Background: This study was to find out that whether the lumbar disc prolapse at different level influence the functional outcome of patients after discectomy. Present study is of 50 adult cases admitted at D. Y Patil Medical College. Common age group involved was between 40-60 years.
The dry sliding wear performance of eutectic Al-7075-CNT-Gr composites was estimated using a pin-on-disc wear test. According to the results, the wear and friction coefficients dropped gradually as the weight % of graphite elements improved. The composite’s wear resistance increased significantly as the sliding speed increased from 1 m/s to 2 m/s at 49 N while the load remained constant. 7075-7.5 wt percent Gr amalgamated, on the other hand, had a more significant coefficient of friction as the sliding speed increased from 1 m/s to 2 m/s at 49 N. After the test, the researchers looked at how the worn-out surfaces of the specimens originated. The mechanically mixed layer of oxides and iron was used as an effective tribolayer to increase the wear resistance at more incredible sliding speeds in the wear test.
<p><strong>Background: </strong>A prospective study was done to compare the outcomes of management of fracture neck of femur by cemented hemiarthroplasty using modified Hardinge approach and conventional posterior approach<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> The 2019 to 2022 50 patients underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture. Group A (Femoral neck fracture treated using conventional posterior approach) and group B (Femoral neck fracture treated using modified Hardinge approach) with 25 patients in each group. Outcomes were evaluated based on mean surgical time and Harris hip score and SF-36.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Mean duration of surgery in minutes was more for modified Hardinge approach. Harris hip score with standard deviation for modified Hardinge Approach for follow-ups was better and statistically significant than posterior approach. Similarly, quality of life after surgery, in terms of mean SF-36 score with standard deviation for modified Hardinge approach was better and statistically significant than posterior approach. Modified Hardinge approach has fewer complications in comparison to the posterior approach. With the advantages comes a longer learning curve to operate without complications. Hence, with proper surgical technique, and proper tight closure, we prefer the modified Hardinge approach over other approaches as it had nil dislocations and abductor lurch.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Modified Hardinge approach for hip arthroplasty in elderly people with femoral neck fracture provide significant benefit in the early post operative period when compared to conventional posterior approach in terms of post operative pain, time of recovery, dislocation rate and quality of life.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
