Modified Posterior Approach to the Hip Joint


Authored by K Mohan lyer

The Modification offers greater visibility and decreased blood loss to the Hip Joint, there by conferring greater stability posteriorly ascompared with the conventional Posterior Approach as described by Austin Moore in 1957. This Modification was devised at a time whenthe cause of dislocation was being blamed on the Posterior Approach to the Hip Joint [1,2] In this Approach, since bone is attached to bone, itconfers greater stability than an ordinary suture through soft tissues and hence reduces dislocation of the Hip Joint [3].

Juniper Publishers - Osteoporosis and Osteopenia in Patients with Osteoarthritis

  Orthopedics and Rheumatology Open Access Journal    Abstract Both osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are recognized as age related skeletal disorders, but it is commonly held that these diagnoses do not often occur together in the same patient. Recent studies of bone mineral density scores in subjects with osteoarthritis indicate that osteoporosis occurs worldwide in 21-32% of patients with advanced osteoarthritis. Advanced age and low body-mass-index are major discriminating factors for osteoporosis in osteoarthritis. Because of clinical implications of osteoporosis in patients being managed for osteoarthritis, it is important to identify and refer for osteoporosis evaluation those patients at risk. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis (OA) most frequently involves the hands, knees, hips, and spine; it is diagnosed on the basis of joint pain and radiographic evidence of non-uniform narrowing of a joint space, osteophytes, and sub...

Juniper Publishers - Fractures of the Proximal Third Tibia Treated With Intramedullary Interlocking Nails and Blocking Screws

Image
  Orthopedics and Rheumatology Open Access Journal Abstract Background: Internal splint age of proximal metaphyseal tibial fractures has gained acceptance as a method of early stabilization of such injuries. Intramedullary nailing is a challenging procedure .This study tries to evaluate treatment outcomes of closed reduction and intramedullary nailing with the aid of blocking screws to maintain the reduction and stabilize theses injuries. Patients and Method: Thirty patients (23 males and 7 females) with proximal metaphyseal tibial fractures were treated and followed from June 2010 and February 2014 (44 months) with average 19 months. Age ranged between 23 to 55 years (average, 38 years). According to A.O. Classification 13 cases were Type A 2.1, 9 cases were Type A 2.1 (II), and 8 cases were Type A 3.2. Seven cases were open fractures and according to Gustilo Anderson classification 4 cases were Grade (I), 3cases were Grade (II). All cases were treated by in...
