ABSTRACT 
INTRODUCTION: Total hip arthroplasty has notable risk of morbidity and mortality from venous thromboembolic events. The purpose of this study was to find out the incidences of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in patients undergoing total hip joint arthroplasty and compare effectiveness and safety of thromboprophylaxis with ...

ABSTRACT 
BACKGROUND: Pediatric forearm fractures are usually managed by conservative methods, however, non-operative treatment is not suitable for displaced unstable diaphyseal fractures which require surgical intervention. Non-operative treatment may lead to significant angular and rotational deformity which is rarely corrected if the children~ 8years. Different surgical techniques are available ...

ABSTRACT 
BACKGROUND: Open reduction and internal fixation is the ideal treatment for displaced unstable lateral condyle humerus fractures. Very few studies have focused on closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) for displaced lateral condyle humerus fractures in children. We prospectively studied CRPP for displaced lateral condyle fractures (except completely ...

ABSTRACT 
BACKGROUND: Fracture shaft of femur is one of the most common major pediatric injuries. Management of femoral diaphyseal fractures is controversial in the age group of 6-16 years. We aim to study the short term outcome and complications of such fractures treated operatively with titanium elastic nail system ...

ABSTRACT 
BACKGROUND: Pediatric supracondylar fractures of humerus are managed with closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation. The cross pinning technique has advantage of stability over lateral pinning but puts the ulnar nerve in peril. The lateral pinning technique avoids iatrogenic nerve injury while providing comparable stability. In this study, ...

ABSTRACT 
INTRODUCTION: Fractures of distal tibia pose a challenge due to limited soft tissue and poor vascularity. Treatment of these injuries using minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) technique minimizes soft tissue injury and maintains the vascular integrity of the fracture fragments preserving the biological environment. The objective of ...

ABSTRACT 
Elbow dislocation with coronoid process fracture and bony avulsion oflateral collateral ligament is an unstable type of dislocation. An associated distal radius fracture is a rare type of injury which increases the probability of the distal radius fracture being missed by the attending orthopaedic surgeon. We report a ...
