- Annotation: The COVID-19 pandemic and clinical orthopaedic and trauma surgeryJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 3
- PreviewThis article provides a brief overview of the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis and the impact on trauma and orthopaedic surgeons. The principles of protect, avoid, restrict and abbreviate are recommended. Coordination of response, communication and support are also important. The versatility of orthopaedic surgeons lends them to having an important role.

- Techniques of cervical pedicle screw insertion in lower cervical spine - A reviewJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11Issue 5
- PreviewCervical pedicle screws (CPS) have been used for stabilization of lower cervical spine since its first description by Abumi et al., in 1994, but the usage has been limited due to the feared complications. Cadaveric studies have discouraged use of CPS in lower cervical spine due to high misplacement rates. On the contrary, clinical studies have shown limited complications due to screw misplacements and have highlighted the benefits of CPS with its superior biomechanical strength. Therefore surgeons have always tried to find a reliable, reproducible and safe CPS insertion technique to expand the usage of CPS with minimal complications.

- PreviewThe posterior compartment of the thigh is composed of three major muscles collectively known as the hamstring muscles. These consist of the biceps femoris short and long head, semimembranosus and semitendinosus. Excluding the short head of biceps femoris, the hamstrings contribute to the movement of the hip and the knee joints as they span across both joints. Our hypothesis is that the nature of the conjoint tendon -ischial angle predisposes to an increased risk of tearing in this hamstring component.

- Orthopaedic resident management during the COVID-19 pandemic – AIIMS modelJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
- PreviewThe 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.

- PreviewInternet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an innovative mean of amalgamating medical devices and their applications to connect with the healthcare information technology systems by using networking technologies. We have explored the possibilities of confronting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by implementing the IoMT approach while offering treatment to orthopaedic patients. The data sharing, report monitoring, patients tracking, information gathering and analysis, hygiene medical care, etc. are the various cloud and connected network-based services of IoMT.

- Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Therapy (LIPUS): A review of evidence and potential applications in diabeticsJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
- PreviewLow Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Therapy (LIPUS) is a non-invasive treatment and aims to reduce fracture healing time and avoid non-union by delivering micro-mechanical stress to the bone to stimulate bone healing. In 2018, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended that the evidence for LIPUS to promote healing of delayed-union and non-union fractures raised no major safety concerns, but the current evidence on efficacy is inadequate in quality. Little is known about the potential benefits of LIPUS for fracture healing in diabetic patients.

- Management of chronic quadriceps rupture with novel “chariot suture technique”: A case report and reviewJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 14
- PreviewQuadriceps tendon is one of the important segment of knee extensor mechanism. Acute ruptures are more common than chronic ruptures and have better outcomes. Chronic ruptures are rare with lot of surgical challenges including tendon retraction, fibrosis, degenerative calcification. We present a rare case of a 48 year old male diabetic patient with history of fall eight months ago and chief complaint of inability to actively extend his left knee. Diagnosis was made clinically and was confirmed radiologically with MRI.

- Intra-operative referencing technique is non-inferior to use of fluoroscopy for acetabular component positioning in anterior hip arthroplastyJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 15
- PreviewIntra-operative fluoroscopy has been shown to improve the accuracy of acetabular component positioning when compared to no fluoroscopy in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). Due to logistical reasons, our senior author has been performing DAA THA at one institution without the use of fluoroscopy and has created an intraoperative referencing technique to aid in acetabular component positioning. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of acetabular component positioning using fluoroscopy when compared to an intra-operative referencing technique without fluoroscopy.

- Outcome of limb reconstruction system in tibial infected non-union and open tibial diaphysial fracture with bone lossJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 15
- PreviewIncidence of open fractures of the long bones is increasing due to the increase in road traffic accidents (RTA) which leads to an increased incidence of complex non-unions of long bones. Patients are usually operated many times for fracture fixation (and healing) or to eradicate infection, which causes soft tissue scarring and devitalization of any surviving bone.

- Coccydynia-A comprehensive review on etiology, radiological features and management optionsJournal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 12Issue 1
- PreviewCoccydynia is a disabling condition characterized by pain in the coccyx region of the spine. The first description of the disease was given in as early as 1859. Since then a number of theories have been proposed by various researchers to explain the pathogenesis of the disease. Treatment options for coccydynia include ergonomic adaptation, manual therapy, injections and surgery. Despite being identified as a disease as early as 18th century, several uncertainties with respect to the origin of pain, predisposing factors and treatment outcomes of a wide range of treatment options persist till date.

- PreviewAs the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to stay for a longer time, educational activities including residency training have gradually resumed with the aid of virtual tools. In addition to continuing the residency education during COVID-19, it is also important to conduct their examination so that the graduations of final year residents are not delayed. The conventional exam pattern involved clinical case presentations and required resident interaction with a number of patients.

- What is there in the scoring and rating of journals?Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics & TraumaVol. 11
- PreviewMedical and associated speciality journals aim to disseminate area-specific knowledge, discoveries, experiences, cases and substantiate or negate the previously published pieces of information. These Journals are considered essential for doctors, researchers, and scientists to disseminate work, research, and experiences with the rest of the world. However, it is often quite challenging to choose an appropriate journal to submit work for possible publication. Researchers attempt to choose the most appropriate platform to highlight their research work so that their work gets published in good order, read, and referred.

- PreviewManagement of acetabular fractures in elderly patients is challenging. The challenges arise due to associated medical comorbidities, poor bone quality and comminution. There are multiple modalities of treatment. the exact algorithms or treatment remain undefined. Treatment is still based on experience and some available evidence. The options include conservative treatment, percutaneous fixation, open reduction internal fixation and the acute fix and replace procedure. There is a well recognised risk of each treatment option.
