Abstract

Introduction: Clavicle, an unusual site for an expansile lytic lesion of bone with multiple differential diagnostic possibilities and plasmacytoma being one of them, although reported but very rare. Solitary plasmacytoma of bone(SBP) are a localized bone tumour consisting of plasma cells with no other clinical features that of multiple myeloma. We are presenting such a rare case of solitary plasmacytoma of bone involving the medial end of the clavicle.
Case report: A 40-year female presented with complaints of pain and swelling in the inner aspect of the left clavicle since 2 months. Radiographs showed a lytic expansile lesion involving the medial end of the clavicle and confirmed with CT scan. FNAC was inconclusive and hence excisional biopsy done with a provisional diagnosis of giant cell tumour (GCT). Histopathology features suggestive of plasma cell neoplasm like nodules of plasma cells with an enlarged nucleus and also IHC quantified plasma cells with stains for kappa and lambda. Skeletal survey, serum and urinary electrophoresis, alkaline phosphatase, haemoglobin, renal function test, ESR, CRP, serum calcium and phosphate levels were within normal limits. Bone marrow biopsy also ruled out the possibility of multiple myeloma hence a possible diagnosis of solitary plasmacytosis of bone was made. The patient was further evaluated by oncologists and subsequently, radiotherapy was given. The patient has been in regular follow up for 2 years with no signs of recurrence and multiple myeloma.
Conclusion: Clavicle, although an unusual site of primary bone tumour, should be kept in mind for any swelling around it. Plasmacytoma should also be considered as a differential along with other commoner differentials like GCT, fibrous dysplasia for osteolytic expansile lesions in the clavicle. Multiple myeloma should be ruled at presentation and at long term regular follow-ups to be considered as solitary plasmacytoma of bone after histopathological diagnosis.
Keywords: Plasmacytoma; Clavicle.

Abstract

Background: Pediatric femur fracture management is a controversial issue even today. Because of the spontaneous healing power of this age group, one school of thought believes in hip spica cast while the other group of orthopedicians prefer surgical management of this fracture.
Aims and objective: Aim of this study was to analyze the results of pediatric femur fractures treated with Titanium elastic nails (TENS).
Material and methods: This is a prospective study of 30 cases of pediatric femur fracture treated with TENS in the Department of Orthopedic, SCBMCH, from July 2017 to December 2019 and functional results are analyzed with 10 scoring criteria devised by Flynn et al i.e. Flynn criteria. Radiological assessment was done by Anthony et al scale for grading callus formation.
Result: Excellent results achieved in 24 (79%), satisfactory in 4 (15%) and poor in 2(6%) cases as per Flynn criteria. All fractures healed in a mean period of 7.9 weeks (6-12 weeks). The most common complication was entry site irritation in 6 (20%) that subside after nail removal.
Conclusion: TENS is an effective modality of a surgical method for pediatric femoral shaft fracture with precise technique and proper aftercare.
Keywords: TENS; Adolescent femur; Fracture.

Abstract

Objective: To assess the clinical outcome of unreamed intramedullary interlocking nailing in open fractures of tibia, and to evaluate the incidence of complications in these open fractures as a result of the same.
Methods: Between June 2018 and May 2019, a total of 56 cases of open tibial shaft fractures were operated on with unreamed interlocking nails at SCB MCH, Cuttack, India. Records of 52 patients (18 women and 34 men) were available for study. Only injuries associated with the tibial shaft were included. Traffic accidents were the cause of fractures. All fractures were classified according to Gustilo and Anderson classification for open fractures. There were 28(53.8%) type-I, 16 (30.7%) type-II, 8 (15.3%) type- IIIA fractures. After thorough debridement under anaesthesia, an unreamed interlocking nail was inserted. All nails were locked proximally and distally.
Results: The patients were followed up for a mean period of 19 months (range, 18–24 months) and were evaluated according to the modified Ketenjian’s criteria. Results were good to excellent in 85.8% cases, and poor in 10.7% cases. Only 2 of 8 patients with type-III fractures had good results. Of 56 patients, 6 had superficial infection, 4 had deep infection, 6 had delayed union, 1 had infected non-union, 3 had malunion, 6 had screw breakage, and 10 had anterior knee pain.
Conclusion: Unreamed interlocking tibial nailing can be safely used for type-I and type-II open injuries even with delayed presentation. Use of unreamed nailing in type-III fractures with delayed presentation has high incidence of complications in this study.
Keywords: Unreamed interlocking nail, Open tibial fractures.

