Alan H. Daniels To Denise and my boys, who make everything worthwhile. Craig P. Eberson For Ashley, always. Adam E. M. Eltorai Preface The book is the ideal, on-the-spot reference for students seeking fast facts on diagnosis and management in orthope- dic surgery. Its two-column, question-and-answer format makes it a perfect quick reference. Organized by body part, Essential Orthopedic Review focuses on the most common pathologic entities. Topics include history, typical presentation, relevant anatomy, physical examination, imaging, management, and expected outcomes. Essential Orthopedic Review is the ideal addition to a white coat pocket, allowing busy students to efficiently review fundamental principles in orthopedic surgery. Students can read specific chapters for focused subspecialty review or from cover to cover to lay a general foundation of orthopedic knowledge. Aimed at helping students start their orthopedic journeys on the right foot, this book will serve as a tool to propel students to the next level. Providence, RI, USA Adam E. M. Eltorai Craig P.

Preaxial Deficiency: Radial Club Hand: They are typically sporadic and unilateral, more common in males, and more common on the right side Radial dysplasias are commonly associated with syndromes including Fanconi anemia, thrombocytopenia absent radius (TAR) syndrome, Holt-Oram syndrome (associated with cardiac septal defects), and VATER(vertebral abnormality, anal imperforation, tracheoesophageal fistula, radial, or renal anomalies. The clinical manifestation of radial club hand is a shortened forearm with radial deviation at the wrist. The pathology affects all structures on the preaxial side of the limb: skeleton, musculotendinous units, joints, neurovascular structures, and soft tissue. CLASSIFICATION OF RADIAL DYSPLASIA I-Short radius II- Hypoplastic radius III- Partial absence of radius IV- Total absence of radius Management Type I mild type II dysplasia may only require splinting . Centralization or radialization of wrist with tendon transfer are the treatments of choice in severe type II, and in types III and IV; repair should be performed at 6 to 12 months of age. In pt with absent thumb, pollicization should be done after 6 month from 1st operation.

The Wassel description of seven types of thumb duplication provides a good structure from which an approach to management is based. The aim of surgical reconstruction is to obtain a stable, mobile thumb of ad- equate size and appropriate shape. The most common form of reconstruction is removal of the lesser digit and reconstruction of the dominant digit. Surgical techniques address the problems of deviation, instability and lack of size. The disadvantages of the Bilhaut-Cloquet procedure, these being joint stiffness and a nail ridge, may be lesser concerns when reconstruction of one digit will not create a satisfactory thumb of adequate mobility, stability, alignment and size. Complicated problems of triphalangism, triplication, ulnar dimelia and the rare circumstance in which neither of the duplicated thumbs may be adequately reconstructed present specifi c challenges which demand alternative techniques.

ABSTRACT Acute appendicitis is one of the commonest abdominal emergency encountered by a general surgeon. Understanding the surgical pathology is pivotal in identifying the stage of disease at which the patient presents for better correlation of clinical features, laboratory and imaging reports. Various scoring systems enhance and aid this process. Imaging confirms the diagnosis. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent complications. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Appendicitis may present in various forms in different clinical settings. A uniform approach to presentations may not always yield good results. Though appendectomy is the mainstay of treatment yet a tailor made surgical plan needs to be developed after holistic evaluation of the patient. The article discusses the differential surgical approach based on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and variable clinical presentations.
