<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Fractures of the distal radius continue to be the one of the most common skeletal injuries treated by an orthopaedic surgeon. They are the most common fractures of the upper extremity and account for 15-20% of all fractures. All intra articular fractures need good reduction for better functional outcome. There are multiple treatment methods from casting to arthroscopic surgeries. This study has been undertaken to study the functional outcomes of distal radius intra-articular fractures managed by ligamentotaxis. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of distal radial intra-articular fractures treated by ligamentotaxis.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This cross sectional study was conducted in Orthopaedic department of Kilpauk Medical College between April 2017 to April 2019 on 60 patients with fracture of the distal end of radius, with comminuted fracture, who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. All fractures were managed by ligamentotaxis and were followed regularly and assessed after four months for their functional outcomes.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> 80% of the study population were males. Around 67% of the study population had type III or type IV fracture according to Frykman’s classification. 84% of the study population had better prognosis with ligamentotaxis. The difference between mean Mayo wrist score between affected side and normal side was not statistically significant.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Ligamentotaxis, external fixation for comminuted intra articular distal radius fractures is safe and effective treatment. It is also cost effective.</p>

Introduction: This is a cross-sectional study of 37 patients with AO type C (complete intra-articular) fractures of the distal radius, evaluating the functional, anatomical, and patient rated outcomes one year after primary fixation with a volar locking plate. Methods: Functional outcomes were assessed based on the grip strength, and the range of motion of forearm and wrist. Anatomical outcomes were assessed based on the radial inclination, radial height, volar tilt, and articular step or gap. Patient rated outcome was measured with a Disability of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire. Results: One year after surgery, 24 (64%) patients achieved good and excellent anatomical results, and DASH scores were acceptable in 73% of patients. Most of the patients had achieved 80% of their grip strength. The mean DASH score of 12.3 was comparable with other studies. Grip strength, radial inclination and volar tilt had a significant correlation with the DASH score. Conclusion: Volar locking plates can be used to achieve optimal reduction in all three parameters in the treatment of AO type C fractures of the distal radius. Versatile fracture fragment reduction and angular stability enable rehabilitation hence obtaining good functional outcomes.

The present study is a record based study of Post-mortems performed at Mortuary of District Hospital (Associated with Medical College) Vidisha, MP, India, from January 2018 to December 2018 comprising 330 cases. This study was conducted to determine and evaluate the socio-demographic profile of different types of cases and to assess the nature and cause of their death. Of these cases 247 (74.84%) were males, 54 (25.15%) were females and 276 (83.63%) were identified whereas 54 (16.36%) were unidentified. Accidental deaths were commonest 142(43%), then death due to poisoning 98(29.69%). Pathological deaths were 36(10.89%). Death due to assault were less common 24 (7.27%).

IntroductionEating the meat derived from animals suffering from zoonotic diseases or contaminated with meat borne bacteria cause infection or intoxication and grave danger to both the handler and consumer causing morbidity and mortality.ObjectiveThe study aims to assess the meat hygiene practices among meat sellers in Dharan City of Eastern Nepal.MethodologyA descriptive cross sectional study was carried in all meat shops registered in Dharan from December 2013 to December 2014. A total of 125 meat shops, which were registered in Dharan Municipality, Dharan Mashu Baybasashi Prabadhi Sang and Dharan Mashu Baybasashi Sangh were enrolled. Checklist and semi structured interview schedule were used to assess the hygiene practices of meat shops. Data were analyzed by using descriptive as well as inferential statistics.ResultsThis study revealed that practice of meat inspection, antemortem and post-mortem examination of animals/carcass were not seen and separate slaughterhouse was not made. Only few (19%) of the respondents had practice of washing hands before and a
