Hip Replacement For Femur Neck Fracture In The Elderly, Effects Of Delayed Surgical Intervention On Morbidity And Mortality, A Retrospective Comparative Study, Ahmed Habib, Shah Fahad, Muhammad Atif, Javeria Saeed, Pervaiz Hashmi, Mujahid Jamil Khattak
Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
Hip fracture is one of the most common injuries in the elderly population. Delay in operating on patients with hip fracture is associated with greater mortality and morbidity. A retrospective review of medical charts of patients who underwent primary total hip replacement (THR) for neck of femur fractures at our tertiary care level 1 trauma was carried out. Data was collected from the patients' charts and analysed for 30-day mortality and morbidity. A total of 96 patients were included in the study. Out of the 36 patients in the delayed THR group, mortality within 30 days was observed in 4 …
Long-Term Clinical And Functional Outcomes Of Distally Based Sural Artery Flap: A Retrospective Case Series, Pervaiz Hashmi, Abeer Musaddiq, Muhammad Ali, Alizah Hashmi, Marij Zahid, Zohaib Nawaz
Long-Term Clinical And Functional Outcomes Of Distally Based Sural Artery Flap: A Retrospective Case Series, Pervaiz Hashmi, Abeer Musaddiq, Muhammad Ali, Alizah Hashmi, Marij Zahid, Zohaib Nawaz
Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
Background: Reconstruction of soft tissue defects around the lower leg, foot and ankle is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. These defects commonly occur as a result of trauma, infection and tumor excision. Sural artery neurovascular island flap is a relatively thin, pliable and insensate flap with minimum donor-site morbidity and acceptable aesthetic outcome.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a case series was conducted, all operated by a single surgeon over a period of 25 years from July 1996 to February 2020. Data were collected through a structured proforma; the variables included were as follows: demographic data, mechanism of injury, defect …

Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a great impact on orthopedic surgery with a significant curtailment in elective surgeries which is the major bread and butter for orthopedic surgeons. It was also observed that the spectrum of orthopedic trauma injuries has shifted from more severe and frequent road traffic accidents (high energy trauma) to general, low energy house-hold injuries like low energy fractures in the elderly, pediatric fractures, house-hold sharp cut injuries and nail bed lacerations. The aim of this study is to appraise the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on orthopedic surgical practice, both inpatient and outpatient facility.

A Comprehensive Basic Understanding Of Pelvis And Acetabular Fractures After High-Energy Trauma With Associated Injuries: Narrative Review Of Targeted Literature, Muhammad Atif, Obada Hussein Hasan, Naveed Baloch, Masood Umer
Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
Acetabular fractures are caused by energy trauma which is high enough to cause such a fracture with incidence of 3 patients / 100000. In older individuals, most commonmechanism of injury is fall and, in younger individuals, road traffic accidents. Acetabular fractures are usually associated with visceral injuries and other musculoskeletal injuries (about 50% of patient). In this narrative review of targeted English literature from all level of evidences, which is written and supervised by experienced specialized orthopedic and trauma surgeons who were among the pioneers of conducting pelvis fracture management workshops in the country, we aim to describe the mechanism …
Patient Outcomes Association With Patient Factors And Care Provided: Trauma Registry Derived Cohort Study, Tashfeen Ahmad, Zehra Abdul Muhammad
Patient Outcomes Association With Patient Factors And Care Provided: Trauma Registry Derived Cohort Study, Tashfeen Ahmad, Zehra Abdul Muhammad
Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
Objective: To determine the association of delay in treatment with injury-specific patient outcomes.
Methods: This was a single-center, longitudinal cohort study on orthopaedic trauma registry. Data on patients enrolled between June 2015 and June 2018 were analyzed. Data was collected from admitted consenting patients' medical records. Definitive surgical care provided after 24 hours was considered as 'delayed surgical treatment'. Outcomes of patients were serially assessed on follow-up visits up to 12 months using injury-specific scoring system.
Results: A total of 789 patients, were enrolled with 856 upper or lower extremity injuries altogether; in 67 cases both extremities were involved. Surgery …
In The Cost-Conscious Era: Ilizarov Circular Frame Or Uniplanar External Fixator For Management Of Complex Open Tibia Shaft Fracture, Retrospective Cohort Study From A Level-1 Trauma Center, Muhammad Atif, Yasir Mohib, Obada Hussein Hasan, Haroon Rashid
In The Cost-Conscious Era: Ilizarov Circular Frame Or Uniplanar External Fixator For Management Of Complex Open Tibia Shaft Fracture, Retrospective Cohort Study From A Level-1 Trauma Center, Muhammad Atif, Yasir Mohib, Obada Hussein Hasan, Haroon Rashid
Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
Objective: External fixation is the most commonly used method for temporary management of open fractures of the Tibial shaft followed by internal fixation. This can also be used as a definitive method of fixation. Ilizarov is more superior and can be the primary and definite option where expertise is available. This study was conducted todetermine the outcome of open tibia shaft fracture treated with either Ilizarov or AO External Fixator.
Methods: Anon-commercial retrospective cohort was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi on patients operated for isolated open tibia fractures Gustillo type III (A, B, C) stabilized with external fixation …
Functional And Clinical Outcomes Of Open Versus Closed Radius And Ulna Shaft Fractures In Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study, Tashfeen Ahmad, Zehra Abdul Muhammad, Pervaiz Hashmi
Functional And Clinical Outcomes Of Open Versus Closed Radius And Ulna Shaft Fractures In Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study, Tashfeen Ahmad, Zehra Abdul Muhammad, Pervaiz Hashmi
Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
Objective: To compare functional and clinical outcomes of open versus closed radius ulna shaft fractures in adults treated by internal fixation.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on patients presenting with traumatic radius and ulna shaft fractures to Aga Khan University and undergoing internal fixation between July 2015 to June 2019. Data was extracted from an ongoing orthopaedic trauma registry. Functional and clinical outcomes were assessed by Price et al. criteria at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up. Outcome scores of open versus closed fractures were compared.
Results: Twenty-nine adult patients with isolated radius and ulna shaft …

Comparison Of Intraarticular Distal Humerus Fracture Outcomes Treated With Or Without Olecranon Osteotomy - A Case Series, Naveed Baloch, Tashfeen Ahmad, Zehra Abdul Muhammad
Section of Orthopaedic Surgery
A case series was extracted from the trauma registry at Aga Khan University Hospital from the period June 2015 to June 2019. Included were 16 adult patients who presented with intra-articular distal humerus fracture type C2. The functional, clinical and radiological outcomes of fractures treated with or without olecranon osteotomy up to 12 months follow-up were compared. Outcomes were assessed at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months re-visits. Among the 16 studied patients, 9 (56%) were males and 7 (44%) were females. In the group without osteotomy, there was a good functional and clinical outcome with a mean Quick …
