Hello friends, this is Dr. Ashish Taneja. So today I welcome you to the conceptual orthopedics arthroplasty course my talk for today will be about solving various knee and mainly focus on the surgical steps. So the various deformities can be of two types, it can be intra-articular which can be because of cartilage or bone loss, tibia vera, stress fractures, malunion or non-union of the intra-articular fractures of the tibial condyle.

There can be another component to the various deformities as well like extra-articular deformities which can be because of tibial fractures, femoral bowing or tibial bowing, some stress fracture or a prior osteotomy. So we have to solve both these components together. Through our knee replacement surgery, our focus will be mainly on the intra-articular deformity because that is something which we can correct through our knee replacement surgery.

Extra-articular often times do not need surgery per se but if there are severe deformities which are deforming the biomechanics then we may need to correct the extra-articular deformity as well. So how do you see what is intra-articular and what is extra-articular? You have to understand your angles, have to start drawing angles. So the intra-articular deformity is the angle between the femoral joint line, this one and the tibial joint line.

So this is your intra-articular deformity which is mainly because of the cartilage and bone loss here in the middle compartment. For extra-articular or total deformity you will have to have a scanogram with you. Through scanogram you will draw your mechanical axis of the femur and tibia and the fungal between the two which is your total various deformity of the limb.

If your intra-articular component is less as compared to total deformity suppose this is 15 degrees and this is 22 degrees that means there is 7 degree component of the extra-articular deformity as well which will not be corrected by your knee replacement.

So whenever your total deformity is more than the intra-articular deformity you would suspect an extra-articular component as well. In our scenario, especially in Indian settings, there are a lot of patients who come with tibial and femoral bowing that will contribute to the extra-articular deformities but again mostly we do not focus on these deformities unless they are very very substantial.

So how do you classify these deformities? Various deformities has been classified by Thienpont and Parvizi into three main types intra-articular which can be a reducible deformity in early stages can be an antromedial OA or a postomedial OA. You have to understand clearly that till the ACL is intact it starts with antromedial OA. The sequence of deformity always starts with an antromedial OA then the ACL gets damaged and the disease progresses to posterior.

So antromedial OA with ACL intact second will be postmedial OA with deficient ACL. These deformities usually are reducible. The middle compartment deformities are reducible.

You can just do a valvular stress and the deformity corrects because the MCL is not tight. However, when the MCL becomes tight it becomes a fixed deformity. It can be without lateral instability or with lateral instability.

When in the beginning it is just the MCL tightness but when the deformity progresses the LCL becomes latched. That is when it becomes a lateral unstable knee as well. This is the intra-articular deformity.

Then we have the metaphyseal deformity. The metaphyseal deformity is within five centimetres of joint 9 both on the femur and tibial side. So you will see that the wear is extending to the metaphyseal region.

There is tibia or femur wear that is happening. That is a metaphyseal deformity and diaphyseal deformity will be beyond five centimeters away from joint 9. It can be tibial, femoral or both. This is how it is.

This can be an antromedial deformity with intact ACL. This is the intra-articular deformity with postmedial involvement with deficient ACL. How do we say it’s a postmedial involvement? It is this region.

When the wear is in the postmedial aspect then we say that the ACL is now damaged and the disease has progressed to the posterior aspect as well. Then we have the fixed deformities. The fixed wear is without lateral laxity and finally, we have the metaphyseal or the diaphyseal deformities which are within five centimetres or more than five centimetres away from the joint line.

So till there it is metaphyseal and beyond this it is diaphyseal and then there can be some previous osteotomies which will be a part of metaphyseal deformities again. These are deformities, these are osteotomies which are old heel osteotomies or old fractures which will cause a metaphyseal varus deformity. Now for the varus knee, we have to understand the structures causing wearers.

Structures can be static or dynamic. So in the static structures we have the superficial MCL, deep MCL, we have the posterior oblique ligament, PCL and posterior capsule. For dynamic we have the pes anserine tendons and semimembranosus tendon.

The muscular part is the dynamic stabilizer on the medial side and the other structures like ligaments capsule and PCL will be the static components on the medial side. So these structures are mainly responsible for causing wearers. So the MCL, the POL, the posterior oblique ligament, the semimembranosus tendon, and the pes tendons, are all the tendons and muscles that are dynamic remaining are static.

