1) Neer's classification system which categorizes fractures based on displacement of fragments into 1, 2, 3, or 4-part fractures or fracture-dislocations.
2) Important anatomical factors like the relationship between the articular head and tuberosities which impact fracture patterns.
3) Pre-operative planning involves accurate imaging like radiographs and CT scans to identify fracture characteristics to guide treatment.
1) Clavicle fractures are generally treated non-operatively as they heal well with conservative treatment. However, displaced or comminuted fractures may require surgery.
2) Indications for surgical treatment include fractures with over 2cm of displacement or shortening, multiple fracture fragments, open or impending open fractures, and associated injuries.
3) Surgical techniques include plate fixation, intramedullary pinning, and external fixation. Plate fixation provides the most stable fixation but has higher surgical morbidity.
4) Potential postoperative issues include scar sensitivity, hardware irritation, numbness, and nonunion or malunion which may require further surgery. Overall clavicle fractures have good prognosis with either non-operative or surgical treatment
Lateral condyle fractures of the elbow are common in children between ages 6-10 years. They occur when a varus force is applied to an extended elbow. These fractures are prone to displacement and nonunion due to pull from forearm extensors and being bathed in synovial fluid. Treatment depends on the amount of displacement, with undisplaced fractures often treated non-operatively and displaced fractures requiring closed or open reduction and internal fixation. Complications can include ulnar nerve palsy, osteonecrosis, nonunion, and cubitus deformities.
Dr. yt reddy distal radius fractures modifiedvaruntandra
This document discusses distal radius fractures, including their history, anatomy, classification, diagnosis, and treatment options. It provides an overview of the key aspects of distal radius fractures such as their incidence, mechanisms of injury, radiographic assessment criteria, and various treatment approaches including casting, percutaneous pinning, external fixation, and internal fixation."
This document discusses injuries around the elbow, including elbow dislocations, fractures of the radial head, olecranon fractures, and fractures of the neck of the radius. It covers the epidemiology, mechanisms of injury, clinical features, classifications, treatment principles and options, complications, and rehabilitation for each of these common elbow injuries. Surgical treatment may be indicated for unstable or displaced fractures to restore anatomy and stability, while simpler injuries can often be treated non-operatively with splinting and physical therapy.
Dr. nagamunindrudu fractures of scaphoidvaruntandra
This document discusses fractures of the scaphoid bone in the wrist. It begins with the anatomy and biomechanics of the scaphoid bone. It then discusses the typical mechanism of injury being a fall on an outstretched hand. It describes the classification, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment options for both stable and unstable scaphoid fractures. Treatment depends on factors like location, displacement and chronicity of the fracture. Complications like non-union, malunion and avascular necrosis are also reviewed.
Dr. ms goud management of forearm fracturesvaruntandra
The document discusses the anatomy, biomechanics, classification systems, treatment options, and complications of forearm fractures. It provides details on the bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles of the forearm. Furthermore, it examines various forearm fracture patterns and treatments such as plating, intramedullary nailing, and external fixation. Proper treatment aims to restore alignment, length, rotation, and blood supply to promote healing.
Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common elbow injuries in children, accounting for about 60% of cases, and involve the area just above the elbow. These fractures are classified into 3 types - Type I is nondisplaced, Type II is displaced with an intact posterior cortex, and Type III is completely displaced with no cortical contact. Treatment involves closed or open reduction and pin fixation or casting depending on the fracture type and stability.
This document provides an overview of humerus shaft fractures, including:
- Epidemiology showing they are most common in young males from high-energy trauma and elderly females from low-energy mechanisms.
- Classification systems including the AO classification system.
- Treatment options of non-operative management with splinting or bracing for most fractures, and operative options including plating or intramedullary nailing for displaced or unstable fractures.
- Surgical approaches and techniques for plating and nailing are also described.
This document discusses knee contractures, their causes, and treatment methods. It begins by defining knee contracture and noting that it can be difficult to differentiate intra-articular and extra-articular components clinically or radiographically. Common causes are discussed, including fractures and immobilization. Treatment methods include manipulation under anesthesia, quadricepsplasty techniques like Thompson and Judet quadricepsplasty, and newer mini-invasive or arthroscopy assisted approaches. Postoperative management focuses on early mobilization and physical therapy. Good outcomes are noted with gains in range of motion, though extension lags can sometimes occur.
The recurrent giant cell tumor is an aggressive bone tumor with a high rate of local recurrence after treatment. Curettage and bone grafting is commonly used to treat giant cell tumors but has a 25-50% recurrence rate. More extensive procedures like extended curettage, adjuvants like phenol or liquid nitrogen, and bone grafts may reduce the recurrence rate to around 10-30%. Radiology and histology cannot reliably predict recurrence. Higher levels of VEGF and MMP-9 expression in tumor tissue may indicate a higher risk of recurrence. Recurrences are generally treated with repeat curettage or more aggressive procedures like resection and reconstruction. Amputation is reserved for tumors that are frankly malignant or too large to be adequately treated
1. Neglected wrist trauma, especially distal radius fractures, are common injuries that are often overlooked.
2. Malunions of distal radius fractures can lead to deformities like shortening, angulation, and rotational abnormalities that disrupt the biomechanics of the wrist.
3. Surgical management of neglected wrist injuries focuses on correcting deformities through osteotomies and bone grafting, restoring radial length and angle, and addressing ulnar-sided problems through procedures like ulnar shortening. Late stage treatment may require salvage procedures like wrist fusion.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

• Enter in the table
• Approve the changes already done
• See images
• Give proper legend
• Most important – keep timeline – do prompt revision
• Difference between good publication and rejection
52. Need to be careful while revising
It is easier to reject if author does not answer or is
aggressive in language of revision
Very basic-
If the peers and editor’s are not able to understand
inspite of communication
Than
How the readers will understand
53.
54.
55. Decision on case report
New information about a rare condition
New or improved method of diagnosis and treatment
Should be succint
56. Case reports not accepted
Rare , unusual , but obvious diagnosis and established
treatment
Just rarity – not prefered
Rare but obscure diagnosis or treatment not obvious
Missed diagnosis – not a reason
Well known tumor in a new location
Rare organism in an unsuspected location
New operation in one patient
57. Case reports sometimes accepted
Reader will benefit from awareness article, quality of
review, educational material
Time has elapsed since it was reported
Summarily should contain educational material - to
evaluate diagnose and care the patient
58. Why rejected
Study is not methodically conducted
Retrospective thought of making a manuscript after
seeing few cases
59. Why rejected
Not written well – Not clear
what is the study
how done – I can’t repeat the study
How saying – something is good or bad
Not clear - significance of the difference in outcome
Not clear - Is the research question answered
Not supported by evidence in literature
60. Exercise of editorial decisions
To present your work-
Crisp presentation
Concise
Present in a manner that it is read
In nutshell looks after the author’s interest and
interest of the readers
61. Editors
Are not hostile to you
To help you – to bring best out of your good work
Do not get any benefit
Do for the love to science
Let us work together to make best out of your work
62. Take Home Message
- Authors should use the editor’s and reviewer’s
comments to try to improve their manuscript, even if
it has been rejected initially
- Requests for revision should be viewed positively as it
is an indication of sufficient potential merit by the
journal
- Before submitting a revised manuscript, it is very
important to answer every point raised by the editor
and reviewers.
