Background: The patellar fractures treatment has changed by enhancements in both an improved understanding of patellar function and fracture fixation techniques. The goals of operative fixation include repair of extensor mechanism, restoration of articular congruity, secure fixation and early movements. In this Study Reconstruction patellar plate was introduced in the management of patellar fracture. Aim: To determine the Functional outcome of fixation method of patella fractures by Open Reduction and Internal Fixation with Reconstruction Patellar Plate. Methods: This Prospective study was performed at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Lahore General Hospital for a period of 12 months after the approval Research Board of University of health Sciences, Lahore. Non probability purposive sampling method was used to induct 30 patients (who met the inclusive Criteria) underwent reconstruction patellar plate for the treatment of patella fracture. The patients were followed in outpatient department at 4 weeks and 16 weeks. Variables mentioned in Modified Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score were recorded and Knee score was calculated and graded at 16 weeks. Results: In this study, overall mean age was 25.26 ± 5.02 years. There were 19 (63%) male and 11 (37%) female subjects. The mean of Modified Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (MHSSKS) was 84.90±8.87. In this study, there were 12(40%) patients with excellent functional outcome, 14 (46.67%) patients with good functional outcome and 4(13.34%) patients with fair functional outcome. There was no patient with poor functional outcome. Conclusion: Reconstruction Patellar Plate fixation method of patella fractures by Open Reduction and Internal Fixation produced good Functional outcome, which can be familiarized as an alternate to tension band method for the treatment of transverse patellar fracture.

The Mean

Proximal humerus fractures account for about 4% to 5% of all fractures. Following distal forearm fracture, proximal humeral fracture is the second most common upper extremity fracture. Kirschner (K)-Wires, external fixation, tension band wiring, and rush pins, intramedullary nails, ORIF with plates, and shoulder hemiarthroplasty have all been offered as therapeutic options. The purpose of this study was to assess the functional outcome and complication rates following internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures using a locking compression plate. Patients over the age of 18 with closed proximal humerus fractures or open proximal humerus fractures (Gustilo and Anderson type I, Type II) received open reduction and internal fixation with locking compression plate in the current study. The participants in this study were 60 people who had a proximal humerus fracture and were treated with open reduction and a proximal humerus locking compression plate. Patients ranged in age from 20 to 85 years old, with a mean age of 51.14 +/- 17.30 years. The age group 36–55 years (37 percent) was the most prevalent, followed by 56–75 years (30 %). The majority of patients (76.7 %) were men who had been in automobile accidents on the right side (83 %) (63 %). According to the Neer classification, the most prevalent type of fracture was a three-part fracture (53 %). The maximum union time observed in this study was 16 weeks, with a minimum of 10 weeks. The average time to union is 12.52 +/- 1.14 weeks. The mean flexion at the end of six months was 121.660 +/- 19.84. The mean internal rotation was 57.330 +/- 8.48, the mean external rotation was 530 +/- 11.98, and the mean abduction was 1180 +/- 19.36. 75.28 +/- 9.66 [Mean +/- SD] is the Mean Constant score. Pain 14.10, ADL 18.26, range of motion 22.46, and power 20 were the mean scores observed on Constant Score for its various aspects. According to the Constant score, the functional outcome of the 60 patients was as follows: 8 patients had excellent outcomes (13%), 34 patients had good outcomes (56.7%), 16 patients had moderate outcomes (26.7%), and two patients had poor outcomes (26.7%) and (3 %). Internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures with a locking compression plate results in anatomical reduction and secure fixation, resulting in a favorable functional outcome.

BACKGROUND: The posterior cruciate ligament is one of the important tissues and structures sustaining the knee joint, and its rupture or detachment may lead to joint instability or destruction. AIM: The present study aimed at investigating the Open Reduction and Internal Fixation surgery of posterior cruciate ligament and comparing it to the normal knee of the same side. METHODS: In this study, 25 patients with avulsion fracture at the PCL joint were treated with open surgery and screw fixation. The patients were followed up by Lysholm knee score for at least 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: All patients were male with an average age of 25 years over the years 2010-2018. The common mechanism of injury in these patients was motorcycle-car accident. In the study with Lysholm knee score, 21 patients (80%) obtained the good score of 60-90 while 20% of patients were placed in the fair group (30-59). The average score was 86. CONCLUSION: The obtained score of knee function questionnaire in this study had no significant difference from other similar studies, and most patients achieved a good and acceptable score after the surgery. There was no knee instability and functional impairment in the patients compared to the normal knee. Considering the clinical results after the fixation of the PCL avulsion fracture causing a significant improvement in patients, the surgery could be considered as an acceptable and effective method for treating such impairment and fracture.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Supra-condylar and inter-condylar fractures of the distal femur account for 7% of all femoral fractures and have always been difficult to treat and regaining full knee function is often difficult. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional outcome, fracture healing, complications of distal femoral intercondylar fractures managed by locking compression plate.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Total 72 patients of intercondylar femur fracture were operated by ORIF with distal femur-locking compression plate via the standard swashbuckler approach.<strong> </strong>The functional outcomes were analyzed using modified hospital for special surgery scoring system.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Muller type C2 fracture was the most common fracture type with 50 out of 72 patients. The average range of motion achieved was about 99.03°±24.73° (Closed fractures =105.83°±19.41°and open fractures = 89.50°±28.36°). There was also a significant difference in the duration of operative time, 84.28±18.32 minutes for closed fractures and 98.46±22.47 minutes for open fractures. The average duration for radiological union was 14.52±2.21 weeks for closed and 17.20±2.44 weeks for open fractures. The average knee score was 80.13±13.38 using modified Hospital for Special Surgery score.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Closed fractures have a higher range of motion and a better knee score compared to open fractures, supporting the fact that soft tissue compromise also affects range of motion and post-op rehabilitation of the limb. The outcome seems to correlate with the nature of injury i.e. high vs low velocity, type of fracture, anatomic reduction, associated injuries, time elapsed since injury to fixation and the stability of fixation.</p>

Background: Supracondylar fracture of the distal humerus is one of the commonest fracture in pediatric age group. Though there is consensus of treating type III fracture operatively, no study has compared the outcome between Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning (CRPP) and Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) with k-wire in our setup. Materials and Methods: Retrospective comparison study was done on eighty seven cases of Type III supracondylar fracture of distal humerus underwent operative procedure. Fifty four (54) cases underwent CRPP and 33 cases were managed with ORIF with k-wire, and they were followed up till 6 months post-operatively. Results : The mean time for radiological union in patient who underwent CRPP was 4.37±0.94 weeks and that for the patient who underwent ORIF was 4.45±0.13 weeks, the difference of which was statistically insignificant (p-value >0.05). 83.3% of CRPP group and 78.8% in ORIF group had excellent functional outcome and only 3% in ORIF group had poor functional outcome. Conclusion: Though both the group don’t have significant advantage of functional outcome among each other CRPP with limited attempt should be preferred to ORIF with k-wire for the advantage of avoiding surgical scar and reducing surgery time and exposure to anaesthetic agents.
