Complex tibial plateau fractures treated by hybrid external fixation system: A correlation of followup computed tomography derived quality of reduction with clinical results
Conclusions: The postoperative CT-scan shows important information about bone healing, and an exact image of the reduction and the shaft alignment. Postoperative radiographs may have led to an underestimation of the degree of residual displacement. On the contrary, CT-scan demonstrates the exact grade of articular displacement and depending on CT-scan results one can better manage the postoperative rehabilitation.

Epidemiological profile of femoral head osteonecrosis in the North Indian population
Conclusion: ONFH in the North Indian patients is a disease of young individuals with male predominance. Steroid intake is most commonly observed in these patients followed by idiopathic, chronic alcohol consumption, and trauma. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Complications associated with locking plate of proximal humerus fractures
This study reviews the current complications associated with locking plate of proximal humerus fractures as well as methods to reduce them. A systematic review, following the PRISMA guidelines, was conducted in November 2013 and repeated in March 2015, using PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases, to evaluate locking plate fixation (and complications) of traumatic proximal humerus fractures. Inclusion criteria included adults (>18 years), minimum of 12-month postoperative followup, articles within the last 5 years, and studies with >10 participants. Exclusion criteria included pathologic fractures, ca...

Drug-resistant spinal tuberculosis
Anil K Jain, Karan Raj Jaggi, Himanshu Bhayana, Rumpa SahaIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2018 52(2):100-107
Drug-resistant spinal tuberculosis (TB) is an emerging health problem in both developing and developed countries. In this review article, we aim to define management protocols for suspicion, diagnosis, and treatment of such patients. Spinal TB is a deep-seated paucibacillary lesion, and the demonstration of acid-fast bacilli on Ziehl-Neelsen staining is possible only in 10%–30% of cases. Drug resistance is suspected in patients showing the failure of clinicoradiological improvement...

Spontaneous conventional osteosarcoma transformation of a chondroblastoma: A case report and literature review
Prashant Narhari, Amber Haseeb, Serene Lee, Vivek Ajit SinghIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2018 52(1):87-90Chondroblastomas are a primary benign cartilaginous tumor that accounts for approximately 1% of all benign bone tumors. Primarily they are treated by curettage. The patient presented 4 years after a successfully treated chondroblastoma (curettage and Bone cement). Wide resection of the proximal tibia with endoprosthesis replacement was done. Lung CT showed multiple lung metastasis and despite starting chemotherapy, he succumbed to the disease. We discuss regarding the possibilities of “aggressi...

Could routine magnetic resonance imaging detect local recurrence of musculoskeletal sarcomas earlier ? A cost-effectiveness study
Conclusion: Earlier diagnosis could have led to altered management in one-third of those patients with the potential to have their LR diagnosed earlier. If all patients had regular magnetic resonance imaging, it would cost £6987 per recurrence where management was altered in imaging costs alone. We suggest a stratified approach whereby patients at highest risk of LR and those in whom early detection of LR may be easily treatable are prioritised for more intensive followup.
