Introduction: Traditionally most of clavicular fracture can be treated conservally .Operative treatment is usually indicated for open injuries, lateral clavicular fracrure, fragments pressing the plueral cavity, neurovascular compromise, overlying skin. The main aim of this study was to determine the shoulder functional outcomes after clavicle fractures in conservative treated patients. Method: Retrospective study of 261 patients of comservative treated clavicular fracture selected . Patient were examined after 3 months and 6 months according to below given test protocol and constant score was calculated with reference constant.Pain measured as 0-15 within ordinary shoulder activities within 24 hours. Activtites of daily living as 4 questions deal with everyday activities expect over last week (0---20points). Four different active and pain free movement of the arm are performed (0-20). Result: All the patient with fracture clavicle without associated other injuries were treated conservatively for 4-8 weeks, and then constant score of both affected and nonaffected side were calculated and compared of both sides after 3 and 6 months as described in materials and methods. Difference between normal and abnormal side graded as more than 30 pooor, 21-30 fair, 11-20 Good, less than 11 excellent. Conclusion: Conservative treated case of clavicular fracture is easy way to treat the cases in OPD bases but it lead to high rate of shortening and nonunion. In few case Operative should be done to restore the normal functional of shoulder intregreity

Background: A Pre/Post-Test Cohort investigating the effect of spinal and abdominal muscles fatigue on spinal curvatures. Method and Results: The effect of spinal and abdominal muscle fatigue on pelvic tilt, trunk inclination and the lordotic angle, and on the rotation of the T6, L2 and L4 vertebras was investigated in 10 healthy individuals. Abdominal and spinal muscles fatigue had a significant effect (p <0.05) on pelvic tilt, trunk inclination and lordotic angle. Conclusion: Application of simple and quick fatigue tests resulted in changes in all static parameters (pelvic tilt, trunk inclination and lordotic angle) as measured by the DIERS system.

Background & Objective: Various operative methods have been used for the repair of claw toe deformities. We present a review of a combination of three operative procedures performed for the correction of this deformity. Methods: A review was conducted examining 105 patient clinical records over a ten year period. Patients who received either one or a combination of the following procedures: Partial Proximal Phalangectomy (PPP), Proximal Interphalangeal Joint (PIP) interpositional arthroplasty, and k-wire fixation were included. Results: Over a ten year span, a total of 86 PPP, 124 PIP and 29 k-wire fixations were performed on 96 patients. Of the 105 clinical cases reviewed, there were only 4 recurrences of claw toe deformity. Early complications included k-wire backout/breakage, reversible avascular toe in the recovery room, and pin site infection. Conclusions: The combination of the three procedures presented, are an optimal operative treatment for the repair of claw toe deformity in various patients. Assessments can be made during surgery to determine if the procedures should be used solely or in combination based on the level of deformity. This customizable technique presented a minimal level of early complications and a low recurrence rate.

The kneeling ability and sensitivity to pain tested in 30 consecutive patients undergoing primary TKAs, Thirty (30) knees (16 right, 14 left). Kneeling difficulties following TKA were noticed in the majority of patients. Before surgery, the PPTs (Pain Pressure Thresholds) measures were lower in the patients who were unable to kneel compared to those who were able to kneel. However, this difference was not significant at QT (Quadriceps Tendon) area (p=0.2) but significant in all other areas (P= < 0.05). At 6 months the values were changed but again the differences were not significant (p=> 0.05). There were notable gender differences in the kneeling ability before and after TKA.

