Background: Variety of implants (extramedullary and intramedullary) are available to fix intertrochanteric (IT) fracture but hardly any data is available that proves the superiority of one over other. Every implant is having its own advantage and disadvantages. The aim of this study is to analyze the results of Halifax nail in age group of 60 to 100 year age group. Materials and Methods: Total 15 cases of intertrochanteric fracture operated using Halifax nail in which youngest patient was 60 years male and oldest was 95 years female.13 cases operated in same hospital and 2 in two different hospitals. These patient were chosen randomly among elderly IT fracture admitted in hospital during August 2017 to January 2019. Results are analyze in term of Mobilization, pain control, union time, implant failure. Final outcome was evaluated as per Harris Hip Score. Result: Among 15 cases,13 follow up available, 2 patient were lost in follow up after natural death. Out of 13 patients (n = 13), 7 showed excellent, 5 showed good and one patient showed poor result as per Harris Hip Score. Conclusion: Results of Halifax nail for IT fractures in elderly was found to be highly encouraging. All patients had early union and none had implant failure. Early mobilization and negligible mortality and morbidity were other added advantages.

Low back pain is a common complaint among middle aged and elderly persons. There are many causes but one of it could be sacralisation of lumbar vertebra. Sacralisation means addition of sacral elements by the incorporation of the fifth lumbar vertebra. The incorporation of the fifth lumbar vertebra with the sacrum may be unilateral or bilateral producing partial or complete sacralisation. Sacralisation is commonly regarded as a cause of altered patterns of degenerative spine changes. This review will focus on whether sacralisation of the fifth lumbar vertebra is a radiological entity or a clinical entity.

The impact factor (IF) for peer-reviewed orthopaedic journals has increased in the recent years, so has the number of journals. The publication of high-level research in orthopaedics has considerable importance of citing good quality evidence for impact on day-to-day practice. Transparency and rigorous engagement of reviewers and authors in the peer review process may improve the quality of publication which may help developing practice guidelines. This article seeks to suggest simple ways to have effective peer review process which can maximize publication success and improve the IF.

Background: Forensic anthropology plays a key role in sexual dimorphism. It is possible to establish a profile and identification of the sex of an individual from the available parts of the skeleton. Several bones present dimorphism and have been studied to increase the approach for forensic identification. Objective: We morphometrically evaluated the human scapula and compared the measurements between scapula bone in cadavers of both sex to derive a logistical regression formula for sex determination of the south Indian population. Materials and Methods: Eighty adult scapulae were used in the study. Scapulae were measured in millimeters for 11 parameters with the help of the sliding caliper. Results: The most common shape of glenoid cavity recorded in this study in men and women was pear shape (54.92% and 51.02%) followed by inverted comma shape (31. 49% and 33.73%). The least common shape was oval (13.57% and 15.28). The mean (standard deviation [SD]) of parameters studies in men vs. women: MSH––143.3 ± 10.23 vs. 138.2 ± 11.89 mm; the MSB––105.3 ± 12.45 vs. 93.5 ± 9.23 mm; SpW––120.0 ± 0.81 vs. 104.0 ± 0.95 mm; ACW––87.0 ± 0.58 vs. 80.0 ± 0.53 mm; L2––44.7 ± 0.46 vs. 35.3 ± 0.39 mm; L4–50.5 ± 8.6 vs. 45.3 ± 9.51; L6–60.1 ± 7.71 vs. 56.8 ± 8.55 mm; SI glenoid diameter––37.63 ± 7.58 vs. 35.5 ± 4.75 mm; the anteroposterior glenoid diameter 1––24.50 ± 5.86 vs. 22.5 ± 6.93 mm and the anteroposterior glenoid diameter 2––16.30 ± 2.16 vs. 13.57 ± 5.58 mm; and mean glenoid cavity index was 65.10 ± 8.67% vs. 63.4 ± 9.23%. All parameters measured showed statistically significant values (P < 0.05) for the male scapula. Conclusion: The scapula can potentially be used in medicolegal investigations in terms of sexual dimorphism. Thus, the results of these studies can provide the baseline values increasing the range of options in the forensic investigation in sex determination.
背景:法医人类学在两性异形中起着关键作用。从现有的骨骼部分可以建立个体的轮廓和性别鉴定。一些骨骼呈现二态性,并已被研究以增加法医鉴定的方法。目的:我们对人类肩胛骨进行了形态计量学评估,并比较了两性尸体中肩胛骨的测量结果,以得出南印度人口性别决定的逻辑回归公式。材料与方法:采用80块成人肩胛骨进行研究。在滑动卡尺的帮助下,以毫米为单位测量肩胛骨的11个参数。结果:本研究中记录的肩胛盂形状以梨形(54.92%)和梨形(51.02%)最为常见,其次为逗号形(31.2%)。49%和33.73%)。最不常见的形状是椭圆形(13.57%和15.28%)。男女参数研究的平均值(标准差[SD]): MSH—143.3±10.23 vs 138.2±11.89 mm;MSB—105.3±12.45 vs 93.5±9.23 mm;SpW—120.0±0.81 vs. 104.0±0.95 mm;ACW—87.0±0.58 vs. 80.0±0.53 mm;L2—44.7±0.46 vs. 35.3±0.39 mm;L4-50.5±8.6 vs. 45.3±9.51;L6-60.1±7.71 vs. 56.8±8.55 mm;SI关节盂直径——37.63±7.58 vs. 35.5±4.75 mm;前盂内径1—24.50±5.86 vs. 22.5±6.93 mm,前盂内径2—16.30±2.16 vs. 13.57±5.58 mm;关节盂指数均值65.10±8.67% vs. 63.4±9.23%。男性肩胛骨各项指标测量值均有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。结论:肩胛骨在两性异形的医学调查中具有潜在的应用价值。因此,这些研究的结果可以提供基线值,增加了法医调查中性别确定的选择范围。