Abstract

Split hand foot malformation syndrome (SHFM) is a rare condition. The management of split hand depends on the severity of first web space narrowing, degree of split, presence of incomplete or extra ray and syndactyly. For the type II B Manske and Halikis hand trans position of second metacarpal along with fist web space widening and split excision has been recommended. However this needs microsurgical expertise.
In the present paper we report a case of isolated SHFM and a novel technique of corrective osteotomy of the second metacarpal instead of transposition. This is a much simpler technique with similar results.
Keywords: Split hand foot malformation, Split hand reconstruction, Metacarpal osteotomy

Abstract

Introduction: High-energy musculoskeletal trauma with extensive soft tissue loss is difficult to treat and underlying fracture makes it more cumbersome. This prolongs hospitalization and regular conventional dressings increase socio-economic burden. Vacuum assisted closure (VAC) was developed to prepare wound for early definitive management. It acts by decreasing edema, exudates, bacterial counts and promotes granulation tissue formation, neovascularization, approximates wound edges.
Aim: To evaluate outcomes, efficacy and limitations of low-cost VAC for management of extensive soft tissue loss and infected wounds.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in Dept. Of Orthopedics of a tertiary care hospital from December 2018 to July 2019 on 53 patients, either with extensive soft tissue injury following acute trauma or those with infected-necrotic wound. Forty two patients had acute trauma history while remaining 11 had infected non healing wound. Cultures were sent pre and post VAC application and antibiotic coverage was administered. Low cost VAC was applied after debridement and changed after every 3 – 4 days.
Results: Forty eight cases treated with low-cost VAC were ready for skin graft/flap/secondary suture after 1 to 3 cycles (4 to 12 days) of therapy. Another two cases developed spontaneous re-epithelization. The wound infection was controlled in 70% of the cases. Three patients did not achieve desired result due to limitations of the procedure.
Conclusion: Low-cost VAC has proved to be effective while being substantially cheaper (1/16th of conventional VAC). Its role is limited when the depth of wound is far greater than its length.
Keywords: Low cost VAC, Vacuum assisted closure, wound management, Negative pressure wound therapy, Soft tissue loss, Compound fracture.

Abstract

This is a prospective case study about tibia plateau fractures in 28 patients which was managed with arthroscopic assisted internal fixation with plating and with or without bone grafting. In our study we saw domestic fall was a cause of fracture in about 60 yrs age patient with osteoporosis . Intra operative findings showed lateral meniscal tear in 6 patients medial meniscal tear in 1 patient which were repaired or menisectomy was done accordingly. In most of the patient fracture union seen by 4 to 6 months. Radiological Rasmussen score was Excellent in 53.5% in 3 months of follow up where as it improved to 75% by 6 months and 1 year follow up. Clinical Rasmussen score was Excellent in 50% of patients in 3 months where as it was improved to 71.4% by 6 months and 75% by 1 year follow up. Complications like infection in 3 patients , malunion in 2 patients, wound dehiscence in 2 patients. Arthroscopic assisted tibial plateau fixation is a preferred treatment for tibial plateau fracture because arthroscopy gives a precise visualization of pathology in the knee joint which can be meticulously addressed which gives early mobility and excellent range of movements.
Keywords: Intra-articular fracture , Tibial plateau , Arthroscopy-assisted internal fixation.