You have to understand one rule regarding the release. Whenever we release the anterior structures right here then we will affect the flexion gap. When we release the posterior structures we will mainly affect the extension gap.

So this is what you have to understand. Anterior release of the medial structures will help in opening the flexion medial gap and release of posterior structures on the medial side will help in releasing the medial extension gap. This is what you should be remembering.

As we discussed, the release of anterior structures will always increase the flexion gap while the release of posterior structures like POL, and semimembranosus will increase the extension gap. Oftentimes the varus knee will always have a flexion contracture as well and by releasing PCL we will increase the flexion gap. So this is what you should be remembering.

Release of anterior structures helps in improving the flexion medial gap. Releasing of posterior structures helps in releasing the medial extension gap and PCL will help in improving the flexion gap. So this is a diagram which clearly states, this is the flowchart which states the effect of structures.

You will see most of the medial structures affect the extension gap.

Cervical Cancer Screening and Vaccination with Dr. Aditya Nimbkar

Hi and welcome everyone to today’s episode of Feature of the Day. Today is 9th of April and in a significant part of India, day is celebrated as either we call it Ugadi or we call it Gudipadva. So in Maharashtra, Gudipadva is the new year for Maharashtrians whereas Ugadi for a few other states indicates that it’s a harbinger of joy, it’s a new era, it’s the beginning of spring.

It is basically just a new beginning and hence I decided to choose a topic that has a significant importance and just a couple of days ago, according to a study, India was said to be the cancer capital of the globe and in just an example, in the current ongoing Indian Premier League, there is one feature called as most valuable player. 

Basically, the player who gives the maximum contribution to the team is given that award of MVP or the most valuable player of the team and similarly, in making India get to that first position to be called as a cancer capital of the globe, cervical cancer was the MVP of our country. It is one of most significant cancers, almost 2 lakh cases according to 2023’s WHO report, almost 2 lakh cases are detected every year and we have around 70,000 deaths.

Yes, we do have other cancers, oral cancers, breast cancer, lung cancers but the sad part about cervical cancer is that it’s a vaccine preventable. It is probably the only preventable cancer that we have currently and yet to have these high numbers is a little disappointing. So, I decided to touch down upon a few topics which included cervical screening and cervical cancer screening as well as immunization and its current status in India in today’s topic.

So, to begin with, these guidelines have been taken from FOCSI’s GPCR. GPCR is the good clinical practice guidelines from FOCSI. FOCSI is the association that controls all the gynecological societies in India.

So, it advises three main modalities for screening, cervical cancer screening. So, the first one is cytology and cytology which is probably the most famous of all of these three is the one that is commonly done in our medical colleges and we do it because it’s a very, it is not really a resource sensitive thing to be done and it can easily be interpreted by a mere microscope. It doesn’t even take much to do the sampling and it is something that can be done at every possible hospital, even a small primary health care center.

The numbers that I’ve written in the packets are the number of years at which frequency of these tests should be scheduled. So, for cytology, it has to be scheduled every three years if the tests are negative. The next test is what we call the HPV DNA test.

In this, from the sample, we check for the DNA of the human papillomavirus, the virus  that causes cervical cancer and we see if it is a high-risk DNA. So, by high-risk, I mean there are around 200 different types of HPVs. Of them, there are few around 15 to 20 of them which are high-risk and by high-risk, I mean they are the ones who are actually causing 90% of the cases of cervical cancer.

The low-risk ones cause genital warts but the high-risk ones are the ones which are dangerous. They directly cause cervical cancer. So, this HPV DNA is used to detect those high-risk DNAs, the significant ones being 16 and 18 and the third one is visual inspection under acetic acid or visual inspection by Lugol’s iodine.

The foxy though recommends this to be done by just acetic acid and not by Lugol’s iodine. In this, there’s the concept that any cancerous cell has a lot of DNA material in it. There’s a lot of chromatin in it.

So, whenever you’re putting any acid on it, in this case, we use acetic acid of almost 0.5% concentration, this chromatin or this DNA material gets coagulated and we can see it as a white spot wherever these cells are present, wherever these malignant cells are present. 

Similarly, by doing it with Lugol’s iodine, therein, the Lugol’s iodine as we have read is the one that stains, it stains glycogen or glucose stores. So, on the contrary to what we had in acetic acid, that it stained the malignant cells, in this, the Lugol’s iodine stains the normal cells and it leaves the patches on places where there are no malignant cells and we call the classic up here the yellowishness, the yellow color that we see with Lugol’s iodine on normal cells, we call it, it’s a mahogany yellow color that we classically see.

