        • Orthopaedic resident management during the COVID-19 pandemic – AIIMS model
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
          • Preview
            The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a tremendous impact on various health sectors including residency training programs. The suspension of non-essential health services at many hospitals has led to an increase in the workload for residents in emergency department while there was a sharp decline in the workload of residents in departments like Orthopaedics. In this brief report, we discuss the strategy employed at our institution to effectively redistribute our residents to manage the pandemic, and the measures taken to promote resident training and welfare.

        • Innovative regenerative medicine in the management of knee OA: The role of Autologous Protein Solution
          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.

        • Guidelines for management of crush injuries of the hand
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 4
          • 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.

        • Peeled off water chestnut in the knee
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 10Issue 6
          • Preview
            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.

        • The evolution of three-dimensional technology in musculoskeletal oncology
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 9Issue 3
          • Preview
            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.

        • Audit changes practice-a simple education intervention can lead to better outcome in ankle fracture surgery
          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.

        • Comparative study of existing knee prosthesis with anthropometry of Indian patients and other races, a computer tomography 3D reconstruction-based study
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
          • Preview
            Background: Appropriate component sizing plays an important role in determining the functional outcome following total knee arthroplasty. Comparative studies of different populations have shown significant differences in the anthropometric parameters of knees in different race groups which negates the possibility of using a single sized implant system across different ethnic groups. This study evaluates the dimensions of femoral and tibial articular surfaces of Indian patients and compares the parameters with other ethnic groups and correlates the dimensions with five different commercially available knee systems.

            Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported to the World Health Organisation (WHO) on New Year’s Eve 2019 in Wuhan, China. Thought to be linked to food markets, the virus quickly spread throughout the country and subsequently to most of the world. By April 2020 there were one million confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection worldwide.1

        • Ankle stability in ankle fracture
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 3
          • Preview
            Restoration of normal ankle kinematics should be the all-encompassing ethos in the approach to management of ankle fractures. To do this, the ligamentous stabilisers must also form part of its assessment and definitive management and be considered during index fracture fixation surgery. This article is a review of the anatomy, mechanics and clinical testing of instability in ankle fractures.

        • A novel technique of ulna strut grafting for post-septic radial clubhand deformity: Case series of 4 patients with review of literature
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
          • Preview
            Though distal end radius fractures are one of the commonest fractures to occur, their nonunions are extremely uncommon. Out of these, post-septic defect nonunions with acquired radial clubhand deformity are even more rare and pose unique problems in management. We present a case series of 4 patients of post-septic radius nonunion with acquired radial clubhand deformity successfully treated with a novel technique of using Ulna Strut grafting for radius defect after ulnar shortening. All 4 patients have a good functional and cosmetic outcomes with radiological union at the cost of minimal limb length discrepancy of the forearm.

        • Modic changes - An evidence-based, narrative review on its patho-physiology, clinical significance and role in chronic low back pain
          Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 5
          • Preview
            Lumbar degenerative spinal ailments are the most important causes for chronic low back pain. Modic changes (MC) are vertebral bone marrow signal intensity changes seen on MRI, commonly in association with degenerative disc disease (DDD). Despite being widely studied, majority of issues concerning MC are still controversial. The current narrative, evidence-based review comprehensively discusses the various aspects related to MC.
