supracondylar fracrture of humerus in childrenHardik Pawar
Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common elbow fractures in children. They involve the lower end of the humerus just above the elbow joint. Radiographs are used to classify fractures as non-displaced (Type I), displaced with intact posterior cortex (Type II), or completely displaced (Type III). Treatment depends on the type of fracture and presence of displacement. Undisplaced fractures are treated with splinting while displaced fractures may require closed reduction and casting or pinning. Close monitoring of neurovascular status is important due to risk of injury.

It then covers the clinical examination, radiological evaluation, and various approaches and methods for both closed and open reduction and fixation of these fractures, including the use of plates, wires, and temporary fixation. Complications of treatment are also outlined.
1. Bone is composed of cortical and cancellous bone, with cells including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteoprogenitors. Bone remodeling occurs through the actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
2. There are two types of bone formation: endochondral ossification and intramembranous ossification. Fractures can be classified based on location, displacement, and whether the skin is broken (open vs closed fracture).
3. Fracture healing consists of hematoma, proliferation, callus formation, and remodeling phases. Treatment depends on fracture type and may include splinting, casting, traction, closed or open reduction, and internal or external fixation. Management of
supracondylar fracture humerus in childrenHardik Pawar
Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common elbow injuries in children, making up approximately 60% of cases. They typically occur as a result of a fall onto an outstretched hand in children aged 5-7 years old. Radiographs are used to classify fractures as non-displaced (Type I), displaced with an intact posterior cortex (Type II), or completely displaced (Type III). Posteromedial displacement is more common than posterolateral. Physical examination focuses on evaluating neurovascular status and detecting any S-shaped deformity, with nerve injuries occurring in up to 16% of cases.
Osteotomies around the hip can involve the femur or pelvis. Femoral osteotomies include intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and greater trochanteric osteotomies. Pelvic osteotomies involve the acetabulum. Indications include non-union of the femoral neck, osteoarthritis of the hip, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and acetabular dysplasia. Specific procedures discussed include varus, valgus, extension, Pauwels, and periacetabular osteotomies. Complications can include non-union, heterotopic ossification, and loss of fixation.
Ankle fractures are common injuries that require careful evaluation to identify bony and soft tissue damage. The ankle is a complex hinge joint supported by ligaments and the tibia, fibula, talus, and deltoid ligament. Classification systems like Lauge-Hansen and Weber are used to characterize fracture patterns and guide management, which may involve closed treatment for stable injuries or surgery to restore ankle anatomy and stability for unstable fractures. Radiographs are important for diagnosis but CT or MRI may be needed to fully evaluate injury extent.

Orbital fractures require careful repair to restore normal facial appearance and function due to critical structures in the orbit. Anatomical landmarks provide reliable guidance for safe dissection within 30mm of the supraorbital rim and anterior lacrimal crest superiorly and medially, and 25mm from the outer orbital rim inferiorly and laterally. The infraorbital nerve running parallel to the medial orbital wall and the orbital plate of the palatine bone are useful surgical landmarks. Documentation of the eye's condition before and after surgery is important for orbital fractures.

This document discusses musculoskeletal radiology and provides a systematic approach to interpreting plain radiographs of the musculoskeletal system. It aims to describe how to localize disease processes in bones, cartilage, synovium and soft tissues on radiographs. Specific objectives covered include recognizing radiographic features of common fractures, bone diseases, and arthropathies like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. A systematic approach is outlined to assess alignment, bones, cartilage and soft tissues on radiographs. Common fractures of the tibia, Colles' fracture and scaphoid fracture are also described.
This document discusses thoracolumbar fractures, including their biomechanics, patterns of injury, stability classifications, and clinical assessment. Key points include:
- The thoracolumbar spine has three biomechanical regions, with the transition zone of T9-L2 being most prone to injuries from flexion, extension, or rotation.
- Fracture patterns include flexion, extension, burst, compression, Chance, and translational injuries.
- Stability depends on the integrity of the anterior and posterior columns. Burst fractures disrupting both columns are always unstable.
- Flexion distraction and translational injuries involving three columns are highly unstable and may require operative repair.
The document discusses traumatic hip dislocations, including definitions, types, signs and symptoms, classification, and management. It focuses on posterior hip dislocations, describing the mechanism of injury, clinical features such as shortening and rotation of the leg, radiographic evaluation, and closed reduction techniques including the Bigelow maneuver. Traumatic hip dislocations are injuries that require prompt treatment to reduce risks like avascular necrosis and joint damage.
This document discusses the general principles and methods of fracture management, including classification, diagnosis, and treatment options. There are two main treatment approaches - conservative management involving closed reduction, immobilization and traction, and surgical management using open reduction and internal fixation. The goals of treatment are to restore length, axis, and function by anatomical realignment of fragments through either conservative or operative means.
The document discusses maxillary fractures, their classification, and treatment. It notes that René LeFort classified maxillary fractures into 3 types based on the location of fracture lines. LeFort I involves the alveolar process, LeFort II the maxilla and nasal bones, and LeFort III separates the midface from the cranium. Treatment involves reduction using disimpaction forceps followed by fixation methods like wire osteosynthesis, rigid plates, or semi-rigid miniplates depending on the fracture type and location. Complications can include nerve damage, malocclusion, infection, and nonunion if not treated properly.