In visual inspection with acetic acid, we see classical coagulation, we see white spots. It is also to be done every five years, but it’s a very, it’s very much a thing now that is done only in lower resource settings. We now ideally prefer to do either cytology or HPV DNA or we can combine them both and do something called as a co-test.

It has much higher sensitivity and specificity and it also can be repeated every five years. Now, these were the things that were being done for several years. What are the minor changes that we have gotten? Now, the problem with cytology used to be, we used to collect it with a swab or with an IR spatula, we used to smear it on a slide and then we used to send it to the lab for testing.

Now, there were multiple problems that were arising. The first one was by collection using a swab or an IR spatula. A lot of sample, a lot of cells used to be left behind.

It’s an exfoliative test. Basically, the cells in the cervical area or in the vagina are the ones that we take for testing and a lot of cells would be left behind. So, probably a patient was getting a falsely negative report which meant that the patient probably could have had cancer but it was not being detected because we weren’t collecting the entire sample.

Plus, after putting it on the slide, it used to get dried by the air. So, by the time the sample reached the laboratory, a lot of sample would either be wasted or the sample just would not be adequate enough on the slide to be good enough for interpretation.

So, the amount of inadequate samples was increasing and we just had a 10 to 20 percent yield of good quality reports of this.

So, what we decided to do is we decided to introduce a liquid media. In this liquid media, we use a brush. We use a brush to take a swab.

So, this brush not only collects the endocervical cells but also the ectocervical cells and we put it in a liquid media. Now, in this liquid media, there is no risk of loss of cells because it is getting all adhered to the brush and we are putting it inside a jar that contains the liquid, what we call as LBC, liquid based cytology. LBC is the way we do it now.

LBCPAP or LBC HPV DNA is what we do now. So, liquid based cytology is what we do now. So, in that liquid, the amount of cells that were being wasted was also reduced and so from that 10 to 20 percent of the yield, now we started getting almost 80 to 90 percent of yield of reports and hence it is practiced or it is used now.

The only problem is that it is a slightly expensive test and is not coded at all the centers. So, these are the modalities that are advised in India for screening. The first is cytology wherein you just take a, where is you just take, you collect the cells that have been shedded by the cervix.

It is exfoliated cytology or you test for the HPV DNA by doing a PCR that is polymerase chain reaction test or you do visual inspection with acetic acid. This is about screening. We will be covering about what are the treatments for each modality of screening and what is to be done next in a separate lecture on our application.

Apart from that, in the vaccination, currently our government, just recently in this budget, the budget that was announced by our finance minister, she announced that our country has now not only started producing its own endogenous vaccine called as Cervavac which is a quadrivalent. The numbers here indicate the valency. By valency, I mean how many different DNAs do these vaccines cover.

So, it can be either a bivalent one which covers 16 and 18 or it can be a quadrivalent one which covers 6, 11, 18 and 16. Or it can cover a non-valent one which covers 9 different subspecies which includes which includes 6, 11, 18, 16, 31, 33, 45, 53, many more of them. So, basically 9 major variants and we call it Gardasil whereas the one that is significant over here is Cervavac.

Now Cervavac is a thing that is produced in India by an Indian company and it has now been put into the national immunization schedule as well for girls. Though it is advised that even boys take it because it reduces the risk of penile cancer and also the transmission of this HPV virus to women but currently in the national immunization schedule, it has been introduced for girls in the age of 9 to 15. The significance of this age is that these are the girls who are still yet to have the onset of sexual activity.

So, when you give this vaccine prior to the onset of sexual activity, it has maximum benefit whereas if you are giving it at a later age after a female has had a sexual activity earlier, the efficacy significantly reduces. Also, in this age group, you just need to give 2 intramuscular doses 6 months apart whereas when the patient is more than 15 years till the age of 27, you have to give 3 doses for them at 0, 1 and 6 months of interval. After 27 years of age, most women have had their sexual activity, the onset of sexual activity and it makes no real sense to be giving them these vaccines because the efficacy is going to be very very poor.

