Osteoarthritis (OA) of knee is most common disorder noted in elderly patients with knee pain. Majority of these patients present with substantial knee deformities, especially varus deformity in India. Many studies have been published in Indian literature regarding the magnitude of knee deformities, but our study projects large number of cases which can give insight of knee deformities.
Conventionally X-ray techniques have been used to diagnose ligament injuries [6,8,9] . Magnetic resonance imaging has opened new horizons in the diagnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases of the ankle and foot. It demonstrates abnormalities in the bones and soft tissues before they become evident at other imaging modalities, but it is expensive and time consuming. But this is still not available in the current scenario. That's why this study is an attempt to find out the effectiveness of X-rays in diagnosing the ligamental tears.
A supracondylar fracture is an injury to the humerus, or upper arm bone, at its narrowest point, just above the elbow. Supracondylar fractures are the most common type of upper arm injury in children. They are frequently caused by a fall on an outstretched elbow or a direct blow to the elbow. Because of the proximity of crucial NeuroVascular structures, a thorough knowledge of anatomy if essential. Accurate reduction and stable fixation of bony injuries can often optimize ultimate function and limit long-term disability. Supracondylar Fractures of Humerus is one of the few fractures which when treated well may not bring credit to a reputed Surgeon, but, if it is not handled properly, it can definitely be a big problem. This study puts in an effort to find the effectiveness of management of supracondylar fractures humerus by percutaneous pinning.
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.