Abstract

Background: Perkin-Colles’ fracture however may leave behind a deformed wrist.
Aim: To evaluate how the period of immobilization in conservative treatment of extra-articular Colle’s type fractures of the distal radius affects functional outcome.
Objective: One group was immobilized for 4 week another group for 6 weeks.
Null Hypothesis: There is no difference between two groups in terms of functional outcome.
Methods: This prospective study included 70 patients and was carried in S.C.B. Medical College in Department of Orthopedics from 2017-19.One group was immobilized for 4 week another group for 6 weeks. Standard radiographs were made of both wrists in two directions after the fracture, then of the injured side on day 11 following repositioning, and at 3month and 6 month. Anatomical results were assessed by evaluating the dorsal angulation, loss of radial inclination, and loss of radial length. Functional results were assessed by the evaluation of pain, range of active motion, grip strength, and appearance of the wrist joint.
Results: 1-No Statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of functional outcome in 6 months 2- Statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of functional outcome in 3 months.
Conclusion: In long term follow up there is no difference in functional outcome with respect to period of immobilization rather it is more related to the radiological (anatomical) outcome.
Keywords: Casts, Conservative, Mayo score, Colles’ fracture, hand strength, prospective studies, radiography, range of motion, articular; treatment failure.

From Editors Desk

The purpose of our journal has been to serve as a permanent, transparent and open platform for the presentation, scrutiny, and discussion of Orthopaedic research in our state. This we have endeavoured since the very inception of our journal in 19–. Despite the multitude of impressive articles and sustained enthusiasm with which the previous editors and authors carried on, we realised that a massive change was needed in order to maintain our utility and contribute to our goals in this everchanging changing world. We had to sit down, introspect and decide how we could do things better. The shortcomings were glaring. We lacked indexing in any major form. In this technologically savvy age, our online presence and article submission system was archaic. Despite having such a senior and talented pool of orthopaedic surgeons our peer-review system was abysmal. Our editorial/reviewer teams have to be moulded in order to solve the problems of deprecation into the journals working methods. All this requires not only a coordinated effort on the part of the editors & reviewers but it also needs the sustained support of the authors and the entire orthopaedic community of the state. There are many issues that need to be tackled. We lack subspeciality focus, an online submission system, a proper peer review system, our articles are submitted just in the nick of time and yet it is expected to be published early (without a proper peer-review or constructive criticism) and finally, we lacked a professional vetting system for the submitted articles. We decided to rope in professional publishers and approached the Indian Orthopaedic Research Group. The changes that we attempt to bring in will require long term planning, patience (for the results will require a lot of time to present) and probably also require cajoling for acceptance by our whole fraternity. But these changes are absolutely mandatory and this piece of the editorial is probably akin to Nokia CEOs infamous “burning platform” memo (before Nokia/Symbian sank in 2011), except that we envision a very successful transition. The effect of these changes will be apparent over the next 2 to 3 volumes and we hope these will set in motion improvements that last a foreseeable future.

Abstract

The routine use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) in big and complex wounds has gained the momentum over the past couple of years .In addition to surgical debridement for treating tissue defects around open fractures and chronic non healing ulcers, contaminated wounds in orthopaedic trauma, open fractures with soft tissue defects, its usage is frequently seen with increasing evidence to aid closed incisions having high risk of wound breakdown. Also the evidence for its use on skin grafts is now well established.
This review will analyze the available literature in order to summarize the current understanding of NPWT in terms of its mechanism of action, its applications, complications, contraindications and its future. Research on the application of NPWT in treating chronic non-healing wounds has largely taken the form of case studies, single-center studies, non-randomized controlled trials, with few randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Our aim is to summarize the current and emerging indications for negative pressure wound therapy in Orthopaedic trauma and the existing evidence for its use.
Keywords: Negative pressure wound therapy, Open fractures, Trauma, Wound management.
