“…In our experience, most patients with patellar malalignment have pain without instability. In this group, patellar tilt, as defined previously, 3 was found to be an especially useful radiological sign. …”

“…[3][4][5] Patients with instability have a predisposition to trochlear dysplasia, and the authors are correct in pointing out that the sulcus angle is a reflection of this tendency. In our experience, most patients with patellar malalignment have pain without instability.…”

“…In a previous study 3 it was suggested that the incidence of breakage of nails and screws may amount to more than 20% of unreamed locked nailings, and can cause considerable problems for the patient and surgeon. Despite this, we do agree that intramedullary nailing is superior to external fixation in the treatment of most open tibial fractures.…”

The incidence of tibial shaft fracture that too distal end fracture is on the rise due to increased rate of road traffic accident by two-wheeler users, specially due to the traffic scenario in cities of our country. High speed vehicles, bad roads and rapid industrialization has further compounded the problems. In this prospective study, we studied 20 patients that suffered a distal tibial fracture. They were managed by intramedullary nailing with or without fixation of the fibula. Results were based on radiological and functional outcomes categorized by excellent, good, fair and poor. We evaluated the rate of fracture union and post-operative complications. 65% of the patients had an excellent outcome, 25% had good, 5 had fair and 5 had a poor outcome. 6 patients suffered complication. The average time to union was 15 weeks. Our study concluded the excellent outcomes that could achieved by intramedullary nail with the distal locking screw.

“…Clasper et al 11 reported that presence of pin track infection at the same place and time of IMN can predispose to infecting the internal fixation device However, internal fixation after removal of EF is known to have low risk of infection and good union rate. 10,15,17,23 Wu and Chen 10 presented a technique for speedy pure lengthening, not segment transfer and no docking site problems, of short tibia because of aseptic nonunion, poliomyelitis, and/or malunion by EF with rate of 1 to 1.5 mm per day followed by internal fixation using plates or static IMN, once the lengthening achieved, without waiting for new bone to consolidate. Bone graft was used during the procedure of internal fixation to accelerate distracting callus maturation.…”
