Mikaeil Tafkiki Alamdari, Ali Tabrizi, Ahmadreza Afshar Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):34-36 Skeletal involvements are less likely in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), and it is even rarer in the hand. Flexor tenosynovitis from M. tuberculosis concomitant with median nerve involvement has been rarely reported, and it usually presents with symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In this report, we introduced a patient with symptoms of CTS with rice body in the volar wrist synovium membrane and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Rice bodies were presented in synovium and ..read more

Priyank Sahoo, Afroz Ahmed Khan Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):28-30 Osteofibrous dysplasia is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesion of childhood, more often seen in maxilla and mandible. Among a long bone, it is usually encountered in the tibia as a painless swelling or anterior bowing. Osteofibrous dysplasia mimicking exostoses has never been reported in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. Here, we would like to present an unusual case of osteofibrous dysplasia of the tibia clinically mimicking exostoses ..read more

Ganesh Singh Dharmshaktu, Tanuja Pangtey Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):31-33 Tuberculosis of the wrist is an uncommon clinical entity and mostly presents as insidious pain and swelling. Presentation of singular carpal bone involvement is rare as the presenting feature. A case of scaphoid fracture was evaluated in a 20-year-old male patient, and underlying tuberculosis was diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging and culture of joint fluid. Antitubercular therapy under appropriate supervision resulted in clinical improvement and optimal regain of function. No reactivati ..read more

Ajay Bharti, Kriti Mohan, Raj Kumar Singh, Indu Narain Vajpai, Tanu Midha, Ashutosh Diwedi Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):17-21 OBJECTIVES: Injuries are the leading cause of death in the first four decades of life and the third leading cause of death among all patients. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) is the most common cause of injury in India with varied reports of mortality ranging from 7% to 45%. There are several scoring systems to evaluate the severity of injury and predict mortality. However, the reliability of injury score as a mortality predictor ..read more

Nikhil Dilip Palange, GS Prasannakumar, Nadir Shah, Eknath Pawar Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):22-27 BACKGROUND: Calcaneal fractures are one of the most difficult and challenging fractures to treat by the orthopedic surgeon. Most of these fractures (i.e., almost 75%) are intra-articular. Furthermore, majority of these fractures are highly comminuted. Hence, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with anatomical plate gives the best possible opportunity to bring about near-anatomical joint surface reduction and prevention of subsequent arthritis. This arti ..read more

Elie Haddad, Cyrielle Soulaine, Bruno Dohin Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):12-16 INTRODUCTION: The authors report a descriptive analysis of spine computed tomography (CT) scan to describe the anatomy of the laminae of T2 and T3 vertebrae. The aim of the study was to establish reference data in the adolescent population. These data could be useful to improve the effectiveness of laminar hooks. Hook-claw anchorage has been considered as one of the best choices in terms of safety and durability in the spine surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We systematically reviewed CT sca ..read more

Vince W Lands, Daniel M Avery, Ajith Malige, Jill Stoltzfus, Brett W Gibson, Gregory F Carolan Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):8-11 PURPOSE: To assess the interobserver reliability and intraobserver variability of the visual analog scale (VAS) for visualization in shoulder arthroscopy and compare it to a less variable, more objective novel grading scale, the shoulder arthroscopy grading scale (SAGS). METHODS: Twenty separate 30-s length video clips were created from a library of shoulder arthroscopies. Video clips were randomized and distributed to six sports medicine f ..read more

Ahmed A Khalifa, Ahmed M Ahmed, Mohammed Khaled, Elsayed A Said Journal of Orthopaedics and Allied Sciences 2019 7(1):4-7 Operative treatment of femoral fractures using intramedullary nailing is considered as the gold standard technique; despite safety and minimal invasiveness, it is prone to some complications, of these is the persistent abductor lurch even after complete fracture healing. In this review, we are discussing the possible factors which may endanger the superior gluteal nerve during cephalomedullary nailing of the femur ..read more
