ABSTRACT
There has long been a relationship between India, China, and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). The Silk Route served as this triad's conduit to Europe and other western countries historically as well. The major declarations made during the first fictitious India-Central Asia conference under Prime Minister Modi and the competition for the same from his Chinese counterpart show how important Central Asia is to both India and China even now. Even though Central Asian countries and both China and India are members of the S.C.O., there is still a geopolitical struggle and a tremendous game going on. India and China's engagements are still influenced by Afghanistan in distinct ways. This research will discuss the historical and contemporary patterns of Indian and Chinese interactions in Central Asia. By obtaining access to the world's supply systems via Central Asia, it would also draw attention to the struggle for supremacy. As both India and China have enormous production facilities, the huge and untapped market and the availability of raw resources will eventually strengthen these interactions
ABSTRACT
Background: Olecranon process is a large, curved eminence comprising of the proximal and posterior part of the ulna. It lies subcutaneously which makes it more vulnerable to injury. Due to intra-articular extension of fractures, anatomical reduction and early mobilization should be achieved in every case and usually managed surgically. Aims and Objectives: To access the results of reconstruction plate in fracture olecranon.Materials &Methods: This was a prospective study consisted of 25 cases of olecranon fractures which were managed by open reduction and internal fixation using 3.5mm reconstruction plate. Patients were followed up every month till 6 months. At each follow up visit clinical and radiological parameters were assessed: Final assessment was done at 6 months using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score.Result: According to the AO classification, Type A-1 � 7 cases, A-3 � 1case, B-1 � 13 cases, B-3 � 1 case, C-1 � 1 case, C-2 � 1 case, C-3 � 1 case. An adequate reduction was maintained in all fractured olecranon until union. Average radiological union time was 12 weeks in 72% cases, 15 weeks in 16% cases, 18 weeks in 8% cases and > 18 weeks in 4% cases. The results were graded as per the criteria laid by Rogers et al as excellent in 84% cases, good in 12% and unsatisfactory in 4% cases. 2 cases developed superficial infection and 1 deep infection and 1 delayed union.Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation of fracture of olecranon with 3.5mm reconstruction plate is based on sound biomechanical principle with a good functional outcome and a low incidence of complications
