Evaluation of anatomical knee joint line restoration in revision total knee replacement patients and its functional outcome: A retrospective cohort study
Publication date: Available online 9 February 2018 Source:Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery Author(s): Krunal H. Patel, A.V. Guarava Reddy, Krishnakiran Eachempati, T. Chiranjeevi, Sukesh Rao Sankineani, S. Muralidhar, Ajit Jungele, Shreya Patel Evaluation and correct reposition of joint line is ultimate challenge for arthroplasty surgeon during revision total knee replacement. Majority of landmarks had already destroyed while removing bone for either septic/aseptic loosening or for infection. This leads to poor outcome and post-operative dissatisfaction. There are various methods have been described but n...

A unique case of capito-hamate fractures with simultaneous dislocation of third, fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints in a young adult
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery Author(s): Naveen BM, Joseph Wehbe, Nimish Gaur, Youssef Hassan, B.K. Sharma Carpometacarpal fracture dislocations are rare and infrequent injuries, which are usually missed at the first presentation. The gross swelling of the wrist and hand conceals the deformity and the radiographs may not reveal much findings. It is important to make an early diagnosis for an appropriate treatment to prevent future morbidity. Therefore, a high index of suspicion, good quality imaging and a prompt surgical intervention in select case...

Anthropometric assessment of Tibial Resection Surface Morphology in Total Knee Arthroplasty for tibial component design in Indian population
Conclusion Clinically relevant differences in proximal tibia morphology at the level of proximal TKA resections across ethnicities can lead to mismatch of sizes of Western TKA implants in Indian patients. Tibial component designs should be done by considering the morphometry of knee in Indian population. Indian females were found to have significant smaller dimension of tibia in terms of size than. But the impact of small sample size and single centre on study warrant a multicentric study with large sample size. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Comparison of psychometric properties of subjective structured assessment instruments of technical performance during knee arthroscopy
Conclusion We recommend the use of Arthroscopic surgery skill evaluation tool [ASSET] as it demonstrates optimal psychometric properties. The ASSET can be used as gold standard to compare existing outcome assessment tools. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

A simple method for wrist ganglion staining with diluted surgical marking pen ink in arthroscopic resection and avoiding dye leakage-related subcutaneous discoloration
Publication date: Available online 20 November 2017 Source:Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery Author(s): Hui-Kuang Huang, Jung-Pan Wang, Yi-Chao Huang Arthroscopic resection of the wrist ganglion is commonly performed nowadays, and has a recurrence rate comparable to open excision. It is preferred by some surgeons due to the smaller and more cosmetic operative scar. When using the arthroscopic procedure, identification of the stalk of the ganglion can facilitate accurate resection. In order to achieve this, staining and enhancement of the ganglion through the use of surgical dye injection has been proposed by so...

Our experience in first 100 cases of endoscopic carpal tunnel release: An Indian perspective
Conclusion Endoscopic carpal tunnel release can be accepted as the treatment of choice for the surgical decompression of carpal tunnel owing to decreased postoperative complications. One of the major limitations of the ECTR is the slow learning curve of a surgeon. Difficulty to visualise the distal edge of TCL was most common cause for conversion. With increasing experience of a surgeon in endoscopic release, the conversion rates would decrease. Level of study: level 4, decision analysis (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Osteoarthrosis Knee: Need For a Simplified Prognostic Knee Score
Publication date: Available online 9 November 2017 Source:Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery Author(s): Prince Raina, Roop Bhushan Kalia Osteoarthrosis is the commonest joint disorder. There may be variations depending upon the type of joint involved and amount of loading of joint. Weight bearing joints appears to have a higher predisposition as compared to other joints. The treatment modalities for symptom relief vary from nonpharmacological to pharmacological and surgical interventions. The type of intervention required depends mainly on the amount of joint destruction which can be quantified clinically and rad...

Cemented Vs Uncemented modular Bipolar hemiarthroplasty treatment for femoral neck fracture in elderly patients
Conclusion Based on our study we reached the conclusion that the use of cement during hip hemiarthroplasty in patients over 64 years of age who invariably has osteoporotic bone and wide femoral canal had no negative impact on mortality or morbidity. Hemodynamic changes during cement application are important, but it is noteworthy that patients fitted with cemented endoprostheses had increased levels of activity and lower pain levels.

A Rare Variant of Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Fracture − A Case Report
Publication date: Available online 27 October 2017 Source:Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery Author(s): B.M. Naveen, P. Anjan, Vivek Phillip Mathew Tibial plateau fractures are very complex articular fractures with varied fracture configuration and soft tissue damage. Posterolateral corner injuries generally involve soft tissues; hence fractures in this area are very rare. Management of such injuries is a unique challenge in itself as it requires careful identification of fracture pattern and associated soft tissue lesions, proper surgical planning and execution, appropriate post-operative rehabilitation and tim...

The Promise of Silicon: bone regeneration and increased bone density
Publication date: Available online 27 October 2017 Source:Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery Author(s): M. Arora, E. Arora Historically, silicon has been accorded low importance as a trace element. Its role has generally been regulated to that of minor influence on bone and connective tissue development. However, in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that these assumptions are incorrect. Silicon plays a key role in bone biology, improving bone regeneration and increasing bone mineral density. The aim of this review is to provide an understanding of the role of silicon in bone biology and its clinical applicatio...