Aim: The present literature review aimed to investigate the main indications and implications of early surgical treatment of hip fractures (proximal femur) and their influence on mortality in the elderly. Introduction: In Brazil estimates show that about 100,000 hip fractures occur annually in the elderly, being a major public health problem. When examining mortality, it is observed that the average mortality after one year of fracture is about 30%. Studies show that the surgical approach is the key element in its treatment, and in general the surgical approach time should occur as soon as possible, preferably within 24 to 48 hours of admission. Such interval allows clinical stabilization of the patient, and the time of surgical approach may affect the patient's evolution, delay surgical treatment resulting in delayed mobilization and thus affect the patient's functional recovery. On the other hand, failure of clinical stabilization before surgery may increase the risk of perioperative complications. Methodology: Due to the implications involved in the surgical treatment of proximal femur fractures in the elderly, both peri and postoperatively, an investigation in the literature produced in the last 10 years using SCIELO, PUBMED, and COCHRANE as databases. They were selected produced in English or Portuguese. Advanced research was performed using the following descriptors in English: proximal femur fracture, surgery, elderly, Brazil, hospital, trauma and mortality. About 280 articles were found. A title reading was performed, followed by a summary and 20 articles pertinent to the theme of this systematic review were selected at the end. Results and Discussion: The present literature review showed that many studies showed that the lack of immediate surgical treatment of the proximal femur fracture resulted in an increase in the mortality rate of about 10% and a complication rate of about 23% in 30% days. Complications due to late surgical treatment included urinary tract infection, pneumonia, thrombosis, as well as other cardiorespiratory problems, and other comorbidities. Conclusion: This review concludes from the studies analyzed that surgical treatment should be performed on the patient no later than 48 hours after hip fracture or soon after the patient's clinical stabilization, and the mortality rate found after 30 days of surgery. Surgical treatment of proximal femur fracture was about 10% in the elderly. In addition, complications are present in about 23% of postoperative patients, which implies increased health costs involved in rehabilitation, postoperative complications and readmissions.

Osteonecrosis (avascular, aseptic or ischemic bone necrosis) of the tarsal navicular in children may develop either spontaneously (primary, idiopathic, atraumatic or non-traumatic) or secondary to trauma (post-traumatic) and osteochondrosis. In both groups, of primary and secondary osteonecrosis, the clinical findings as well as the radiographic abnormalities are self-limited and usually resolve spontaneously irrespective of weight-bearing and immobilization treatment modalities. Köhler’s disease has been defined either as atraumatic navicular osteonecrosis or as an osteochondrosis process, based on the similar radiographic appearance of increased sclerosis and flattening detected in both asymptomatic and symptomatic children. Post-traumatic tarsal navicular osteonecrosis in children may follow microtrauma or overuse injuries, stress fractures, acute fractures, osteochondritis dissecans and severe foot injuries. This editorial aims to present the primary and secondary causes of osteonecrosis of the tarsal navicular in children and to describe the difficulties of the clinical and radiological evaluation in order to define an accurate diagnosis.

In this study, thiolated chitosan (CS-TBA) and modified calcium carbonate microspheres (CCM), were used to fabricate composite scaffolds, and their physical and performances were compared and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Specimen of the following was prepared as 5 mm diameter, 1 mm thick discs; CS-TBA/CCM group and a control group (blank group). A scanning electron microscope study was conducted. Graft materials were implanted in a 5 mm diameter in the calvarial bone. Rats were sacrificed after four and eight weeks for micro-CT and histological staining, and the findings obtained were used to calculate the bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/total bone volume (BV/TV), and trabecular number (TB.N). It was found that these three values were significantly higher in the CS-TBA/CCM group than in the control group (p<0.05). This study demonstrated an excellent potential of CS-TBA/ CCM scaffold as a bone graft substitute.

Introduction: The unicompartmental Oxford prosthesis has been used as a goodalternative for medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis because it is associated with earlyrehabilitation and a low rate of intraoperative complications. This case describes a rarecomplication during the procedure. Case Presentation: We present an intraoperative fracture of the medial condyle in a 70-year-old woman that was treated with 6.5 mm cannulated screws with a compressiontechnique. The patient remained in a non-weight bearing protocol for 6 weeks andreached a full range of mobility at 3 months. Complete radiological consolidation and agood functional outcome were observed. Conclusion: Intraoperative fractures benefit from a stable osteosynthesis that allows freerange of mobility and does not delay postoperative rehabilitation.
