The aim of treatment is eradication of infection and restoration of function of the limb with surgical management being the cornerstone of treatment. Despite the need of surgical debridement in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis, the reliable radiological and tissue diagnosis along with appropriate antimicrobial therapy is paramount for the success of treatment. Biofilm forms the most notorious reason for persistence of infection in a bone and needs thorough debridement till only viable tissue is left behind. Control of chronic osteomyelitis is challenging for the surgeons even today and demands patience from both the surgeon and the patient. Here, we are going to report an unusual case of osteomyelitis in a 4 year of male child.","PeriodicalId":317392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":"93 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":"129066541","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}

It is a complex deformity that is hard to correct, and the management is arguable and continues to be one of the significant challenges in pediatric orthopedics. It is believed that the initial treatment should be nonsurgical, which is started soon after birth within the first 2 weeks of life. We aimed to assess the efficacy of Ponseti’s technique for the treatment of CTEV in our institute for 6 years. Materials and Methods: One hundred eighty patients between 2 weeks and 12 years of age who had attended the CTEV clinic of the Department of Orthopaedics of our medical college in the last 6 years, until December 2020, were taken for the study to correct idiopathic CTEV using the Ponseti technique. Children included in the study were assessed every week before cast placement for the severity of the deformity using the Pirani scoring system. Once a week, manipulation and serial casting of the CTEV foot were started by the technique described by Ponseti. Patients were followed up at weekly intervals until forefoot and midfoot deformities were corrected. Percutaneous Achilles tenotomy was done to prevent rocker-bottom deformity and for correcting Equinus deformity after correction of other deformities. All patients were maintained on foot abduction brace after correction until 4 years of age or more. Results: At 6-month follow-up, Ponseti’s technique gave us 84.8% excellent results, 13.1% good results, and 2.1% poor results. A total of 86.6% required percutaneous tenotomy, whereas 13.4% did not require tenotomy. Conclusion: The Ponseti technique is still a safe, economical, and convenient treatment modality for CTEV, which gives successful results, and thus radically decreases the need for extensive corrective surgery even in older children.","PeriodicalId":317392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":"16 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":"134348649","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}

Usually, these patients complain of varying degrees of pain, swelling, and discomfort in and around the deltoid tuberosity region of the humerus. The radiological findings of these patients are characterized by relative cortical lucency in and around the deltoid tuberosity of humerus, cortical irregularity, and adjacent eccentric marrow abnormality in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Most probably, these are previously less-reported anatomical variations of the deltoid tuberosity region of the humerus. Advanced imaging studies and extended follow-up suggest that this clinical entity has got an indolent process, which can be managed conservatively.

Materials and Methods: Ninety-six patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) knee were enrolled in the trial after being fully informed about it and receiving their agreement. The study involved 96 patients, 48 of whom had ACL tears and the remaining 48 did not. Results: Out of 96 patients, 62 (65%) patients had visible ALL on their MRI image. Visualization on MRI is that out of 62 patients, 52 (84%) were male, and 10 (16%) were female. Of 62 individuals who had visible ALL, 23 (37%) suffered an ACL injury, and the remaining 39 (61%) patients did not. Conclusion: Our investigation provided radiological proof of the ALL’s existence. Additionally, we discovered that the presence of ALL was strongly linked to meniscal and ACL tears. It is necessary to standardize anatomic nomenclature because variations in the definition of the anatomic description of ALL have caused variations in the incidence of ALL reported in research.","PeriodicalId":317392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":"2000 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":"125736286","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}

The timely intervention of such infections is of utmost importance as delay in initiation of treatment may lead to irreversible joint damage and limb deformity also. The purpose of this study was not only to find out the sequelae of osteoarticular infections of infants and neonates due to delay in initiation of a definitive treatment but also to propose their management. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted after approval by the institutional review board. All neonates and infants with sequelae of osteoarticular infection due to delay in initiation of treatment from June 2019 to May 2021 were included in this study. Data for each patient were collected using the Hosp Gestor program. Various sequelae of osteoarticular infection were noted and then rehabilitative surgical management was done. Results: Out of 40 neonates and infants who got a delay in initiation of their treatment of osteoarticular infection, 31 (77%) came out with sequelae of osteoarticular infection. There was male predominance in this study. Sequelae were more due to osteoarticular infection of septic arthritis (53%) as compared with osteomyelitis (43%). Hip joint was found to be affected more. All patients were treated for their sequelae with rehabilitative operations. Among rehabilitative operations, hip reconstructive surgery was the most common procedure. The greater the delay in initiation of treatment in the acute stage, the more severe the sequelae. Conclusion: Early detection and institutional visit resulted in good outcomes. This study proves the truth behind the fact that delay in diagnosis and initiation of definitive treatment causes more complications and sequelae. This study also serves as a clinical guide to identify risk factors, awareness about early detection, and effective institutional treatment of osteoarticular infections in infants and neonates.","PeriodicalId":317392,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":"1 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":"130930394","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}
