Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common causes of significant morbidity in elderly individuals. It typically manifests as painful joints affecting mobility in individuals particularly women in and after fifth or sixth decade of life. While most of the mild-to-moderate cases are managed conservatively, in severe OA total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is being increasingly done with good functional outcome. The aim of the study was to assess functional outcome in case knee OA cases treated by TKA. The study aimed to study the complication in patients undergoing TKA. Methods: Forty patients with moderate-to-severe knee OA and treated by TKA were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic details such as gender and age were noted in all the cases. Body mass index (BMI) was determined. All patients were treated by TKA. Functional outcome was assessed by Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA) as well as Functional knee clinical score (KCS). Incidence of complications was assessed during follow-up. For statistical purposes, p<0.05 was taken as significant. Results: There were 25 (62.50%) females and 15 (37.50%) males with a M: F ratio of 1:1.66. 13 (32.50%) patients were obese (BMI≥30) and 16 (40.00%) patients were overweight (BMI≥25 but <30). A total of 11 (27.50%) patients had BMI <25. The mean KCS as well as JOA scores at the time of final follow-up were found to be significantly improved as compared to KCS and JOA scores at the time of presentation and the difference was found to be statistically highly significant (p<0.05). There was a significant reduction in pain as assessed by VAS score. Total 6 (15%) patients developed complication which could be managed conservatively. Conclusion: TKA in patients with moderate-to-severe OA treated by TKA is associated with significant improvement in functional outcome and acceptable complication rate.

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the functional outcome of patients with rotator cuff injuries treated by arthroscopically-assisted mini-open repair. Methods: This was a prospective and cohort study conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics of Prakash Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and Research, Urun Islampur Dist Sangli. Forty patients with rotator cuff injuries treated by arthroscopic assisted mini open rotator cuff tear repair were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Post-surgery patients were followed up for 6 months. At each follow-up visit, functional outcome was assessed by Constant Score (CS) and University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scale. For statistical purpose, SSPS 21.0 software was used and p<0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: A total of 40 patients were included in this study out of which there were 23 (57.50 %) males and 17 (42.50 %) females with a M:F ratio of 1:0.73. The mean age of affected patients was found to be 57.07±11.31years. The most common cause of rotator cuff tear was degenerative changes which was seen in 19 (47.50%) patients followed by spontaneous rotator cuff tear (30.00%) and traumatic rotator cuff injury (22.50%). There was significant functional improvement from pre-operative to last follow-up period as shown by improved CS and UCLA scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Arthroscopic assisted mini-open surgery for rotator cuff injuries is found to have excellent results in terms of functional outcome.
