The morphology of the knee joint has been proven to vary considerably amongst the various ethnic groups, genders, and morphotype of the patients. Having a normative data for a particular population subset is important as it helps to design the knee joint prosthesis that will have the best fit and size for the knees. 1) Suboptimal sizing and placement leads to various issues like patellar maltracking, persistent pain, early loosening, loss of bone stock, and increase in propensity of periprosthetic fractures. 2) Literature review revealed a striking paucity of information on anthropometric measurements of Asian knees. Most of the anthropometric data currently available for Indian knees are derived from measurements made on osteoarthritic knees. 3,4) Heidari 5) showed that the presence of osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis, bone attrition, and

Introduction: Treatment of proximal humerus fractures always holds a dilemma for the treating surgeon.

Pseudotumors are not uncommon complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and may occur due to differences in bearing surfaces of the head and the liner ranging from soft to hard articulation. The most common causes of pseudotumors are foreign-body reaction, hypersensitivity and wear debris. The spectrum of pseudotumor presentation following THA varies greatly-from completely asymptomatic to clear implant failure. We report a case of pseudo-tumor formation with acetabular cup aseptic loosening after revision ceramic-on-metal hip arthroplasty. The patient described herein underwent pseudotumor excision and re-revision complex arthroplasty using a trabecular metal shell and buttress with ceramic-on-polyethylene THA. Surgeons should be aware of the possibility of a pseudotumor when dealing with revisions to help prevent rapid progression of cup loosening and implant failure, and should intervene early to avoid complex arthroplasty procedures.
