Open reduction and plating constitute a popular method that can result in good fixation and retention of the achieved position. The usual approach for open plating is anterior. Although it offers good exposure to the tibia, the medial plating is at high risk of wound problems and nonunions. Also, if fixation of the fibula is required, an additional incision must be made on the lateral side of the shin. Lateral plating using a single lateral approach for treating distal tibial and fibular fractures has been reported to have good results; however, most of these studies were small series. Materials and Methods: This prospective clinical study involved 40 patients with distal tibial fractures admitted in Department of Orthopaedics, RNT Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, from December 2021 to November 2022. Of these, 20 patients were allotted in each group, that is, Group A and Group B. Group A is designated for patients those are operated with distal tibia medial locking compression plate (LCP). Group B is designated for patients those are operated with distal tibia anterolateral LCP. Results: All patients achieved union at the end of study. The mean time for fracture union was 24.6 weeks with medial plating group and 24.2 weeks with anterolateral plating group. In medial plating group, callus appeared at an average of 13 weeks and in anterolateral plating group, callus appeared at 12 weeks. Out of 20 patients in medial plating group, 11 patients had excellent Olerud and Molander ankle (OMAS) score and nine had good OMAS score at final follow-up. Out of 20 patients in anterolateral plating group, 13 patients had excellent OMAS score and seven patients had good OMAS score. The average OMAS score for Group A was 88.5 and for Group B, it was 90. Conclusion: Lateral plating of distal tibia is safe and feasible, which can provide biological fixation and prevent the soft tissue complications associated with medial plating.","PeriodicalId":232675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases","volume":"41 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113975919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This fracture pattern generally occurs in high-velocity road traffic accidents and is associated with injuries around distal femur, proximal tibia, patella, or extensor mechanism at the knee joint. Due to extensive associated injury patterns, definitive surgical management often varies. This is a case of conjoint bicondylar Hoffa’s fracture with associated comminuted supracondylar fracture of femur. A 40-year-old male presented to the emergency room after sustaining injury to his right knee, previously ambulating on a malunited tibia. Radiographic examination demonstrated conjoint bicondylar Hoffa’s fracture with associated supracondylar fracture right distal femur. Open reduction and internal fixation was done using two T-plates fixed with screws. Due to malunited tibial and fibular fracture with intra-articular extension of the implant, the patient had a decreased range of motion (ROM) up to 120° preoperatively. Early physiotherapy was emphasized, and postoperatively similar ROM was achieved. Conjoint bicondylar Hoffa’s fracture is a rare fracture pattern, which can be associated with a supracondylar fracture of the femur. For this combined fracture fixation, open reduction internal fixation with two T-plates and screws offers a viable treatment option. The patient achieved complete preoperative ROM.","PeriodicalId":232675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124353167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two syndromes associated with TPT are triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly syndrome (TPTPS) and tibial hemimelia-polysyndactyly-triphalangeal thumb syndrome (THPTTS). Hypoplasia or aplasia of tibia is the primary difference between them. Although having many common clinical features, TPTPS and THPTTS are considered two different entities. Here, we report a rare situation of these two conditions occurring in the same family: a mother with TPTPS and her son with THPTTS. A 4-month-old male child presented to outpatient clinic with complaints of 2.5 cm shortening and clubfoot present on the right side. The child had five-fingered hands without thumbs or thenar muscles along with preaxial polydactyly with seven toes in the left foot and six toes in the right foot. Radiographic examination revealed hypoplasia of the right tibia (tibial hemimelia) with thickened and superolaterally displaced fibula. While applying cast for club foot to the child, his mother’s hands came into notice. The lady was 26 years old, born to nonconsanguineous parents, with no similar history in parents or siblings. Clinical examination of hands revealed TPTs in both hands. She had no difficulty in her activities of daily living. Her legs appeared normal. Her feet were normal except for the duplicated right great toe with fused nails and duplicated left great toe floating separately. TPTs, polydactyly of hands, and feet along with syndactyly of digits are cardinal findings seen in both TPTPS and THPTTS. Both can also be traced to 7q36. The presence of a tibial defect seems to be the only difference between the two disorders. In this case report, we highlight the occurrence of two seemingly different clinical entities within the same family, suggesting the possibility of an overlying common entity with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations.","PeriodicalId":232675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121572767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical efficacy and safety of PFNA and DHS in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients and found that compared with the control group (DHS), the observation group (PFNA) experienced shorter operation time and fracture healing time and less intraoperative blood loss, and suffered a shorter incision. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes and related complications between DHS and PFNA in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture. Methodology: Total of 60 patients having unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture were included in this study and was equally divided into two groups. Group-P included patients with unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture managed by PFN-A II while Group-D patients managed by DHS. The result was analysed using descriptive statistics and making comparisons among various groups. Categorial data were summarized as in proportions and percentage (%) while discrete as mean ± SD. Results: At final follow-up; it was found that 72.4% of the cases of PFNA have achieved excellent union as compared to 44.4% for DHS group, 24.1% cases of PFNA have good union as compared to 51.9% in DHS group and the difference of mean DHS was significantly higher for PFNA group (p=0.001). Conclusion: PFNA-II have benefits like minimally invasive procedure, less soft tissue dissection, less amount of blood loss and provides better result in terms of union. Therefore PFNA-II is recommended as a better choice as compared to DHS in management of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in terms of functional outcome.","PeriodicalId":232675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125690353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
