Conclusions:</b> With a 43% association of the medial sheath lesion with SLAP lesions, the author postulates that forces that affect the biceps anchor may also damage the pulley system of the bicipital sheath and, as such, this anatomic structure should be evaluated, especially when SLAP lesions are present.

Clinical and radiological instability following standard fenestration discectomy

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion:</b> The favorable outcome of this study is in good agreement with other studies on microdiscectomy. Clinical instability in 12.04% of the patients is in agreement with other studies. Radiological signs of instability are seen even in asymptomatic patients and so are not as reliable as clinical signs of instability. Standard fenestration discectomy does not destabilize the spine more than microdiscectomy.

Conclusions:</b> The initial conservative management and use of odontoid screw fixation only in cases where conservative management for 6-12 weeks has failed to provide fracture union have shown good outcome in type II odontoid fracture without AA instability rates. Intraoperative manipulation and reduction in patients where AA subluxation failed to reduce on skeletal traction followed by posterior fusion obviates the need for transoral odontoid excision.

Conclusion:</b> In an environment where pathology generally presents very late and often in a dramatic manner, where the patient's socioeconomic status, understanding, compliance, and the logistics of follow-up are consistently a challenge in management, hip arthrodesis has been an important procedure for our patient group, with good short-term results and promising midterm, and, hopefully, long-term prospects. In our series of patients, we have been successful in restoring painfree mobility.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion:</b> Major neurovascular involvement in extremity sarcoma is not considered a contraindication for limb salvage surgery. Review of literature also supports our view. Post-operative wound related complications are more in this group of patients. However, long term functional outcome is good. Literature suggests a good long term local control after vascular resection and reconstruction.

Middela Seshikanth, Kanse PrakashIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2009 43(4):408-411Multiple myeloma is characterized by clonal proliferation of plasma cells usually of the B cell type.The skeletal manifestations are usually osteolytic lesions whose differential diagnosis includes primary and secondary bone tumor. This tumor is characterized by the presence of abnormal paraprotein 8 in blood and urine. However, one to five per cent of the cases do not have any protein. Hence they are termed nonsecretory. It often poses a diagnostic dilemma when it is presented to orthopedic surgeons with no clear features of the disease. Our...

We describe a case of arthroscopic retrieval of a bullet from the hip joint of an 18-year-old boy, who sustained the injury four months back, accidentally, while bird hunting with a country made shotgun. The surgery was performed with the standard ordinary instrumentation of knee arthroscopy. The patient became pain-free the same evening and started partial weight bearing on the next day of surgery. At 13 months follow-up, the patient had returned to normal activity without any functional limitations.

Direct invasion of the bone from a cutaneous melanoma is unknown. Hence, this case is presented in view of its rarity.

Conclusions:</b> Most of surgeons performed FGI before the age of 40, but for others, patient criteria such as job (heavier job), physical examination (especially myelopathy) and imaging findings (mild degenerative changes on X-ray and signal change in the spinal cord on MRI) were considered significant for performing FGI.

Conclusion:</b> A TISIB procedure relies on the principles of fracture treatment: fracture stabilisation and compression.

A near-immediate improvement is noticed when looking at the VAS score, analgesics consumption, and the ability to perform ADLs.

Conclusions:</b> Most of surgeons performed FGI before the age of 40, but for others, patient criteria such as job (heavier job), physical examination (especially myelopathy) and imaging findings (mild degenerative changes on X-ray and signal change in the spinal cord on MRI) were considered significant for performing FGI.

Conclusion:</b> A TISIB procedure relies on the principles of fracture treatment: fracture stabilisation and compression. The incapacitating problem of an insufficiency fracture of the sacrum can be elegantly solved by means of this minimally invasive procedure. A near-immediate improvement is noticed when looking at the VAS score, analgesics consumption, and the ability to perform ADLs.

Conclusion</b> : We found the nail very easy to use with effective fixation in AO type A and B fractures in our setting. Less surgical time is required with minimum complications. The main advantage of the expandable nail is that if affords. satisfactory axial, rotatory, and bending stability with decreased radiation exposure to operating staff and the patient.
