For present study, antero posterior radiographs of lumbar spine of three hundred adult subjects of Sonepat District were utilized. These radiographs were of known sex i.e. hundred & fifty males and hundred & fifty females and of known age group (between twenty five and forty years of age). The parameters used in the study are transverse diameters of spinal canal, antero-posterior diameters of vertebral bodies. Making use of these parameters canal body ratio is calculated. The values less than the lower limits of the calculated range may be suggestive of spinal canal stenosis, while the values more than the upper limits of the calculated range may be suggestive of intraspinal tumor at that particular segmental level for males and females respectively.
Talar body injuries are rare, particularly in children. To our knowledge, there has not been a single case report of bilateral talus fracture in a child till date. We report two cases of fracture bilateral talus in children. The first case is of a fracture separation of the distal tibial epiphysis and a fracture of the body of the talus with subluxation of ankle on right side and a fracture neck of talus on left side. The second is fracture bilateral talus with epiphyseal injury of left distal tibia. A minimal or undisplaced fracture of talus is less likely to undergo avascular necrosis than a displaced fracture but even with optimal treatment, avascular necrosis may still occur. It is of prime significance that these fractures should be diagnosed well in time to avert complications. Therefore an appropriate length of follow-up is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