It begins by thanking various professors and outlines the purpose of studying kyphoplasty's role in managing such fractures by analyzing clinical and radiographic outcomes to evaluate its efficacy and safety. Vertebral compression fractures are a common osteoporosis complication and can cause spinal deformities, pain, disability and reduced function. Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can restore height and provide immediate pain relief with fewer complications than vertebroplasty. The document discusses patient selection criteria, technique, potential complications, and outcomes of kyphoplasty for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
Massive rotator cuff tears present unique challenges for repair. The document discusses techniques for arthroscopic repair based on tear pattern, including releases to improve mobility. For crescent tears, a double row fixation is recommended. L-shaped and U-shaped tears are repaired with side-to-side sutures converging the margin. Massive contracted immobile tears may require interval slides. Outcomes are generally good, though strength deficits can remain. Proper patient selection considering fatty degeneration and mobility is important for success.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Fracture is reduced and fixation is achieved by
transosseous wiring.
Since the bone of infraorbital margin is
delicate, 0.35 mm soft stainless steel wire is
the most useful size to employ.
40. Fixation with a pack in the maxillary sinus
Pack placed whithin the maxillary sinus used
for two purposes:
To support a comminuted fracture of the body of
zygomatic complex- thus pack is directed to the outer
aspect of antrum beneath zygomatic bone.
To support a reconstituted comminuted orbital floor
Approach is made through an incision in the
buccal sulcus
Bone is exposed, a hole into the maxillary sinus
is seen as a result of fracture or a window is
made through the canine fossa.
41. Opening into the maxillary sinus is enlarged ,
and the blood clot and fragments of bone are
evacuated.
Frequently buccal pad of fat herniates into the
sinus through its fractured lateral wall and should
not be mistaken for orbital fat.
Zygomatic bone is either reduced from KEEN'S
APPROACH or GILLIE'S TEMPORAL
APPROACH.
Operator gently repositions fragments of orbital
floor with his fingers and then antrum is packed.
Pack should be composed of 5cm ribbon gauze
42. WHITEHEAD'S WARNISH consists of:
This warnish pack remains uninfected during the
period needed for stabilization of the fracture
segments
It has number of aromatic resins which slowly
broke down to release benzoic acid ( potent
antiseptic) togethr with waterproofing property of

Iodoform 10 gm
Benzoin 10 gm
Prepared storax
7.5 gm
Balsam of tolu 5
gm
Solvent 100 ml
43. It is placed enclosed within the sinus , beneath the
suture line in the buccal sulcus, by which route
they are easily removed
Pack should be placed until the bone it is
supporting is stable, around 3 wks.
Great care must be taken not to displace any bony
spicule of orbital floor against optic nerve and
ophthalmic artery leading to blindness
BALLOONS and FOLEY'S CATHETER in antrum
can also be used but there is an disadvantage of
expanding uniformly in all directions so that
pressure cannot be exerted in the desired location
with accuracy
44. Pin fixation from the zygomatic bone to the
supra-orbital rim
Bone pin with self tapping thread is inserted into
the zygomatic bone and other into the bone of the
lateral aspect of the supra-orbital ridge.
Fracture is reduced and two pins are connected
by a rod and two universal joints
Useful for the zygomatic bone which is
excessively mobile and is a valuable adjunct to
fixation .
