Temporal value of c-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate after total knee arthroplasty in patients with elevated preoperative c-reactive protein: A matched-pair analysis
Conclusions: When performing TKA in patients with elevated preoperative CRP, the fact that the levels of CRP and ESR may not be normalized until 2 months after surgery should be considered during followup. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

The international knee documentation committee score indicates midterm patient satisfaction with outcomes after meniscal allograft transplantation
Conclusions: The study results support the importance of patient-reported subjective outcomes in terms of patient satisfaction following a surgical procedure. Regarding MAT, the IKDC outcome score reflects patient satisfaction. Level of evidence: Level III. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

The effect of renal transplantation in end-stage renal failure patients undergoing total hip replacement
Conclusion: ESRF patients who undergo THR experience improvements in functional outcome regardless of transplant status. There was no significant difference in postoperative functional outcomes between the two groups of patients, but patients with renal transplants are less likely to experience postoperative complications and have better survival.

Outcomes of core decompression with or without nonvascularized fibular grafting in avascular necrosis of femoral head: Short term followup study
Conclusion: CD with or without fibular grafting is effective in preserving the sphericity of the femoral head and to delay the progression of the AVN of femoral head in the early stages, that is, Stage 1 and Stage 2 and aids in the early revascularization of ischemic femoral head and is a useful modality to negate or delay the requirement of THA.

The effect of intensive abductor strengthening on postoperative muscle efficiency ands functional ability of hip-fractured patients: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusions: Compared to the standard physiotherapy intervention, the intensive abductor-strengthening program significantly increased both abductors' isometric strength of the fractured hip and abductor ratio% and resulted in patients' enhanced functional level.

Efficacy of different posterior capsulotomies on dislocations in hip hemiarthroplasty: T-shaped capsulotomy versus longitudinal capsulotomy
Conclusion: Capsule integrity can be achieved through a strong capsule repair which is possible through hemiarthroplasty with longitudinal capsulotomy. Longitudinal capsulotomy is an effective technique in preventing dislocations following hip hemiarthroplasty. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Evaluation of functional outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using southern california orthopedic institute technique
Conclusion: We conclude that the SCOI single-row technique proves to be a good and effective modality of treatment in the arthroscopic management of small-to-medium-sized rotator cuff tears. In Indian population, considering cost-effectiveness, single-row repair of rotator cuff tears using SCOI technique can be an interesting option in its management.

Relation between hypertrophy of teres minor muscle and external rotation lag sign in patients with rotator cuff pathology
Conclusion: ERLS will be negative in patients with hypertrophy of TM in the setting of posterosuperior cuff tears. There is a strong correlation between cuff tears and hypertrophy of TM muscle, which helps in better prognosis and functional outcome of the patients treated with surgical intervention.

Clinical and structural outcomes after arthroscopic repair of medium- to massive-sized delaminated and nondelaminated rotator cuff tears
Conclusions: A weak linear correlation between delamination and increasing size of the tear was noted. Although overall structural and clinical outcome is no different between two groups, the clinical outcomes of completely healed tear are better than partially healed ones. Level of Evidence: Level III, Retrospective comparative. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Concurrent index-to-little finger dorsal dislocations of the carpometacarpal joints with carpal bone fractures
Ki-Tae Na, Sang-Uk Lee, Sun-Young Joo, Jin-Young NhoIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2019 53(2):374-376A 32-year-old man presented with simultaneous dorsal dislocations of the index-to-little finger carpometacarpal (CMC) joint with carpal bone fractures. Closed reduction was unsuccessful even after general anesthesia. During open dorsal approach, we found interposed joint capsule in the CMC joints and after removal of the joint capsule open reduction was easily achieved. We placed four Kirschner wires through the CMC joint. Furthermore, the fractured dorsal fragments of the trapezoid and hamate were fixed with mini screw in ...
