Introduction:- Extra-articular proximal tibial fractures account for 5–10 % of all tibial shaft fractures and it result from high-velocity trauma. Closed reduction with minimally invasive plating and locked intramedullary  nailing have been widely used for treatment of proximal tibia extraarticular fractures. Our pupose is to compare the pros and cons of these two methods. Materials and methods:- 22 patients were included in this study for a period of 2 years. Patients treated with IMN were kept in group A patients treated with percutaneus plating were kept in group B. Standard approach of nailing and plating were used and proper follow up were taken for next upcoming 1 year. Results:- Combined average age was 38years. Male were more commonly affected than female (13:8). Majority of fracture were of type A33. Operative time was < 2 hours in both groups. Less blood loss occurred during intramedullary nailing as compared to locking plate fixation. Surgical site infections (SSIs) were seen in two patients in the PTP group. Delayed union occurred in two patients in the IMN group. The average range of motion was 119.7(range 90-150, SD= 19.18) in group A and 115.2(range 80-150, SD = 17.28) in group B. Conclusion:- in treatment of proximal tibia extra articular fracture use of IMN and PTLCP gives comparable results. To validate this issue further a large sample size multicentric study is recommended   Key words: intramedullary nailing (IMN), Extraarticular tibialn fracture, Surgical site infection.

Objectives - Surgical site infections (SSI) has turn out to be a major problem even in hospital with most modern facilities and standard protocols of pre -operative preparation and antibiotic prophylaxis. Objective of this study is to know the prevalence of surgical site infection among the postoperative patients and to identify the relationship between SSI and etiological pathogens along with their antimicrobial susceptibility at North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS), Shillong. Methods - A retrospective case study conducted at NEIGRIHMS, among patients admitted to the surgical departments during the period between January 1st and December 31st 2016. Swabs from the surgical sites were collected under sterile conditions and standard bacteriological tests were performed for identification and appropriate statistical methods were employed to look for association between SSI and etiological pathogens. Results - Out of the 1284 samples included in the study, 192 samples showed evidence of SSI yielding an infection rate of 14.9%. The most commonly isolated bacteria were: Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumanii and Staphylococcus aureus, of the gram negative isolates 6.2% were multidrug resistant of which 19% were carbapenem resistant. Conclusion - SSI with multiple drug resistance strains and polymicrobial etiology reflects therapeutic failure. The outcome of the SSI surveillance in our hospital revealed that in order to decrease the incidence of SSI we would have to: a) incorporate a proper antibiotic stewardship  b) conduct periodic surveillance to keep a check on SSI d) educate medical staffs regarding the prevention of surgical site infection.
