Poliomyelitis is a rare disease at present, but presentation with its sequalae is not uncommon. In this study we are presenting 5 different cases with 5 different deformities in lower limb, who were managed with arthrodesis, tendon transfer, and osteotomies in combination. All the 5 patients were satisfied with their gait and pain relief after surgery compared with pre-operative status. All patients were followed for period of 2 years post operatively, no major complications were encountered. In conclusion, because of gross muscle power compromise replacement surgeries will not give good results in post residual paralysis patients, so salvage procedures definitely improve the performances of patients with painful unstable joints.
Objectives: A Study was made to study the functional outcome of Surgical Management of Distal end Femoral Fractures in Adults with Locking Compression Plate. Materials and Methods:In this study 15 patients with closed supracondylar fractures of femur (distal fifteen cm of femur) were studied. All the cases were treated at Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, between November 2013 to March 2015 at our institution and followed for a minimum of 4 months. Results: Excellent results were seen in about 20% patients according to functional outcome -NEER'S scoring. 6 patients had superficial infection and 1 patient had delayed union. Conclusions: Locking Compression Plate is an important armamentarium in treatment of fractures of distal end femur, especially when fracture is severely comminuted and in situations of osteoporosis. Fractures of distal and femur represent 4-6% of all femoral fractures, the traditional concept of internal fixation which requires an extended approach to the fracture fragments is presently being challenged by a more biological, traumatic approach with careful handling of soft tissue envelop and without bone grafting. The ultimate aim in treating these fractures in adult population is to achieve rapid bony union and allow early mobilization. The main Aim of study is to evaluate the results of Surgical Management of Distal end Femoral Fractures in Adults with Locking Compression Plate. Patients with Distal end femur fracture satisfying the inclusion criteria. The proposed study is a hospital based prospective study centered in orthopedic department, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad. The follow up would be for two year with evaluation at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months 12 months, and 24 months.
To study the functional outcome of fracture neck of femur treated with cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty, post operative time required for mobilization of the patient, complications related to this procedure and to study the quality of life after hemireplacement arthroplasty using cemented bipolar endoprosthesis in 20 Patients who have sustained an intracapsular femoral neck fracture and are admitted in Deccan College Of Medical Sciences (PEH) and finally evaluated by Harris Hip Score.
<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Supracondylar femoral fracture poses a considerable therapeutic challenge. Operative treatment has become a standardized procedure. Stabilization has usually been achieved by an osteosynthesis with dynamic condylar screws or retrograde supracondylar nailing. In this article we are going to compare the results of surgical management of supracondylar nail and dynamic condylar screw. The aim is to study the effectiveness of dynamic condylar screw in surgical management of supracondylar fractures of femur.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Prospective study of patients who had sustained supracondylar fracture of femur. The patients included in this study were those with supracondylar fractures of the femur with or without articular involvement and disruption of the joint surface. Study was done for a period of two and half years.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In our study of 21 cases, there were 8 patients (38%) who had associated fractures. Two patients were more than 50 yrs. 3 patients had compound injury which were grade-II of Gustilo Anderson classification. One of them developed post-operative infection and resulted in poor outcome. Other 2 patients had decrease range of movements resulted in fair outcome. Type C2 constituted highest number 8 (38%) followed by type A3 which was 28.5% i.e., 8 patients. Infection is observed in 9.5% of patients. 2 patients had implant failure and both were due to early weight bearing. In our study excellent and good results were found to be in 61.9%.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Role of dynamic compression screw in the surgical management of supracondylar fractures of the femur minimizes the risk of complications.</p>
