Short-term functional results of surgical management of fractures of olecranon process of ulna by locking hook plate

Background: The aim was to study functional results of fixation of fractures of olecranon process of ulna by locking hook plate.Methods: The study was conducted on 30 patients who underwent fixation of olecranon fracture by locking hook plate in department of orthopaedics, GMCH Aurangabad from September 2018 to September 2020. Patients were assessed functionally using Mayo elbow performance score and radiologically using serial follow up radiographs of elbow.Results: At 2 year follow up of 30 patients of all types of olecranon fracture treated by locking hook plate, no patient had evidence of non-union or loss of reduction or any other major complications. In our study 21 patients (70%) showed excellent results, 6 patients (20%) showed good results and 3 patients (10%) showed fair results. None of the patients in our study showed poor results. 3 patients (10%) had superficial infection which were treated by adequate antibiotics after doing culture and sensitivity testing and 4 patients (13.33%) had symptomatic metal prominence which underwent implant removal after union of fracture.Conclusions: Fixation of all types of fractures of olecranon by locking hook plate is good alternative to other methods of fixation like tension band wiring, intramedullary fixation using screw tension band wiring which are used only in selected cases. In our study we conclude that locking hook plate is excellent modality of treatment for all types of fractures of olecranon, it gives excellent functional and radiological outcome with minimal complication and stable fixation of all types of fractures including transverse as well as comminuted fractures

Multi-Communication System for Physically Disabled PeopleUsing Raspberry Pi

Today to lead our life we needed to keep running with our quick materialistic world. We express our considerations, by speaking with various individuals in various languages and in various ways Therefore there effectively. In any case, it is troublesome for physically incapacitated individuals, for example, for example, dump, hard of hearing, visually impaired and deadened to express their considerations and thoughts. Is a need to develop such a concrete solution for physically disabled people which will results as a better communication media for them. The designed system resolves the said problems. (1) Dump people can express their thoughts by pressing keyboard buttons (2) When blind/deaf person speaks, Raspberry pi based device converts it into text and displays on screen. (3) The paralyzed people by wearing flex sensor glove can express their thoughts through feasible figure movement. All these activities are possible with a unique embedded system using raspberry pi and disabled people can lead their life peacefully and independently through smooth communication of their ideas and thoughts with their family members, friends and society
