5. Periprosthetic Femur Fractures in Octogenarians : Are plating system The Answer ?

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2007, Volume 4 , Number 2

• 23 cases of peri –prosthetic femur fractures
• treated with Dall-Miles cable plate or Mennen plate
• High failure rate with plating system in comparison to when femur stem Revised to a long stem .

6. Management of Peri Prosthetic Femur fractures. What works?

D.D. Shukla, F.Ryan, C.Mukundan

Injury Extra, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2007, Page 27-28

• Study looking at the outcome comparing plating v/s intra medullary fixation method of fixation and looking at the outcome.
• High failure rate observed with plating systems and high incidence of locking screw fixation failure and stem migration observed with Cannulock stems.
• High failure rate with plating system in comparison to when femur stem Revised to a long stem .

7. Corrosion of Cemented Titanium Femoral Stems :

S.Thomas, D.D. Shukla, P.D. Latham

• JBJS ( Br.) 86-B, No.7, September 2004, Pages 974 – 978
• Crevice corrosion in titanium cemented stems requiring revision surgery
• 12 cases of painful cemented femoral titanium stems showing classical fusiform cortical thickening in Zones 3,4,5 in all cases requiring revision surgery

8. Outcome of Intra articular fractures of Distal Humerus in Adults.

Mr. D.D. Shukla

• 42 cases of AO type B and C variety treated with open reduction and internal fixation
• Poor outcome identified with unstable fixation and type C3 fractures irrespective of type of fixation.
• Olecranon osteotomy is likely to give better result in comparison to triceps approach

D.D. Shukla

Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery, USA. September 2002,Vol. 41, Number 5, 328-329

• correlation of spontaneous rupture of tendon with poor arterial circulation of limb , in absence of other predisposing factors.

10. Intra-capsular Fracture Neck of Femur : Can we fix it better ? Bio Geometric Study.

D.D. Shukla

• Bio Geometric study of 20 Cadaveric proximal femur bones with CT Scan
• Analysis of two different triangular configuration for Cannulated screws fixation
• Conclusion : Reverse triangular configuration for Cannulated screws fixation is likely to achieve better, stable and reliable fixation.
