Background- Tennis elbow is a common problem for patients whose activities require strong gripping or repetitive wrist movement’s .The present study was aimed to evaluate percutaneous surgical release against the conservative treatment.
Methods- The present study was aimed to assess the outcome of percutaneous extensor tendon release in tennis elbow (>2 months duration) and do a comparative evaluation of the group treated by conservative management. During the study period, a total of 62 patients were randomized to receive either conservative treatment (CE; n=32) or treated by percutaneous method (PT; n=30).
Results- DASH score analysis showed that DASH score was significantly decreased
(P=0.000) at 3- and 6-months in both CE and PT groups. Oxford Elbow score significantly increased (P=0.000) at 3 and 6-months in both CE and PT groups.
Conclusion- Conservative method and Percutaneous tenotomy are equally effective in managing neglected tennis elbow (>2 months).

Background: Anthropometeric study of the hip joint has important clinical implications. A through knowledge of hip joint anatomy is a prerequisite to understand its biomechanics.
Methods: It was a hospital based observational study conducted for the period of one year starting form 17th September 2015 to 16th September 2016. The study population included all patients in the age group of 18 years and above submitting to the department of Radiodiagnosis for either abdominal, lower spinal or non orthopaedic pathology of pelvic and hip region.
Results: Mean of right acetabular in males is 16.90±4.330SD and mean of left acetabular anteversion angle in males is 16.5 0±4.20SD. Mean of right acetabular in females is 18.1 0±4.80SD and mean of left acetabular anteversion angle in females is 17.6 0±4.70SD
Conclusion: There is significant side to side difference in acetabular abduction angle of male and female and abduction angle don’t change significantly with age. There is significant side to side difference in acetabular anteversion angle of male (p-value <0.05) and female and anteversion angle don’t change significantly with age. Anteversion angle found to be more in female as compared to male.
Keywords: Hip bone, Acetabular angle, CT scan.
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.
