The impact of ChatGPT on orthopedic residents' scientific writing: A quasi-experimental study.

Background: Scientific writing is essential for orthopedic residents, enabling academic contributions and evidence-based practice. However, challenges such as time constraints, lack of training, and language barriers hinder their writing. AI-based tools like ChatGPT offer potential solutions to improve writing efficiency and quality.

Effectiveness of structured review instrument in journal club meeting during orthopaedic residency: A prospective interventional study.

Background: Journal Club (JC) meetings are a traditional and effective method of teaching evidence-based medicine in many orthopaedic residency programs. The key objectives are to develop critical appraisal skills, facilitate the application of evidence in clinical practice, and foster a lifelong habit of staying updated with current literature. A structured checklist may help ensure these objectives are met consistently.

Synovial Chondromatosis of the Knee Joint: Management With Arthroscopy-Assisted "Sac of Pebbles" Extraction and Synovectomy.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign condition characterized by the formation of intra-articular cartilaginous loose bodies, which arise as a result of synovial membrane metaplasia. Due to pain, edema, and joint dysfunction, synovial chondromatosis can result in severe morbidity even though it is a self-limiting condition. In order to avoid problems, such as joint degeneration, early diagnosis and treatment is essential.

Efficacy of Intraoperative Platelet-Rich Plasma After Meniscal Repair: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Meniscal injuries frequently require surgical intervention to restore knee joint function and stability. Intraoperative platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection has emerged as a potential adjunctive therapy to enhance tissue healing post-meniscal repair. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PRP in terms of pain relief, functional recovery, and overall success rates in patients undergoing meniscal repair procedures

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was employed to identify relevant studies across Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases.

A Systematic Review and Qualitative Analysis of Studies Performing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in Tuberculosis (TB) of the Knee.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread global disease that significantly impacts daily life. Skeletal TB comprises about 10-35% of all TB cases. Significant research on the spine and hip exists, but due to the rarity of cases, the management of TB is less explored.

Role and relevance of risk stratification models in the modern-day management of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes.

We summarise the international guidelines surrounding risk stratification as well as discuss new emerging data for future development of a new risk model in the management of patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). NSTE-ACS accounts for the bulk of acute coronary syndrome presentations in the UK, but management strategies in this group of patients have remained a subject of debate for decades. Patients with NSTE-ACS represent a heterogeneous population with a wide variation in short-term and long-term clinical outcomes, which makes a uniform, standardised treatment approach ineffective and inappropriate.

Impact Response and Damage Tolerance of Hybrid Glass/Kevlar-Fibre Epoxy Structural Composites.

The present study is aimed at investigating the effect of hybridisation on Kevlar/E-Glass based epoxy composite laminate structures. Composites with 3 mm thickness and 16 layers of fibre (14 layers of E-glass centred and 2 outer layers of Kevlar) were fabricated using compression moulding technique. The fibre orientation of the Kevlar layers had 3 variations (0, 45 and 60°), whereas the E-glass fibre layers were maintained at 0° orientation.

Minimally invasive total knee replacement: techniques and results.

In this review, we outlined the definition of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in total knee replacement (TKR) and described the different surgical approaches reported in the literature. Afterwards, we went through the most recent studies assessing MIS TKR. Next, we searched for potential limitations of MIS knee replacement and tried to answer the following questions: Are there selective criteria and specific patient selection for MIS knee surgery? If there are, then what are they? After all, a discussion and conclusion completed this article.

Treatment of Non Unions of Subtrochanteric Fractures Using an Anatomical Proximal Femur Locked Compression Plate - A Prospective Study of 13 Patients.

Introduction: Subtrochanteric fractures have a bimodal age distribution. They are mostly due to high violence trauma in the younger age group. They almost always require open reduction and internal fixation.

Outcome Analysis following Operative Skeletal Stabilization in Established Non Unions of Malleolar Fractures - A Series of 11 Cases.

Introduction: Established non-unions pose a real nightmare for even the most accomplished surgeon. The variations in anatomy due to extensive fibrous tissue growth, soft tissue contractures around the fracture site and bony alterations like smoothening and sclerosis of the fracture ends must each be addressed as a whole if good outcome is to be expected.

Case Series: Here we present a series of 11 patients who had bimalleolar fracture of the ankle following which they had native splinting.

Traumatic Hip Dislocation in A Child Younger Than 3 Years- A rare Case Report And Review of Literature.

Introduction: Hip dislocation in a child less than 3 years is a very rare event. Only a few case reports have been documented in Western literature. It is rarely reported from Indian population.

Custom-made endoprosthetic total humerus reconstruction for musculoskeletal tumours.

Purpose: We analysed 11 patients with malignant musculoskeletal tumours of the humerus who underwent limb salvage surgery with total humeral custom endoprosthesis from 1990 to 2009.

Methods: There were six male and five female patients, with a mean age of 17 years. The most common diagnosis was osteosarcoma.

Endoprosthetic reconstruction using total femoral custom mega prosthesis in malignant bone tumours.

We analysed 17 patients with primary malignant bone tumour of the femur who underwent limb salvage surgery with the total femoral custom mega prosthesis during the period 1994-2008. The patients were in the age group of 12-73 years, with a mean age of 30.94 years.

Custom prosthetic replacement for distal radial tumours.

We analysed the results of 24 cases of aggressive benign and malignant tumours of the distal radius treated by resection and prosthetic replacement between 1995 and 2006. Patient ages ranged from 18 to 74 years, averaging 33 years; 18 were males. Recurrent giant cell tumour was the most common tumour.
