Comparison of magnetic resonance arthrography and wrist arthroscopy in the evaluation of chronic wrist pain in Indian population
Conclusions: The presented diagnostic results of MRA are superior to those of magnetic resonance imaging quoted in literature. MRA is a potent tool for evaluating chronic wrist pain but tends to miss lesions of intrinsic carpal ligaments (SLL and LTL) more than TFCC. Wrist arthroscopy may be recommended when the clinical suspicion is strong. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Outcomes of balloon kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture in rheumatoid arthritis: A case & #8211;control study
Conclusions: The use of KP to treat OVCF in RA group exhibited similar outcomes to non-RA group in terms of pain reduction, vertebral height restoration, and kyphosis correction. However, RA group had significantly higher rate of complications involving adjacent segment fracture and recollapse. Therefore, careful followup after KP in patients with RA is required to monitor for high complication rate. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Surgeon & #39;s neck posture during spine surgeries: & #8220;The unrecognised potential occupational hazard & #8221;
Conclusion: Surgeon's FHP is frequently caused by a compromise between the need to perform surgery with hands, without elevating the arms, and simultaneous control of gaze at surgical field. The usage of microscope was found to reduce the stress on neck while performing surgery. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Arthroscopic excision of angio-fibro-lipomatous hamartoma of the knee: A rare case report
Silvampatti R Sundararajan, Ramakanth Rajagopalakrishnan, Shanmuganathan RajasekaranIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2019 53(6):732-735Angio-fibro-lipomatous hamartoma is a benign adipose tissue tumor very rarely seen in musculoskeletal distribution, and its incidence in the knee joint has never been reported. The patient in our case presented with knee pain of 2 years' duration, following blunt trauma. Preoperatively, veno-lymphatic malformation/hemangioma was considered as the diagnosis. Only after arthroscopic excision biopsy, histopathological examination, retrospective radiological analysis, and a review of l...

Measurement of the whole and midsubstance femoral insertion of the anterior cruciate ligament: The comparison with the elliptically calculated femoral anterior cruciate ligament footprint area
Conclusion: The morphology of the femoral ACL insertion resembles an elliptical shape. However, due to the wide variation in morphology, the femoral ACL insertion cannot be considered mathematically elliptical. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Failure to return to preinjury activity level after hamstring anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Factors involved and considerations in goal setting
Conclusion: Psychological factors are important (and may require targeted input), but return-to-sport is multifactorial. Ongoing symptoms may prompt further surgery, but this is frequently unsuccessful in achieving return. Patient-specific goals should be sought and revisited throughout the rehabilitation program. Acknowledging psychological barriers, in those aiming to return to the same level, may help achieve this goal. In other patients, success may be return to a desired lower level. Understanding the patient's expectations is important in goal setting. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Improved pain and function in knee osteoarthritis with dexamethasone phonophoresis: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion: DxPh resulted in a greater improvement in pain and function in patients with knee OA than therapeutic ultrasound combined with exercise and TENS. The effect size of phonophoresis was clinically significant and higher than that reported for intraarticular steroid injection from pooled data in the literature.
