0 likes•455 views
External fixater can be used for trochantric fractures as an alternative to surgery for patients whose medical condition does not allow for surgery. It can be done under local anesthesia for lean, thin patients as it is more likely to fail in obese patients. The fracture must be a stable type with an intact lateral cortex for external fixater to be effective.

This document contains 60 case summaries from a radiology resident. Each case lists radiographic findings and impressions for different patients. The cases cover a range of musculoskeletal issues including tendon tears, fractures, arthritis, and other joint abnormalities.
Blister Aneurysms
Vipul Gupta discusses the management of small blister aneurysms, which are rare and characterized by a hemispherical shape and fragile walls. Endovascular treatment is challenging due to their small size and friable nature. Overlapping stents are often needed to retain coils and prevent rupture or continued growth. Newer options include flow diverters, which may provide better occlusion than single or overlapping stents alone. Careful antiplatelet protocols are important. While flow diverters appear safe and effective for internal carotid artery blisters, their role in other locations requires more study. Ongoing advances aim to improve outcomes for these high-risk lesions.

This case report describes a 15-year-old boy named Ankit who was treated for chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia with an infected non-union bone gap at the District Hospital in Barabanki. Ankit had a segment of the tibia bone extruding from its bed, leading to a non-union of the bone. The doctors used Charnley compression clamps incorporated into a Jess external fixator frame to squeeze off the infected bone segment over 7 days. After corticotomy and fibula cutting, distraction was performed over 3 weeks and the wound eventually healed, restoring length after 6 weeks.

The normal foot has an arch that allows it to bend and flex during walking or running. In contrast, vertical talus is a rare birth defect where the foot is rigid with no arch and the heel and front of the foot point upwards instead of flat on the ground. This makes walking difficult without special braces or surgery to reconstruct the arch and tendons.
Knee biomechanics dr.bhuvanesh
This document discusses knee biomechanics and provides definitions of key concepts. It summarizes the biomechanics of the knee joint, including range of motion, meniscus function, ligament function, and alignment. Key points are that the knee is a hinge joint with rolling and sliding motion. The menisci absorb shock, distribute load, and aid lubrication. The ACL and PCL prevent unwanted translation of the tibia. Proper lower extremity alignment and the Q-angle are important for knee function.
Congenital clubfoot
Congenital clubfoot is a deformity of the foot characterized by equinus, inversion, cavus, and adduction. It occurs in 1-2 per 1000 births and is more common in males. The Ponseti technique involving serial casting and Achilles tenotomy has a success rate of 90% and is the preferred treatment. Complications can include relapse, residual deformity, or abnormal gait if not properly corrected.
Foot injuries
This document discusses various foot injuries in three areas: rearfoot, midfoot, and forefoot. In the rearfoot, it describes plantar fasciitis, fat pad contusion, and calcaneal stress fractures. Plantar fasciitis is a degenerative condition of the plantar fascia caused by repetitive microtrauma. Fat pad contusions result from falls onto the heel. Stress fractures of the calcaneus can be seen on bone scans. In the midfoot, it discusses navicular stress fractures, extensor tendonitis, and midtarsal joint sprains. Navicular stress fractures require bone scans and CT scans for diagnosis. Extensor tendonitis causes dorsal midfoot pain. In the fore
Knee biomechanics
The document summarizes the anatomy and function of the knee joint. It describes the articulating surfaces of the patella and femur, the muscles that act on the knee joint as flexors, extensors, and rotators, and how the angle of pull of the quadriceps femoris muscle is increased by the patella acting as a pulley. It also discusses the Q-angle and how increased or decreased angles can impact patellofemoral contact pressures.

