Total knee arthroplasty in long standing post-traumatic isolated bony ankylosis of patellofemoral joint
Publication date: Available online 23 October 2017 Source:Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery Author(s): Narinder Kumar, Pankaj Poswal Conversion of a fused knee to a total knee arthroplasty is seldom done at most of the orthopaedic centers globally due to high level of expertise required as well as high risk of complications. Conversion of long standing isolated patellofemoral bony fusion to total knee arthroplasty has not been reported in literature till now and one such case is being reported with successful outcome. The management of this case of isolated post-traumatic patellofemoral fusion is briefly describ...

Trapdoor technique for intralesional excision of chondroblastoma of proximal humerus
We describe a novel technique to localize the sub chondral tumour intra-operatively using a Kirschner (K) wire and to treat the same employing a trap-door technique in a case of chondroblastoma of proximal humerus, which was completely missed during a previous attempted curettage. Our technique is simple and effective and easily reproducible. To the best of our knowledge this technique has not been described in the literature for the treatment of chondroblastoma of proximal humerus. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Ender nail fixation of humeral diaphyseal fracture: Indications and outcome – A series of 46 cases
Conclusion Ender nailing for fracture shaft of humerus is a cost effective, time saving, minimally invasive technique with minimal blood loss. It has many benefits, with good results attainable and comparable with those seen with conservative modalities and other surgical modalities making it a viable option.

Tibial avulsion fractures of pcl —A comparison of outcomes between isolated, associated and missed injuries
Conclusion The Burks and Schaffer approach is technically simple and safe; our modification enables better reduction and easy fixation. Functional outcome of the knee is best in isolated injuries; good in associated injuries despite the presence of other fractures; fair in treated missed injuries and definitely poor in untreated cases. Identifying the tell-tale signs will help us avoid missed injuries. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Templating digital radiographs using acetate templates in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Conclusion It was possible to accurately and reliably predict the size of the acetabular cup and the femoral stem, using standard acetate onlay templates on digital radiographs, without the use of digital templating software. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Functional outcomes and survival-ship of total hip replacement in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis: a systematic review
Conclusion The outcomes and survival-ship of total hip replacement in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is as good as those done for other indications. Heterotopic ossification and re-ankylosis after THR is not a common phenomenon and routine prophylaxis is not recommended. But there is lack of high quality controlled studies comparing outcomes in patients undergoing total hip replacement for ankylosing spondylitis and osteoarthritis.

Study of neuroreceptors in native ACL stump and autologus hamstring tendon graft
Conclusion The results suggest that complete or partial ACL tears should be addressed by early arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using remnant-preserving technique, as the number of mechanoreceptors gradually deteriorates with time following injury. (Source: Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery)

Trends in scientific publications of Indian arthroplasty surgeons over 15 years (2001 –2015)
Conclusion The current study concept reveals that publications in arthroplasty have been on growing rate in the last decade, although seems to be less. Further efforts such as research training of arthroplasty surgeons, international collaborations, and allocation of adequate funds, proper English tutorials are key factors to improve the scientific publications from India.
