Abstract:

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating disease in orthopedics, frequently progressing to femoral head collapse and osteoarthritis. It is thought to be a multifactorial disease. ONFH ultimately results in femoral head collapse in 75-85% of untreated patients. Total hip arthroplasty yields satisfactory results in the treatment of the end stage of the disease in older patients. However, disease typically affects males between the ages of 20 and 40 years and joint replacement is not the ideal option for younger patients. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP) have been used as an adjunct to core decompression to improve clinical success in the treatment of pre-collapse hips.

Abstract:

The drilling of bone has become a common step in orthopedics and Traumatology for fixation of implants and replacement of damaged joints. For that purpose, monitoring the temperature during drilling is important to avoid the problem of osteonecrosis. Simulation with 3D graphics modelling enables several parameters to be estimated which leads to enhanced clinical outcomes.

Abstract:

Objectives: Despite the progress in understanding acute pain physiology during recent decade, eighty percent of patients still suffer from post-operative discomfort. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant agent that is approved for painful neuropathies in diabetic patients and post herpetic neuralgia. The main objective of the present study was to compare the improvement in post-operative pain management and patient lifestyle in 3 groups, as first group received placebo, second who received Pregabalin for one day and the last group those who received it for 14 days.

Methods: This was a prospective single center, randomized, triple-blind, 3-arm, parallel group study. In this triple-blind study, patients were allocated to 1 of 3 groups. All the patients were operated based on standard surgery techniques, bilateral foramenotomy and interlaminar discectomy. The first group received placebo for 14 days, the second group received Pregabalin 300mg 8 hours preoperatively and 150mg 12 and 24 hours postoperatively and for the rest of 13 days received placebo and  the third group received Pregabalin 300mg eight hours preoperatively and 15omg every 12 hours postoperatively for 14 days. Name, age, gender, height, weight, education, duration of pain, past medical history, drug history ,total morphine requirement at the time of discharge and MRI findings of all the patients were recorded, also the Numerical scale system (NRS) and Oswestry low back pain disability index (ODI) questionnaire were completed for them .

Abstract:

Background: Acromioclavicular joint dislocation is one of the most common shoulder problems in general orthopedics practices. The aim of this study is to evaluate a modified augmentation technique for AC joint dislocations in order to change the suture knot location to sub-clavicular position.

Methods: Seventy-two patients with type IV and V acromioclavicular joint dislocation were operated with this modified technique. A 1mm doubled Ethibond suture is entangled between two flip buttons. For this attachment, the Ethibond cerclage is performed through the flip buttons via their internal eyelets, but in modified method the two limbs of stitches are between the two flip buttons.

Results: The main mechanism of injury in fifty seven patients was motor vehicle accident and in 15 other patients was falling trauma. The SST demonstrated statistically significant improvement (P < 0.05).Total UCLA score demonstrated an improvement from a mean and SD of 23.21 ± 3.46 before surgery to 34.03 ± 2.39 post surgery, with 63 shoulders achieving excellent or good scores (87.5%) and 9 having a fair score (12.5%).

Abstract:

There are different ways of management of long bones fractures and the most common  is conservative with closed reduction and plaster. With the advancing techonology, operative management is increasing in certain cases. The common methods of operative management are fixation with  pin and plaster, k-wires, rush pins, kuntscher nails and plating. We treated 131 long bones fractures with intramedullary rush pins within 12 hours of injury and immobilized in slab for 1 month from August 2011 to July 2016.  There were 62 both bone forearm fractures, 43 shaft of femur fractures and 26 shaft of tibia fractures. There were 25 open fractures and  4 multiple fractures. They were between 3 to 16 years of age. There were 65 males and 41 females.  All the fractures united in  6 weeks to 3 months time. There were no infections, no refracture, no deformity and no any other complications with relatively  less morbidity. Operative treatment with intramedullary rush pins in pediatric long bones fractures especially in multiple and open fractures is effective ,safe and with good outcome and  less morbidity.

Abstract:

Objective: To assess the functional outcome and the time of healing in supracondylar femur fractures fixed with intramedullary tibial nail.

Methods:It was a randomized control trial study comprising of 25 patients with closed supracondylar femoral fractures operated with tibial intramedullary nail in Al Noor speciality hospital during a period of four years (2009-2013). The functional outcome was measured by Tegner Lysholm criteria during and after 4 years.

Results:

Out of 25 patients 20 were male and 5 were female. The mean time of healing was 15.80(2.646) weeks. 6(24%) patients showed excellent results, 12(48%) patients showed good results and 7(28%) patients showed fair results. There were no poor results in our study.

Conclusions:

Retrograde tibial nails are cheaper, convenient and comparable option for stabilizing the supracondylar fracture compared to standard retrograde femoral nails

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between being overweight or obese and developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in two large prospective cohorts, the nurses’ health study (NHS 1984-2014) and nurses’ health study II (NHSII 1991-2013). We followed 76,597 women aged 30-55 years enrolled in NHS and 93,392 women aged 25-42 years in NHSII at baseline and free from RA or other connective tissue diseases, who provided lifestyle, environmental exposure and anthropometric information through biennial questionnaires. We used the pooled data from two large cohorts and assessed the association between time-varying body mass index (BMI) in WHO categories of normal, overweight and obese (18.5≤25, 25.0≤0, ≥30.0 kg/m²) and incident RA meeting the 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. We estimated HRs for overall RA and serologic subtypes with Cox regression models adjusted for potential confounders. During 4,832,369 person-years of follow-up, we validated 1220 incident cases of RA. There was a significant trend toward increased risk of all RA among overweight and obese women [HR (95% CI): 1.23 (1.08, 1.40) and 1.36 (1.17, 1.58), p for trend=0.001]. Among RA women aged 55 years or younger, this association appeared stronger [HR 1.48 (1.20, 1.81) for overweight and 1.76 (1.42, 2.20) for obese women (p trend <0.001)]. In conclusion, risks of RA were elevated among overweight and obese women, particularly among young or middle aged women.

Biography:

He had this rare privilege and honor of doing this work at the University of Liverpool, UK along with Dr. Martin A Elloy, PhD, (A biomechanical study of fixation of femoral neck fractures. PhD Thesis, University of Liverpool, Liverpool 1977). a biomedical  Engineer who was instrumental in helping me in the cadaveric study prior to clinical application in patients to device a Modified Posterior Approach to the Hip Joint at a time when dislocations were the main reason for the conventional Posterior Approach to the Hip Joint not being used despite of having all its advantages. He was formerly General Manager of Chas F Thackray Ltd and was at that time associated with Sir John Charnley at Wrightinton. I first presented this research at Singapore in 1984, when it was appreciated by Emeritis Professor, Robert Cofield of the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, USA and I have been following this approach till today along with citations

Abstract:

The posterior approach is the most common and relatively easy to expose the hip joint. The posterior approaches allow excellent visualization of the acetabulum and the upper femoral shaft and hence, are very popular in revision joint replacement surgery particularly in cases where only the femoral component needs to be replaced. This modification offers greater visibility and decreased blood loss to the hip joint, conferring greater stability posteriorly as compared with the conventional posterior approach as described by Austin Moore in 1957. This modification was devised at the time when the cause of dislocation was being blamed on the posterior approach to the hip joint. This approach has been tested on cadavers prior to clinical application in patients, and since bone is attached to bone, it confers greater stability than an ordinary suture through soft tissues and hence reduces dislocation of the hip joint.
