Ulnar nerve innervation to triceps: A cadaveric study and a technical note on partial triceps to biceps transfer
Conclusion: This study reveals the presence of dual nerve innervation to triceps in 43.8% of the Indian population. The clinical implication would be to look for the possible contribution of the ulnar nerve fascicle to the medial head of triceps, which will help us to include the medial head along with the long head of triceps while performing partial triceps-to-biceps tendon transfer, and the other use would be as a donor fascicle when performing a nerve transfer.

Intermittent parathyroid hormone injection can decrease femoral head collapse in the vascular deprivation of rat femoral head model
Conclusion: Intermittent PTH injection could decrease bone resorption and improve bone density, compared to the control group, in vascular deprivation of the femoral head in a rat model. High-level intermittent PTH injection had a better effect than low-level intermittent PTH injection. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

The & #8220;Gastrocnemius & #8211;Achilles Tendon & #8211;Calcaneus complex & #8221;: Different responses after percutaneous versus vulpius achilles tendon lengthening in New Zealand white rabbits
Conclusions: Although PATL leads to greater improvement in dorsal or anterior flexion (TT angle) of the rabbit ankle compared to VATL, it has negative effects on functional outcome as it reduces the contractile capacity of the rabbit muscle unit, ultimately impairing the ability to ambulate and jump.

Management of acquired compressive myelopathy due to spinal fluorosis
Conclusion: Skeletal survey along with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is cost-effective modality for the screening/diagnosis for fluorosis. Once developed, surgery, either curative or palliative, is the best treatment at crippling stage of the disease. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Prospective analysis of functional outcome of single-stage surgical treatment for symptomatic tandem spinal stenosis
Conclusion: Symptomatic TSS can be safely managed by single-stage surgical intervention with good postoperative results or without a significant increase in complication rates. Single-stage surgical intervention helps to relieve the symptoms of both cervical and lumbar spinal cord compression, avoids the risk of repeated anesthesia, reduce the duration of surgery, repeated hospitalization hence, reducing the cost for hospitalization and also reducing the rehabilitation, recuperation time and early functional recovery justifies single-stage surgical intervention.

The use of preoperative and intraoperative pavlov ratio to predict the risk of postoperative C5 palsy after expansive open-door laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy
Conclusions: The preoperative Pavlov ratio <0.65 at the C5 level was more likely to develop the postoperative C5 palsy. When the preoperative Pavlov ratio is <0.65, the postoperative Pavlov ratio ≥1.01 at the C5 level is a reliable predictor for the development of postoperative C5 palsy. Pavlov ratio may be one of the reasons for postoperative C5 palsy. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

New instrumentation improves patient satisfaction and component positioning for mobile-bearing medial unicompartmental knee replacement
Conclusion: Microplasty instrumentation helps the surgeon achieve optimal component positioning and reduces the need for tibial recut. The clinical outcomes are also better with the Microplasty instrumentation. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Epidemiology of revision total knee arthroplasty: A single center & #39;s experience
Conclusion: The volume of first-time RTKA procedures (4%) at our center remained low compared with that of the Western countries. In Western countries, the incidence of late aseptic failures was higher than that of early-septic failures, whereas in our study, revisions were more commonly performed in the early-failure group (48%) and most failures were due to prosthetic infection (61%).

Femoral component alignment with a new extramedullary femoral cutting guide technique
Conclusion: The EM-guided method for femoral bone cutting using PACS films in TKA is as good as the IM method. The additional advantages of less injury to the bone and less fat emboli load to the cardiopulmonary system with the EM method makes it an attractive choice for routine, especially in the elderly and/or simultaneous bilateral, TKA in hospitals without modern computer-assisted navigation systems.

Is achieving high flexion necessary for satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty in Indian patients ?
Conclusions: Ability to perform H-F activities after TKA is not a necessary prerequisite for satisfaction in Indian patients. Implant designs allowing H-F should be used in a selected group of patients with good preoperative knee flexion and specific requirements. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)

Efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid for controlling bleeding during surgical treatment of intertrochanteric fragility fracture with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion: Intravenous TXA is effective in reducing total perioperative blood loss and transfusion rate in IFF treated with PFNA. No increased risk of thrombotic events was observed with the use of TXA; however, this study was underpowered for detecting this outcome. Further research is necessary before TXA can be recommended for high-risk patients. (Source: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics)
