Therapeutic impact of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation on palliative surgery for metastatic spine tumors
Conclusions: For patients with early-stage metastatic spine tumors, the use of PPS-based posterior stabilization combined with multidisciplinary adjuvant therapy has changed the age range of the patients indicated for surgery and caused significant improvements in surgical stress, postoperative survival time, and Barthel index.

A prospective study of clinicoradiologic-urodynamic correlation in patients with tuberculosis of the spine
Conclusion: Significant bladder comorbidity is associated with spinal TB and its presence can be recognized as a poor prognostic factor. Urological morbidity is strongly linked to the nerve root and posterior element involvement; reduction in disc height; and end plate erosion. Clinical/neurological improvement correlates with marked radiological and urological improvement. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Outcome evaluation of modified uninstrumented open-door cervical laminoplasty for ossified posterior longitudinal ligament with cervical myelopathy
Conclusion: Uninstrumented ODCL is an easily reproducible and economical alternative to the standard instrumented laminoplasty with equivalent short term outcomes. This technique is a valuable option in the treatment of cervical OPLL, especially in regions with scarce resources. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Late-onset paraplegia in old healed spinal tuberculosis due to traumatic fracture of fusion mass & #8211; A rare case report
J Naresh Babu, Viswanadha Arun KumarIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2019 53(3):482-485
The natural healing of spinal tuberculosis occurs by spontaneous fusion of vertebral bodies with or without kyphotic deformity. Late-onset paraplegia secondary to the fracture of fusion mass in tuberculosis is one of the rare conditions which have not been extensively reported. A 56-year-old male patient sustained road traffic accident was diagnosed with a fracture of fusion mass in already healed tuberculosis. He was presented with weakness in both the lower limbs with ASIA-C grading of spinal cord injury. He was treated with posterior ...

Proximal femoral erosion: A sequelae of psuedoaneursym formation following operative fixation of an intertrochanteric neck of femur fracture
Surjit S Lidder, Daniel J Epstein, Victoria Courtice, Marc D GeorgeIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2019 53(3):479-481A 72-year-old male sustained a left intertrochanteric neck of femur fracture following a fall. He underwent operative fixation with a dynamic hip screw and was discharged home. Fifteen months later, the patient presented again with ongoing left thigh pain and swelling. A pelvic radiograph showed scalloping of the medial proximal femoral cortex. Further investigation revealed a left profunda femoris artery pseudoaneurysm. Vascular injury during operative fixation of intratrochanteric fractures is a rare compli...

Fixation of posterior tibial plateau fracture with additional posterior plating improves early rehabilitation and patient satisfaction
Conclusion: Addition of posterior approach for stabilization of the posterior fragment in posterior tibial plateau fractures achieves early and improved knee functions, good range of movements, minimal deformities, and pain scores by the time fracture unites. However, peri-operative morbidity, Extra implant costs and increased operative time are its disadvantages. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Lateral clavicle fractures with coracoclavicular ligament disruption (Neer & #39;s Type IIB): Review of literature and a new technique for all-suture fixation
Conclusion: This is a reproducible and efficient technique that provides comparable results with other established procedures at a fraction of the cost of the next cheapest implant. It is recommended for the treatment of displaced Type II clavicle fractures. Level of Evidence: Level IV. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Role of fat graft alone versus enriched fat graft with stromal vascular filtrate in painful amputation stump
Conclusion: Autologous fat grafting is a viable and minimally invasive solution for painful amputation stump. Enrichment of fat graft with SVF can enhance its viability over long term. This study was done as a pilot project. Hence, further long term studies with large sample size are needed to ascertain the benefits observed in this study. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)
