Purpose. To report the outcome of fixation for delayed union or non-union posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures. Methods. Seven men and 4 women aged 24 to 35 (mean, 28) years underwent lag screw or suture fixation for non-union or delayed union of avulsion fracture of PCL tibial attachment after a mean delay of 8.6 (range, 4–14) months. Patient satisfaction was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Functional outcome was evaluated using the Lysholm scale. Results. The mean follow-up period was 17 (range, 8–36) months. The mean Lysholm score improved from 82 preoperatively to 92 at the final follow-up (p=0.34), the mean range of knee motion improved from 82° to 87° (p=0.008), and the mean VAS score for patient satisfaction improved from 4.3 to 7.4 (p=0.0004). All patients but one achieved bone union after a mean of 7.5 (range, 7–9) weeks. Functional outcome was excellent for 6 patients, good for 4, and fair for one. Posterior drawer test was positive (grade 1 laxity) in 3 patients whose outcome was good for 2 and fair for one. The latter had non-union after Ethibond suture repair for a communited fracture. There were no instances of wound complications or implant loosening. Conclusion. Fixation with lag screw or suture combined with bone grafting for delayed union or non-union of PCL avulsion fractures achieves acceptable functional outcome.

Computed tomographic evaluation of the proximal femur: A predictive classification in displaced femoral neck fracture management.

Background: Femoral neck fracture is truly an enigma due to the high incidence of avascular necrosis and nonunion. Different methods have been described to determine the size of the femoral head fragment, as a small head has been said to be associated with poor outcome and nonunion due to inadequate implant purchase in the proximal fragment. These methods were two dimensional and were affected by radiography techniques, therefore did not determine true head size. Computed tomography (CT) is an important option to measure true head size as images can be obtained in three dimensions. Henceforth, we subjected patients to CT scan of hip in cases with displaced fracture neck of femur. The study aims to define the term small head or inadequate size femoral head” objectively for its prognostic significance. Materials and Methods: 70 cases of displaced femoral neck fractures underwent CT scan preoperatively for proximal femoral geometric measurements of both hips. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan was done in all cases. Patients were treated with either intertrochanteric osteotomy or lag screw osteosynthesis based on the size of the head fragment on plain radiographs. Results: The average femoral head fragment volume was 57 cu cm (range 28.3-84.91 cu cm; standard deviation 14 cu cm). Proximal fragment volume of >43 cu cm was termed adequate size (type I) and of ≤43 cu cm as small femoral head (type II). Fractures which united (n = 54) had a relatively large average head size (59 cu cm) when compared to fractures that did not (n = 16), which had a small average head size (49 cu cm) and this difference was statistically significant. In type I fractures union rate was comparable in both osteotomy and lag screw groups (P > 0.05). Lag screw fixation failed invariably, while osteotomy showed good results in type II fractures (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Computed tomography scan of the proximal femur is advisable for measuring true size of head fragment. An objective classification based on the femoral head size (type I and type II) is proposed. Osteosynthesis should be the preferred method of treatment in type I and osteotomy or prosthetic replacement is the method of choice for type II femoral neck fractures.

Longitudinal Bracketed Epiphysis of Proximal Phalanx of the Great Toe With Congenital Hallux Varus Managed Simultaneously With Monorail External Fixator A Case Report

Vineet Verma; Amit Batra; Rohit Singla; Paritosh Gogna; Narender Kumar Magu; Rakesh Kumar Gupta

Longitudinal bracketed epiphysis (delta phalanx) is a rare congenital anomaly that affects phalanges in the hand more commonly than toes. We present a rare case of congenital hallux varus with longitudinal bracketed epiphysis of proximal phalanx with bifid distal phalanx of the great toe, which was managed with monorail type of external fixator. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of its successful implementation in simultaneous treatment of longitudinal bracketed epiphysis of the proximal phalanx of the great toe and hallux varus. Apart from adding to the literature a case of rare subtype of delta phalanx with hallux varus, the present study highlights the role of a reliable alternative in its management. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV, Case study
