Background: Vacuum assisted closure therapy (VAC) is a noninvasive, cost-effective alternative to surgical wound management. Indigenous negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems offer comparable clinical outcomes without financial constraints.
Materials And Methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted over 1 year at the Orthopedics department of RIMS, Ranchi.
Background: Acromioclavicular joint dislocations (ACJDs) are prevalent shoulder injuries that often lead to significant disability, necessitating surgical repair to regain joint stability and function. The evolution of surgical techniques and the development of various implants have introduced multiple treatment modalities, among which the hook plate (HP) and the endobutton (EB) have gained prominence. The HP and EB are prominent implants used for this purpose, each offering distinct advantages and potential complications.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of our study is to compare radiological and functional outcome and superiority over other in management of unstable intertrochanteric fracture by PFN and PFNA 2.
Background: Management of distal tibial fracture is challenging as it has precarious blood supply and its subcutaneous location. It is frequently complicated by contusion, infection, delayed union, and nonunion and may lead to revision surgeries. Distal tibial fracture needs a stable fixation with minimum damage to the soft tissues by the surgical dissection and implants.

- This study investigates the long-term results of two surgical treatments for acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) disruptions: double endobutton and clavicular hook plate, focusing on functional outcomes and complications in types III-VI injuries.
- A comprehensive meta-analysis included 14 cohort studies, 2 randomized trials, and 1 case-control study; results revealed the double endobutton group achieved better scores in Constant-Murley, Visual Analog Scale, and UCLA shoulder assessments, despite a higher incidence of implant failure.
- Ultimately, while the double endobutton offers superior functional outcomes with a reduced need for additional surgeries, it is associated with more implant failures, whereas the hook plate group showed increased complications such
Introduction: Anatomy teaching has traditionally been based on dissection. However, reduced hours in total and laboratory hours in gross anatomy along with a dearth of cadavers have ensued the search for a less time-consuming tool.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy in Sheikh Bhikhari Medical College, Hazaribag.
Article Synopsis
- Nonunion with bone loss in long bones poses significant challenges, historically leading to amputation as the preferred treatment; reconstruction methods like distraction osteogenesis and the induced membrane technique are now being explored.
- A study compared bone transport and induced membrane techniques in 24 patients with lower limb bone defects over 18 months, aiming to assess clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes.
- Results indicated that 67% of the bone transport group achieved union (58.3% excellent), while 75% of the induced membrane group achieved union (50% excellent), highlighting that both techniques are viable for managing large bone defects.
Morphological study of the menisci of the knee joint in human cadaver in Jharkhand population.

Introduction: Sports are the leading cause of joint injuries, particularly in the knees. Knee menisci are an important functional unit that aids in load distribution and hence reduces stress on the knee joint. Meniscal morphology provides information on exact size and shape, which is important for meniscal transplantation in cases of meniscal damage.

Methods And Materials: This prospective observational study was conducted for a period of 1 year (June 2018 to May 2019) at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand.