Tibial fracture
A 18-year-old female presented with tibial pain after increased physical activity in training camp. MR imaging showed findings consistent with a fatigue fracture of the tibia. Fatigue fractures typically show edema and bone marrow changes on MR imaging before the development of an overt fracture. Increased stress can cause microscopic cracks and osteopenia leading to resorption cavities that may join to cause a fatigue fracture if the inciting activity is not decreased.
Femoral neck fractures
Femoral neck fractures most commonly occur in elderly patients due to osteoporosis and osteopenia. Displaced fractures have higher rates of complications like nonunion and osteonecrosis compared to non-displaced fractures. Treatment depends on fracture displacement and patient factors, ranging from non-surgical management of non-displaced fractures to internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, or total hip arthroplasty for displaced fractures. Large randomized controlled trials have shown that arthroplasty results in better functional outcomes and fewer reoperations compared to internal fixation for displaced fractures in healthy elderly patients.
Journal Club
This study investigated cardiovascular and gastrointestinal outcomes in clopidogrel users who were also taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) using a large cohort of patients in the Netherlands. The study found that clopidogrel users who were also taking PPIs had a 75% higher risk of cardiovascular events compared to clopidogrel-only users. However, the study had limitations such as channeling bias since PPI users had more risk factors, and residual confounding since important risk factors could not be adjusted for. While providing useful insights, the study's findings on the risks of PPI co-administration should be interpreted cautiously due to its limitations.
knee biomechanics
The knee is made up of four bones that interact in two joints: the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints. These joints allow flexion/extension, rotation, and translation while providing load transfer. The knee flexes from 0-135 degrees, and the femoral condyles translate posteriorly during flexion. The tibia externally rotates in extension and internally rotates in flexion, locking the knee. Larger Q angles increase risk of lateral patellar subluxation. Forces through the knee increase with activity from 0.3 times body weight while walking to 7 times body weight while squatting.
Femur fracture
This document discusses various types of femoral fractures including: femoral head fractures, femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, subtrochanteric fractures, and distal femur fractures. It provides details on mechanisms of injury, clinical presentation, imaging, classification systems, and treatment approaches for each type of femoral fracture. Nonoperative and operative treatment options are described depending on the fracture pattern and patient factors.
1. biomechanics of the knee joint basics
This document provides an overview of the biomechanics of the knee complex. It describes the knee as the largest and most complex joint, consisting of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints. The knee functions to flex and extend the leg, support body weight, and facilitate locomotion. Key components include the articular surfaces, menisci, capsule, collateral and cruciate ligaments, muscles, bursae, and plicae. The document outlines the roles and mechanics of each of these structures, as well as common injuries associated with the knee.
Proximal tibia fracture
This document discusses proximal tibial fractures, including:
- Types of tibial plateau and tibial spine fractures are described based on the Hohl and Moore and Schatzker classifications.
- Mechanisms of injury typically involve shear, compressive, valgus or varus forces.
- Evaluation involves physical exam including neurovascular assessment, imaging like x-rays and CT to classify the fracture.
- Management depends on the fracture type but may involve temporary stabilization, open reduction and internal fixation, with approaches like lateral or medial parapatellar depending on the fracture pattern.
Management of tibial plateau fracture
This document provides an overview of the management of tibial plateau fractures. The goals of management are to restore joint congruity, preserve the normal mechanical axis, achieve a stable joint, and restore knee motion. Surgical treatment is indicated for fractures with articular depression over 2mm, condylar widening over 5mm, or instability. Implant options include plating, screws, external fixation, and hybrid fixation depending on the fracture pattern and soft tissue injury. Schatzker classification and AO/OTA classification are discussed to characterize the fracture personality and guide appropriate treatment.
X-ray spine
X-rays are commonly used to image the spine. The cervical spine can be imaged using anteroposterior, lateral, open mouth, flexion/extension, and oblique views. Key anatomical structures like the vertebrae and discs can be evaluated. Common fractures include teardrop fractures and hangman's fractures. The thoracolumbar spine is also imaged with AP and lateral views. Unstable injuries like burst fractures involve vertebral body collapse while stable injuries include wedge fractures. Spondylolysis is a stress fracture of the pars interarticularis seen best on oblique views.
Tibial plateau fractures
This document provides an overview of tibial plateau fractures, including anatomy, classification systems, mechanisms of injury, diagnosis, and management. It describes the Shatzker and AO/OTA classification systems. Diagnosis involves history, physical exam, and imaging like X-rays, CT, and MRI. Treatment depends on the fracture type but generally involves closed reduction for nondisplaced fractures and open reduction with internal fixation using plates, screws, or external fixation for displaced fractures to restore alignment and the articular surface. Complications can include infection, DVT, loss of fixation, and posttraumatic arthritis.
Tibial plateau
This document discusses the classification, treatment principles, and surgical techniques for tibial plateau fractures. There are two main subgroups - high-energy fractures in young patients and low-energy fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients. Treatment goals are to decompress soft tissues, reconstruct the joint surface and mechanical axis, and allow early motion. Surgical approaches include anterior, medial, and lateral. Fixation methods depend on the fracture but may include plates, screws, hybrid fixators, or less invasive systems like LISS. Good outcomes can be achieved with anatomical reduction, rigid joint fixation, and functional stabilization of the metaphysis while restoring soft tissue stability.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance
