Increased Anticoagulant Requirement in Total Hip Replacement Patients Post-COVID: A Comparative Study in the Indian Population.

Introduction: India's healthcare landscape features a blend of modern medicine and alternative systems, which gained widespread use during the COVID-19 pandemic. The undocumented use of traditional remedies and unregulated substances limited formal diagnosis and treatment records, complicating post-operative risk assessment. The pandemic has had lasting effects on vascular and coagulation systems.

A Large-diameter Corona Mortis Artery Encountered During Surgery for Acetabular Fracture: A Case Report and Review of Anatomical Significance.

Introduction: The corona mortis (CM) artery or ("crown of death") is a vascular anastomosis between the obturator artery and either the external iliac or inferior epigastric artery. An anastomosis is defined as one or more vessels that merge with other vessels before dividing. The CM's clinical significance arises from its potential of bleeding you can have if injured while performing any pelvic or acetabular surgeries.

The use of proximal fragment transverse Kirschner wire as a joystick to correct rotational displacement in Gartland type III pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures: a novel technique.

Supracondylar humerus fractures comprise of a major part in pediatric trauma cases. They result from a fall on an outstretched hand. The rotational components of Gartland type III fractures if not corrected appropriately can lead to cubitus varus (gun stock deformity).

Sir Percivall Pott: A Stalwart Contributor to the World of Surgery.

Sir Percivall Pott (1714-1788) was a prominent English surgeon renowned for his substantial contributions to surgery and orthopedics. His career began with the preparation of cadavers for dissection under Edward Nourse, where he studied anatomy. Among his many significant contributions, Pott advocated for limb-preserving techniques over radical methods such as amputation.

Comprehensive Management Approaches for Acute Distal Radioulnar Joint Instability Post distal End Radius Fracture.

Introduction: The peripheral radioulnar articulation and the bony radioulnar articulation make up the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), a diarthrodial trochoid synovial joint stabilizers for soft tissues. Of the DRUJ's stability, only around 20% may be attributed to the bony articulation. Treatment for DRUJ injuries resulting from a solely ligamentous rupture varies and is subject to debate.

Evaluation of Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Long Bone Fractures in Non-union Treated With Nail and Plate With Osteo-Periosteal Flaps.

Objective: To evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of long bone fractures in non-union cases treated with nail and plate with osteo-periosteal flaps.

Methods: This prospective study included 20 patients with non-union long bone fractures treated at Dr. DY Patil Medical College, Pimpri, Pune over a two-year period.

Dr. John H. Charnley: An Architect and Pioneer of the Modern Era of Hip Replacement Surgery.

Dr. John H. Charnley (1924-1982) revolutionized orthopedic surgery with his groundbreaking innovations in hip replacement with exceptional skill and a holistic thought process, which has had an impact to this day in the world of arthroplasty.

Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty With a Calcar Stem for the Management of a Failed Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-rotation Asia (PFNA2) in a Case of Geriatric Unstable Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture.

Intertrochanteric (IT) femur fractures in the elderly population comprise a major part of geriatric trauma and fractures. There are various modalities of surgical management, ranging from intramedullary fixation and extramedullary fixation to even replacing the hip joint. Apart from the surgeon's choice, other factors, such as geriatric age, bone quality and osteoporosis, medical comorbidities, life expectancy, pre-operative ambulatory status, muscle strength, type and pattern of fracture, and mental health of the patient, play vital roles in determining the ideal modality of management and the long-term outcome.

Cemented Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty as a Treatment Modality for Pathological Fracture in the Proximal Femur Metastasis Without the Recurrence of Primary Breast Cancer: A Case Report.

Metastatic lesions in the proximal femur are well-known in the literature and are important since they can progress to pathological fractures and impair the patient's mobility. We present the case of a middle-aged female with a history of breast carcinoma 20 years ago, who experienced diffuse chronic hip pain for the past two months. Radiographs, MRI, and PET scans revealed a metastatic lesion in her proximal femur.

Acromioclavicular Ganglion Cyst: A Rare Case Report.

Acromioclavicular ganglion cysts are uncommon, with only a limited number of cases reported in the medical literature. This case report presents a unique instance of an acromioclavicular ganglion cyst in an 81-year-old male patient, outlining the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and successful surgical management. The purpose of this report is to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on this rare condition and highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate intervention.

Restoring Wrist Harmony: A Case Report of Ulnar Osteotomy for Correcting the Radius Malunion.

A 41-year-old female patient sought medical attention due to a malunited distal radius fracture with a positive ulnar variance, experiencing wrist pain and limited range of motion. The patient was successfully treated with an isolated ulnar osteotomy and bone grafting, resulting in significant alleviation of symptoms and improved wrist mobility. Various surgical methods have been proposed to address malunited radius fractures, and ulnar osteotomy has shown promise as an effective technique for such cases.

Functional Outcome of Closed Reduction and Extension Casting in Forearm Fractures in Children.

Introduction Fractures in children are extremely common scenarios encountered by orthopedicians. Conservative treatment has been the most preferred choice for the management of diaphyseal forearm fractures. Traditionally, pediatric forearm fractures are treated by above elbow plaster cast with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees.

Assessment of Surgical Outcome in Three- and Four-Part Proximal Humerus Fracture Treated With Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) Plate Versus Neer's Prosthesis in Elderly Patients.

Background: With an incidence of 50% of humerus fractures, proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) can significantly impact one's quality of life. Moreover, management of highly comminuted or displaced PHFs poses a significant challenge amongst elderly population due to poor bone quality. Prosthetic replacement of humeral head or its stabilization using external plates is a commonly employed intervention for treating three- and four-part PHFs.