So, that is it for this feature of the day. So, we spoke about not only modalities of screening today which included cytology, HPV DNA and visual inspection with acetic acid. We  also spoke of HPV vaccination in that the significant one is Sarvavac that has been introduced by an Indian company and it is now included for free in the national immunization program as well.

It will be given to girls in the age group of 9 to 15 years of age and it will be given in the form of 2 doses 6 months apart. It will be given intramuscularly and will be given for free by the government. So, thank you for your listening today.

I hope with this lecture, we can bring in a new change in our family. We have several girls in our family. We have women in our family.

So, for those young girls, we can definitely advocate this vaccine. We can be the ones who administer them. We can be the one who encourages them to commit it to their friends, into their school and increase the awareness and for the women, we have our aunts, we have our sisters, we have our mothers.

For them, we can advise them to start doing these modalities of screening regularly from the age of 30 till the age of 65. That is a very significant point. In India, we started from the age of 30 and we can do it till the age of 65 and it depends on which test you are doing to determine the frequency of those tests.

I hope this lecture helps you understand this topic slightly better and I hope you all are the ones who are leading from the front to bring about this change so that 10 years down the line, we can probably shed this tag of being the cancer capital of the world at least on the front of cervical cancer. Thank you.

Debunking Common Myths About  Surgery

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

There are numerous stories surrounding surgery. It is important that surgical residents and those entering a general surgery residency not only know the truth in training but also address patient’s concerns effectively. For this reason, Conceptual Surgery intends to dispel some of the myths that abound surrounding surgical fields.

Myth 1: Surgery Is Always the Last Option
Fact: Surgery is often a proactive solution

Most people believe that surgery is only recommended when everything else has failed. While it is true that when non-invasive options, such as precautionary measures, are valid, surgery would not be needed, however, for some conditions, surgery is indeed the best and oftentimes the only solution. Such programs of surgical residency will condition professionals to look at cases in an integrated format and recommend surgery when it best offers a solution.

Myth 2: All Surgeries Are Risky
Fact: Advancements in technology and technique have made surgery much safer.

These days most surgeries are safer than they have ever been, thanks to innovative technologies and techniques in surgical tools and techniques. So, in the general surgery residency programs, residents learn to assess risk and address strategies to ensure patient safety. Proper preparations and adherence to protocols significantly reduce complications.

Myth 3: For Any Surgery, the Recovery Time Takes Forever
Fact: Many new procedures involve shorter recoveries.

Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic surgery, are changing the game. Often, patients bounce back much quicker than anticipated. General surgical residency programs emphasize training in these advanced procedures, enabling surgeons to offer faster recovery options for their patients.

Myth 4: You’re Awake During Local Anesthesia
Fact: Local anesthesia numbs the area very effectively, so pain is removed and patient comfort is ensured.

Some patients fear they will wake up during the procedure and feel everything. In fact, local anesthesia has its very own ways of ensuring pain at all times is insufferable. Surgery residents are trained in anaesthetic techniques to ensure a stress-free experience for patients. 

Myth 5: Surgeons Only Perform Surgery and Do Not Interact with Patients
Fact: Patient care is an important part of the surgeon’s duty.

Surgeons spend hours listening to their patients’ problems, explaining procedures they will perform, and guiding recovery after surgery. It is a critical aspect of surgical training, they are taught to balance surgical skills with direct patient interaction in general surgery.

Myth 6: All Surgeons Are Similar
Fact: Surgeons specialize in different fields and techniques.

Although general surgery is a cornerstone of the profession, surgeons often subspecialize in trauma, oncology, or pediatrics. In general surgery training programs, residents would be acquainted with the respective subspecialties through their rotations in a bid to prepare them for several surgical career tracks upon completion.

Importance of Debunking These  Surgery Myths

An understanding of these realities of surgery would help to build trust and confidence for scholars and surgery residency programs alike. It allows the surgery residents to deliver very high standards of care with information in-depth and an armoury of newly acquired skills.

How Does Conceptual Surgery Help in Your Surgical Career?

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Are you an orthopedic surgery resident or part of an orthopedic residency program and would like to make a difference through research? Writing and publishing impactful research is a meaningful way to contribute to medical science, enhance your expertise, and add an impressive credential to your career. 

Why Orthopedic Surgery Residents Should be Engaged in Research?

