treated with open anterior bone block augmentation procedures, most commonly the latarjet procedure. However, with refinement of this technique and some interest in reducing morbidity associated with iliac crest bone harvest, arthroscopic bone block procedures with allograft has become more popular.

            Long bone fractures are a common injury in the pediatric population. Differentiation between abusive, or non-accidental trauma, and accidental trauma in children remains challenging for forensic practitioners. A recent clinical-based study was able to separate pediatric abusive from accidental trauma based on femoral fracture pattern using the ratio of fracture length over bone diameter (fracture ratio), as determined from radiographic analysis of this fractured bone. The forensic literature indicates more cases of abuse in younger pediatric victims than accidental cases.

            Prolotherapy injections are becoming increasingly popular as a non-surgical treatment option for many chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Proposed benefits include reduced pain, reduced joint laxity and increased tendon strength. While a number of studies report that prolotherapy reduces pain and increases function for many conditions, the academic evidence remains extremely weak. Here, we discuss a case of a complex intra-articular knee infection in a young, previously healthy, female following prolotherapy injections for management of a partial-thickness anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.

          • Preview
            Defect in the lateral malleolus along with lateral ligamentous injury of ankle is rare. It occurs mainly due to resection of distal fibula tumors and severe trauma leading to loss of lateral malleolus. Lateral malleoli has the major contribution in weight transmission to foot and ankle stability. To avoid persistent pain and gait abnormality due to ankle instability, reconstruction of bony defect is inevitable. Methods to address these defects are iliac crest bone grafting, vascular and nonvascular proximal fibula transfer, patella tendon bone graft and allograft.
