Publications

➢ Swellings of sternoclavicular joint: Review of traumatic non-traumatic pathologies: - Concise review of condition affecting the SC joint and also reviewed recent literature on diagnosis and management of conditions affecting these joints. The goal of this systematic review was to evaluate the available literature on the causes of sternoclavicular swellings and their management. EFORT Open Rev. 2018 Aug; 3(8): 471–484.

➢Intra-articular Pigmentation of Synovium: An Unusual cause:- An unusual greyish brown discoloration of the Knee joint synovium was found during knee arthroscopy of a 72 year old.First report of amiodarone induced pigmentation of synovium. Published in CIOS.

➢ Maximising autologous bone grafts yield from ilium: A CT based anatomical study:- A prospective observational study carried out at King’s college hospital. The primary objective of this study was to map out the area of the maximum bone yield from a human pelvis based on the 3D CT reconstructions, localise it with radiological mapping and validate it.We wanted to provide orthopaedic surgeons with the ideal location for a cortical window relative to the ASIS and PSIS in adults. Accepted by JCDR.

➢ Evolving Arterial Occlusion presenting as Cauda equina syndrome: A rare but dangerous presentation :- A case of thrombosis of the Aorta (Leriche syndrome) presented with pure neurological symptoms with normal felt distal pulses.Presence of a primary malignancy with potential bony metastasis made the clinical picture more complex. Published on E-CIOS .

➢ Scapho-Trapezial-Trapezoid joint: A CT based anatomical study:- Reviewed CT scans of wrist joints of 113 eligible patients from our wrist database between 2009 and 2014 for our study. Reformatted multi-planar sequences were analysed. The ratio of the STm: STdin sagittal and coronal measurements was evaluated. Our assessment of the anatomical relationship of the STT joint with CT scan proves that although the area the STm joint is generally larger than the STd joint, there is no significant correlation on the whole. Published as an abstract on BJJ.

➢ DHS fixation for Evans type 1 Intertrochanteric fractures of femur: Results & comparison with conservative management. Jogia A.K, Verma S.R, Sept-1997 SGU-Thesis.