Orthopedic surgery residents engage in research, which is very beneficial in many ways:

  • Skill Development: It helps orthopedic surgery residents develop the skilful use of scientific analytical skills, improve problem-solving, and familiarize themselves with medical literature.
  • Career Advancement: It increases and adds value to your career, helping make applications to highly competitive orthopedic residency programs or specialized fellowships.
  • Improvement of Patient Care: It leads to new ideas and techniques that have direct implications on clinical outcomes.
How to Get Started in Orthopedic Research?
  1. Select Your Area of Interest: Choose a particular area that you are interested in within the field of orthopedics, it may be sports medicine, trauma, or joint reconstruction. 
  2. Find a Mentor: A mentor can guide you, work with you in creating achievable goals and provide you with feedback for your project. 
  3. Find Your Research Question: Having an extremely narrow and well-articulated research question is fundamental. Your proposed study should bridge a gap that already exists in the given field. 
  4. Join Research Projects: As a research novice, you could participate in studies already running in your programs of orthopedic residency. 
  5. Be familiar with research methods: Orthopedic surgery residents must be very familiar with the research methodology, which includes the collection of data through statistical analysis. 
Steps to Publishing Your Research

Once the research work is over, publishing is the next step toward making an impact. Here is how to work your way through the publishing process:

  1. Choose the Right Journal: Identify a relevant peer-reviewed journal that supports your research area and is well-ranked in the speciality of orthopedic surgery.
  2. Submit Properly: Submit to at least one journal. Different journals have specific submission requirements. Be sure to take a close look to ensure that your paper gets formatted appropriately, word count-wise, and has the other requirements met.
  3. Write a Clear, Impactful Manuscript: In other words, for a manuscript to see publication, one should write it clearly and clearly demonstrate that the results are logically sequenced, so it makes sense that their data and conclusions dovetail with the research question posed. 
  4. Revise and Resubmit as Necessary: Mostly, manuscripts will be returned to you with some critique or ask for a revision. Use this as an opportunity to make your work even better. Take the comments from the reviewers seriously and re-submit.
  5. Share Your Results: After publication, share your findings with your peers and mentors. You can do this by presenting or giving a lecture in your resident workshops in your orthopedic surgery residency program.

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

In today’s world medical education is rapidly changing, with new trends transforming the way we train the next generation of doctors. Advances in technology, the evolution of a more personalized approach to learning, and the need for adaptive educational models are the future of medical education. Here, we discuss some expert predictions concerning future trends in medical education.

1. Trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning

AI and machine learning are going to bring a lot of difference in medical education. They will be able to adapt to all the strengths, weaknesses, and patterns of learning pertaining to each learner. Additionally, for medicine residents, AI-powered platforms can be used to create a targeted approach for internal medicine residency training. These will both be efficient and personal.

2. Emphasis on Virtual and Augmented Reality for Clinical Skills Training

VR and AR are increasingly becoming necessary tools for deep learning, particularly in internal medicine training. It allows medicine residents to simulate procedures, analyze 3D anatomy, and discuss medical conditions just as they occur in the real world without having a patient in front of them. This approach enhances both technical and diagnostic practice in terms of confronting real-world challenges.

3. Hybrid Learning Models and Flexibility in Education

The demand for hybrid learning models has escalated, especially among the residents in medicine. This is coupled with the fact that their training frame must be adjusted and moldable to suit many demands, such as balancing the demanding schedule of internal medicine residency programs with continuing education. Hybrid models also encourage a more personalised pace of learning, which is much more essential in mastering this complex medical material.

4. Focus on Holistic Wellness and Burnout Prevention

Burnout in medicine residency programs is an important issue today. This is where the future of medical education comes in, being more about mental wellness, resilience, and work-life balance. Therefore, it will encourage medicine residents to put emphasis on the aspects of self-care alongside rigorous training to prevent them from burning out and having a sustainable career.

5. Incorporation of Global Health and Telemedicine Training

Healthcare is becoming more interconnected, and in the coming years, global health and telemedicine will be integral parts of an internal medicine residency. It will be a set of skills that doctors need – to be able to render care remotely or understand healthcare systems from around the world.

6. Data-Driven Decision Making in Medicine

Therefore, shortly, reliance on data will be all the more prominent, and most future medical education will focus on data literacy. Thus, residents will be taught how to analyse and interpret data that help make better clinical decisions and enhance patient outcomes. This is very especially true for internal medicine, where understanding complex patient data is important.
