Intramedullary nailing in segmental fractures of shaft of femur: analysis of parameters influencing time to union.

Purpose: Segmental fractures, being associated with high energy trauma, are quite intimidating for the treating surgeon due to wide incidence of complications. The soft tissue damage and the fracture pattern in segmental fractures further disrupt the precarious nutrition of the floating intercalary segment, affecting fracture healing. Our study analyses the parameters influencing time to union in segmental fractures of femur.

Solid aneurysmal bone cyst of cuboid: rare location and diagnostic conundrum.

The solid variant of aneurysmal bone cyst is an expansile cystic lesion involving long tubular bones with unknown aetiology and usually occurs in the second decade of life. This is a paradigm of fibrocystic lesions. We report the rare case of a male with a biopsy-proven solid variant aneurysmal bone cyst of the cuboid that was mistakenly diagnosed as osteomyelitis.

Normative Data of Carpal Bone Measurements in the Sample Adult Indian Population.

 Radiography is the most often accessible and affordable imaging modality. Accurate assessments of wrist X-rays can aid in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of various wrist problems. This study aims to identify normal radiographic anthropometry reference values and variations of carpal bones and joints by gender and age in sample Indian population, with the potential to be clinically applicable.
