Congenital pseudoarthrosis of tibia is a failure of normal bone formation in the distal half of the tibia, often leading to a segmental defect and bowing of the bone. It is most commonly caused by neurofibromatosis, which is present in 40-80% of cases. Pathology shows thickened periosteum and fibrous tissue surrounding the tibia, preventing callus formation and bone healing. Treatment aims to fully excise the soft tissue, correct angular deformity, stimulate bone healing, and properly fixate bone fragments, often through the Ilizarov technique or intramedullary nailing with bone grafting. Complications can include non-union, refracture, malalignment and

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. INTRODUCTION
Failure of normal bone formation in the distal half of the tibia
segmental defect of bone
Anterolateral angulation
Pathological fracture
3. Etiology
NEUROFIBROMATOSIS:
most common cause in about 40-80% cases
hallmarks like café-au-lait spots and skin nodules
Absent at birth and appears later
Fibrous dysplasia
Idiopathic
4. PATHOLOGY
Site is usually surrounded by thickened periosteum and fibrous tissue
Thickened periosteum results in hamartomatous tissue
Failure of callus formation resulting in pseudoarthrosis
Appearance of strangulation of bone with atrophic changes followed by
avascular changes
Failure of remodeling of bone results in stress fracture
5. Histopathology
Fibrous hamartoma is the key pathology
Low osteogenicity and high osteoclastogenicity
Soft tissue at the pseudoarthrotic site is composed of variable of fibrous
tissue, fibrocartilage and hyaline cartilage with evidence of endochondral
ossification
Marrow spaces are devoid of hematopoiesis
This invasive fibromatosis is located in the periosteum and between broken
bone ends and surrounds the tibia causing compression, osteolysis and
persistence of pseudoarthrosis
8. Dysplastic
Diameter of tibia is narrowed
Hourglass constriction is characteristic
Tibia is bowed anteriorly or anterolaterally
Prone to non- union and refracture
Neurofibromatosis is always present in the dysplastic type
It may be present at birth and develop at an average of 12 months
9. Cystic type
Cyst like lesion in the affected segment
No significant narrowing of diameter of tibia
It may be present at about 8 months
Neurofibromatosis not associated
10. Late type
Affected leg shows length discrepancy
After minimum trauma a stress fracture like break occurs with consequent
development of pseudoarthrosis.
Not associated with neurofibromatosis
Anterior bowing develops between age of 4 and 12 years
11. Club foot type
Fracture present at birth in a leg with marked anterior angulation
The involved or contralateral lower limb has other associated congenital
abnormalities such
constriction band
club foot
12. Angulated pseudoarthrosis
Due to corrective osteotomy of anterior bowing of tibia
Osteotomy results in pseudoarthrosis
Therefore,simple osteotomy of anterior angulation is contraindicated
13. BOYDS CLASSIFICATION
Type I
Type II
TypeIII
TypeIV
Type V
Type VI
Anterior bowing with tibia defect
Pseudoarthrosis with hour glass constriction
Pseudoarthrosis with bone cyst
Sclerotic segments,March fracture
Dysplastc fibula
Interosseous neurofibroma

21. CLINICAL FEATURES
Anterolateral,anterior rarely anteromedial bowing of the dysplastic tibia and
fibula
Tibia and fibula affected at the same level
Bowing increases during the first two years of life and eventually develops
pseudoarthrosis
Patient walks with a limp or unable to walk
22.
23. Criteria for diagnosis
Mutiple café-au-lait spots(smooth edged,>0.5cm)
Positive family history of neurofibromatosis
Definite biopsy
Bony lesions like pseudoarthrosis of the tibia
24. Radiological features
Segment of tibia or tibia and fibula show hourglass thinning, sclerosis and
loss of medullary cavity
Angulation at two levels proximally and distally with dysplastic changes
25.
26.
27. Treatment
Complete excision of the soft tissue fibromatosis at the site of
pseudoarthrosis
Correction of angular deformity
Stimulation of bone healing
Proper fixation of bone fragments
28. Treatment methods
Ilizarov method
Vascularized fibular graft
Extending intramedullary nailing and bone grafting
Electrical stimulation
31. Intramedullary rod fixation
The procedure of choice for the first attempt to gain union entails resection
of pseudoarthrosis, shortening and fixation with an intramedullary rod and
autogenous bone grafting
The procedure can be performed can be performed at an y age and rates
of union of around 85% .
34. Refracture
Shortening
Valgus deformity
Splint the limb until skeletal
maturity,retain intramedullary nail
Union of pseudo arthrosis as early as
possible, limb equalization procedure
Ensure union of fibular pseudoarthrosis
Retain intramedullary rod that crosses
the ankle joint
