Chondrosarcoma is a malignant chondrogenic tumour that can arise in two forms, namely primary and secondary chondrosarcoma. It normally arise in middle-aged and elderly patients and most commonly affect the pelvis, proximal femur and scapula. In middle-aged and elderly patients with pelvic bone tumour, metastases from visceral organ must be considered namely thyroid, lung, breast, kidney, colorectal and prostate
Neglected Developmental Dysplasia of Hip : A Case Report
Developmental dysplasia of hip is where the ball and socket joint of the hip does not properly form and usually was detected early in babies and young children. This a case report of case report of a DDH in a young adult
Tuberculous Knee Joint - A Case Report
Tuberculosis is an ancient disease that is still a major morbidity worlwide. Along with the increase in prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis, skeletal tuberculosis seems to be on the rise too. The complication of joint related tuberculosis can be very disabling and may impede the function of an individual if left untreated.The incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is ranging from 2- 20% and in Malaysia it represents 10% of cases, of which skeletal tuberculosis may range from 1-20% ofall extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In Sarawak, osteoarticular tuberculosis has been encountered in the spine, hip, knee, elbow and wrist
Clinical Characteristic & Outcome of Total Hip Replacement in Femoral Neck Fracture Treatment in Sarawak General Hospital
Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most common operative managements for femoral neck fracture for elderly. However, THR of femoral neck fracture is associated with morbidity. We analyzed clinical characteristic and functional outcome of patients 1 year after total hip replacement in femoral neck fracture in SG
DOUBLE-BLINDED PROSPECTIVE TRIAL OF PREGABALIN IN MANAGEMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT PAIN
Total knee replacement is one of the most common elective
operations being done nationwide in Orthopaedics department
with average cases of 10 – 15 a month in every tertiary hospital in Malaysia. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage”
We hypothesized that adding oral pregabalin 150mg one hour
prior to surgery and 75mg 12 hourly for subsequent two days will improve the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and better range of movement of knees with no increase in side-effects in patients post total knee replacemen
Fracture Neck Of Femur - A Local Experience
Hip fractures is one of the commonest in elderly patients with various co-morbidities. The incidence of hip fracture in Malaysia is about 90/100 000 population and commoner
in women.1 Mortality rate within six months after femoral neck fracture is reported at about 11-23% and 22-29% at one-year worldwide. Therefore, we evaluate all the neck of femur fracture patients who were admitted for surgery to create a greater understanding of peri-operative risk and possible correlation to post-operative prognosis

INTRODUCTION:
Bilateral clavicle fracture is a rare occurrence and
associated with high energy trauma.1 We would
like to present a case report of a patient sustained
bilateral clavicle fracture after a low energy
trauma
Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty with Restoration Gap II Cage Post Fracture Dislocation of Femoral Head and Neck with Acetabulum Fracture
Fractures of the femoral head infrequently accompany hip dislocations with acetabulum fracture, but create complex therapeutic dilemmas. The injury is likely due to highenergy trauma during a motor vehicle accident in a younger subject. The combination of both injuries results in joint stiffness and osteoarthriti
Newborn with Congenital Isolated Radial Nerve Palsy
Isolated radial nerve palsy in neonate is rare entity due to under-reporting as uniformly it has complete recovery. Theory including radial nerve compression due to isolated compression certain bony prominences intrauterine. Review literature
of late only up to 56 cases reported. Despite with
conservative management, it shows complete recovery
Acetabular Reinforcement Ring For Acetabular Bone Defect In Total Hip Replacement
Acetabular revision surgery in patients with severe acetabular deficiencies requires a good fixation of the acetabular cup. Used of GAP 2 with bone graft provides excellent results in this condition
