Despite improvements in both non-operative and surgical therapy, distal tibia fractures are still a contentious topic. The goal of a distal tibia fracture is early functional recovery and realignment of the fracture and limb length.This research was carried out at the Jhalawar Medical College Hospital's Orthopaedics Department. Adult patients who met the inclusion criteria and had 15 occurrences of distal tibial fractures treated with a distal tibial medial locking plate. Patients were assessed clinically and radiologically with the relevant X-rays at each follow-up.At the ending of the follow-up period, patients were evaluated using the \"Ovadia and Beals\" scoring method, which incorporates both an objective and subjective assessment of the patients. An average of 18 weeks passed before all the fractures healed. One delayed union had a radiological callus development indication that was present for 22 weeks. Six patients (40%) with fractures healed in 16 weeks, six patients (40%) with fractures healed in 18 weeks, two patients (13%) with fractures healed in 20 weeks, and one patient (7%) with fractures healed in 22 weeks. In this study, 60% of the patients (9 patients) had outstanding outcomes, while 13% of the patients (2 patients) had poor results based on objective criteria, and 54% of the patients (8 patients) had excellent results, but 13% of the patients (2 patients) had terrible results based on subjective criteria.Through the use of locking compression plates and MIPPO methods, the distal tibia fractures have obtained close reduction. These fractures have been successfully stabilised as a result of this approach. It does allow for early mobility and offers sufficient stability. Because it makes it easier to preserve the blood supply to the fragment and anatomically reduce the fracture, the close reduction aids in quick union.","PeriodicalId":407871,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132331127","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}

A total of 65 files of elderly hip fracture operated patients were assessed and out of them responses from 53 patients collected through telephonic conversation over a period of 3 weeks. The responses received from the patient and their attendants were evaluated using the EQ-5D quality of life tool and their challenges noted. The most common fractures reported in the elderly are at the wrist, spine and hip. Hip fractures in elderly generally occur after a simple fall. If timely medical attention is not provided or appropriate care not taken the future of the patient after a hip fracture is certain – a dramatic reduction in the quality of life and possibly the beginning of the end of life. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of elderly patients with hip fracture following surgery and the challenges they experienced after discharge from the hospital. A total of 53 patients were selected for the study who underwent hip surgery at Indian Spinal Injuries Centre. This is a descriptive study carried over a period of 13 months from August 2019 to August 2020. EQ-5D is used to characterize current health status of the patients. It consists of five domains and a visual analogue score. Feedback was collected from the patients and their attendants over telephone with a minimum follow up of 3 months. VAS score was calculated for every patient individually. Collected data was entered in MS Excel sheet. Challenges faced by the patients and their caregivers were documented. Out of 53 patients, 12 had died (22.6%), 07 patients responded themselves to the call and 34 calls were responded by the care givers. Most of the patients had intertrochanteric fractures 56.6% (30 patients) followed by neck femur fracture 24.5% (13 patients). On average every patient was suffering from a minimum of two comorbidities. The average length of hospitalization was 6.8 days. : This study suggests that integrated care involving geriatricians in pre-operative optimization of the patient should come in immediate practice. The role of post-surgery rehabilitation is invaluable but often an underestimated modality. The concerns of the patients and their family members regarding home care after discharge are genuine and need to be addressed. Information sharing is the key to reducing anxiety. Consideration for a cost-effective step-down facility must be considered by private institutes and government authorities.","PeriodicalId":407871,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery","volume":"11 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113989439","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 common orthopaedic problems related to bone fragility include frequent multiple bone fractures, progressive deformity of long bones leading to impaired ambulation. Surgical correction of long bone deformities in OI is conventionally done using distraction osteogenesis (illizarov fixator), elastic intramedullary nailing, rigid extramedullary fixation using plates, after osteotomy. Intramedullary fixation appears to be an ideal choice for correction of recurrent deformity in the long bone and the devices used previously include telescoping rods, single or dual non-elongating nails (rush nail, TENS). Recently in a case report of 3 individual patients, a humerus nail has been used to reconstruct femur in adolescents with OI.

A prospective study in 59 patients of tibial shaft fractures with 33 having fibula fracture (FF) and 26 patients with an intact fibula(IF) were treated by closed intramedullary interlocking nail between June 2019 to July 2020.

Bilateral presentation is frequently seen and males are more commonly affected. Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most successful surgical procedures for AVN. THR is a time tested surgery giving good outcome in terms of relieving pain, restoring function & improving quality of life in patients of AVN. The purpose of the study was to analyse the outcome of bilateral THR & comparing the outcome of one stage THR with Two stage THR. In this study, 40 patients with AVN of bilateral femoral head who were presented in the Department of Orthopaedics, Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal from April 2016 to April 2020 who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. THR of all the patients was done on elective basis by senior surgeons of the department. All patients were followed up clinically and radiologically for a period of 6 months after the surgery. Any complications if present were also noted. This study concludes that in patients of AVN of bilateral femoral head, THR gives excellent functional outcome with early walking & early return to work. As compared to Two stage bilateral THR, One stage bilateral THR has advantage of less blood loss, less need of parenteral analgesics & antibiotics & less hospital stay. However, there is no significant advantage in terms of functional outcome, walking capability & return to work.","PeriodicalId":407871,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124588515","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}
