Abstract: Fractures of the thoracolumbar (TL) vertebrae are common. Optimal surgical management aims to enhance movement and provide long-term stability. Short segment posterior spinal fixation (SSPSF) provides better movement, has less economic burden, but superiority over long segment posterior spinal fixation (LSPSF) remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to report the difference between SSPSF versus LSPSF with regards to loss of correction measured with Cobb’s angle in patients with single level unstable burst TL vertebral fractures.

Prospective Study Pages 494-498
Abstract: Varus equines club foot (VEBF) is a complex, three-dimensional deformity characterized by equines and Varus of the hind foot, adduction of the forefoot and supination of the foot. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the preliminary results of the treatment of equines varus clubfoot by the Ponseti method.

Abstract: Screw entry point and trajectory (the alpha angle) are essential to ensure appropriate graft position in the Bristow Latarjet procedure. A high alpha angle may occur in patients with a large soft tissue envelope, where adequate medial positioning of the drill and guide can be challenging. This study investigated the effect of using a longer drill bit and soft tissue guide during the procedure to improve the starting position and drill trajectory and whether this can result in improved postoperative screw alpha angle.

Abstract: An Abnormal anatomical variation of any part of the body is a predictor of functional aberration of that part. Congenital talipes equinovarus imposes some functional compromise on the foot, resulting in structural adaptation or modification of the local anatomy in conformity with the direction of the structural stress that subserves the abnormal function. The foot deformities of congenital talipes equinovarus interfere with the locomotive ability of the individual by alteration of gait biomechanical parameters, leading to an imbalance in the gait. Evidence suggests that 80% of infants with congenital talipes equinovarus deformity live in developing countries.

Abstract: To investigate effect of miniature plate internal fixation in the treatment of patella fracture. From January 2019 to January 2020, 11 patients with patella fracture were treated with miniature plate fixation and clinical databases were retrospectively reviewed. The perioperative and postoperative outcomes were included. The average operation and hospital stay time was 45 minutes and 7 days respectively. Range of motion (ROM), knee society scores (KSS) and Lysholm scores was related to a greater increase. No patients have nonunion, infection and revision.

Abstract: Malreduction of the syndesmosis during fixation of ankle fractures is often missed on radiographs, and is reported in over 50% of cases when confirmed with CT scans

Abstract: Osteoporotic bone fractures present a surgical challenge for fixation and are associated with significant morbidity. We present a case of failed internal fixation of fracture shaft femur in a 74-year-old patient with osteoporosis. Fracture fixation was done using an extra medullary locking plate with an intramedullary cortical strut graft as a hybrid fixation technique, a Locking Plate Allograft Construct.

Abstract: Tarsal Coalition is a musculoskeletal deformity of the lower limb with a progression that is often asymptomatic until ossification of the calcaneoavicular coalition in the second decade. We report a novel case of a patient symptomatic before ossification of the coalition with resolution of symptoms coinciding with visual appreciation of the condition.
