Background: Most of lower leg external fixation are bulky and cumbersome and provides only temporary bony stabilization. Anatomically pre-contoured supracutaneous LCP has been utilized by many authors as an external fixator in patients with metaphyseal and diaphyseal fractures of tibia. Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse the end result of Supracutaneous LCP as a definitive external fixation and its effect on rate of union in metaphyseal and diaphyseal fractures. Materials and methods: A complete of 30 patients of compound fractures of tibia underwent "supracutaneous plating" of the tibia using an LCP. Average age was 44 years. Regular screw tract dressings were done. Average period of follow-up was 13 months. Results: The plate was kept ex situ for a period of 24-30 weeks. Proximal metaphysis, diaphysis and distal metaphysis united in 14 weeks, 20 weeks and 16 weeks respectively. Total of 30 patients were operated for Supracutaneous LCP of which one complicated with Infected Non-union resulting in implant removal and other complicated with Non-union which later underwent internal fixation. Conclusion: In compound fractures of tibia supracutaneous LCP are often used as a definitive external fixator because it gives good results especially for metaphyseal fractures and fewer complication rates, with Adequate stability. Advantageous effect of LCP in facilitating wound healing, cosmetic surgery procedure. Because it does not strike the contralateral leg therefore cosmetically acceptable and functional while ambulation. Because of nonoverlapping of implants fracture healing is easily assessed on x rays.

Introduction: Anterior and posterior portals used for ankle arthroscopy but anterior portals are safer, provide good access and visualisation of joint. Aims: The anatomical structures nearby portals are vulnerable to injury during surgery. To study the anatomy of ankle joint using dissection method. Methods and material: 20 cadaveric limbs were dissected and the distance of different portals to the nearby neurovascular structures was measured. Results: The mean distance from anteromedial portal to the great saphenous vein and saphenous nerve was 5.28 mm, 9.12mm and that between the medial midline portal to the dorsalis pedis artery and deep peroneal nerve was 10.08 mm and 16.20mm. The mean distance from anterocentral portal to the dorsalis pedis artery was 2.38mm, to superficial peroneal nerve was 7.09mm and deep peroneal nerve was 4.12mm. The mean distance from anterolateral portal to lateral branch of superficial peroneal nerve was 3.18mm. There was injury in one specimen. Conclusions: This present study concluded that medial midline portal is comparatively safe for ankle arthroscopy. Anterocentral portal has potential risk of injury to dorsalis pedis artery.

Incidence of new cases of a severe form of unchecked primary hyperparathyroidism is decreasing day by day. Here, we report the case of a 40-year-old female patient of primary hyperparathyroidism with a maiden visit to the hospital with multiple osteolytic lesions and multiple pathological fractures. The diagnosis was installed and managed accordingly.

Multiplication has some limits and to overcome these limitations a new approach has been describe and designed a Vedic multiplier with proposed unique addition structure, which is used to perform addition of partially generated products. To meet main concern "area" and "speed" we have came up with a need particular high speed ALU, the speed of ALU greatly depends upon the speed of multiplication unit used in it. There are numerous multiplication techniques exist now a days at algorithmic and structural level. It is been shown that Vedic multiplication is the fastest multiplication method but there are some other multiplication techniques which are batter then vedic multiplication in terms of chip area. This Proposed work is a unique architecture of 16 bit vedic with combination of 4 bit vedic multiplications and that 4 bit multiplication is been have developed with a unique addition structure. The observed results are been very good and optimised. Later on ALU module is been developed. The tool used for the designing is Xilinx XST and the target platform for validation is Vertex family vertex-4 FPGA, the preferred language is VHDL.
