Synovial Sarcoma (SS) is a rare type of highly aggressive sarcomatoid neoplasm, that commonly affects the extremities. Primary pulmonary and intra-abdominal SS are extremely rare. However, metastasis to lungs from other sites is far more common. Diagnosis usually depends on histopathological evaluation (HPE) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis. SS18–SSX fusion gene Cytogenetics is the confirmatory test. Here we report a case of a 54-year-old male smoker who presented with left-sided chest pain for one month primarily raised the suspicion of bronchogenic carcinoma based on chest radiograph. The further radiological evaluation demonstrated heterogeneously enhancing multiple soft tissue densities in the left hemithorax and the abdominal cavity. A diagnosis of monophasic metastatic SS was established after HPE and IHC analysis which showed spindle cells that were positive for CD 99, Bcl2, TLE 1 and D240. HPE with IHC analysis could serve as a helpful diagnostic tool to overcome the diagnostic dilemma. Metastatic workup is mandatory in all cases of SS because of the aggressive nature of the tumour.

Salivary gland neoplasms are infrequent, with a worldwide annual incidence of 1.0–6.5 cases per 100,000 people. Although pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the commonest amongst the benign salivary gland tumors and makes half of all salivary gland tumors. Its presence on the lip is quite rare. Here, we present a case of 39 years old gentleman who presented with a complaint of right upper lip gradual swelling for last two years. The lesion was excised, and histopathology revealed it to be a pleomorphic adenoma. The epithelial component was arranged in the form of tubules and nests surrounded by sheets and nests of myoepithelial cells. The stroma was myxoid and focally showed cartilaginous differentiation. No evidence of malignancy was seen. Hence, the diagnosis of Pleomorphic adenoma was made. It is recommended to excise widely but chances to recur even after several years therefore long-term follow-up is important.

Published: December 2022

Among the species of weeds with early emergence in spring is Lamium purpureum L. The plant is observed by its appearance in the form of small hearths, with relatively high densities, in addition to and in the areas cultivated with wheat. On the one hand, there was an obvious spread in agricultural areas, and on the other hand, a certain culinary and medicinal interest increased. Its spread occurs through the relatively high number of seeds it produces and their persistence in the soil. Morphological characters have shown a continuous evolution, depending on the ecotype existing at a given time. Thus, the average plant measured 13 cm in height and weighed 0.12 g of dry matter. One plant had on average 35 top-like fruit formations, and the number of nuts on a plant was 28. The nuts were 1.8 mm long and 0.8 mm thick. and the mass of one thousand walnuts was at the level of the whole experiment of 0.57 g. Significant positive correlations were obtained between the height of the plants with their weight, with the number of fruit formations and with the number of seeds/ nuts. Negative correlations were between the length of the nuts and the other characters. The determinations performed showed that the weed also adapted to the current climatic conditions in the agricultural field, with the increase of the fruiting of the plants.

Soybeans, a very valuable nutritious and cultivated plant, have recently received special attention for the improvement of new varieties. Their adaptability is increasing given the relatively large diversity of environmental conditions. Mainly the new varieties are distinguished both by the increased production of grains and by the contents in active principles as high as possible. At the same time, soybeans provide the current level required for the sustainable structure of crops on a farm. The Raluca TD variety, studied for its specific morphological characters, is one of the newest creations. Even in the conditions with recent dry periods, this variety has formed plants with heights of over 65 cm, with a total plant weight of 30 g. 3-4 branches have formed on a soybean stalk. Each plant formed 40-50 pods, weighing 15 g and 60 berries that weighed 7-10 g. The bean was 6.8 mm long, 5.8-6 mm thick, and the absolute weight of the berries was 120 g. Significantly positive correlations were obtained between these morphological characters in most cases. Insignificant situations were between the length of the grain with the other characters, between the thickness of the grain with the other characters - with two negative exceptions. The mass of one thousand berries was positively correlated with the weight of the berries on a plant and the size of the berries. The variability of the determined characters was reduced to the height of the plants and the size of the grains, average values were to the number, the grains from one pod and high values to the other characters, mainly due to the existence of the dry bottom. However, the Raluca TD variety, with improved morphological characteristics, proved to be a good adaptability to the zonal cultivation conditions.

Judges’ Perceptions of Juvenile Sexual Offending: Implications for Educative Preparation, Practice and Policy
Authors: Russell Kristan , Marsh Shawn , Knoche Victoria
Published: December 2022

Juveniles that commit sexual offenses tend to be a misunderstood population. Even professionals working in the juvenile justice system can hold misconceptions about these youth that interfere with implementing appropriate treatment and supervision services. Judges play a particularly powerful role in guiding the trajectory of intervention in these cases, but little is known about their understanding of this challenging population. To that end, the present study surveyed judges and a public reference sample to better understand current judicial perceptions of juvenile sexual offending. Results suggest that there are substantial misperceptions across participants surrounding juvenile sexual offending and offenders; however, judicial officers held more accurate information and less punitive orientations in comparison to the reference sample even when overestimating actual offending and recidivism rates. Details regarding these findings are
presented along with subsequent recommendations for judicial education and preparation for working cases involving juveniles that have committed sexual offenses.

Published: December 2022

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a police diversion program between 2008 and 2016. Youth participating in the diversion program were compared to youth not participating in diversion on the probability of, and time to, second offense using unadjusted comparisons at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months, unadjusted lifetable comparisons of time to second arrest, and Cox multivariate proportional hazards regression models. Diverted youth had significantly fewer second offenses. The rate of recidivism among diverted youth was lower than non-diversion youth at all time periods in unadjusted models, and statistically significant at 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months.

Published: December 2022

Our study examines the outcomes of remediation services provided to 1,913 juveniles who have been determined to be incompetent to stand trial and ordered into remediation services by the court. These services were offered based upon statutory guidelines legislated in 1999, through a statewide, community-based program maintained by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (VA DBHDS). Recipients of these services were eight through 18-years-old and were predominantly African-American (73%), Caucasian (21%), and Hispanic (3%). Our outcome data indicate that 76% of the youth ordered into remediation services were determined by the court to have been remediated, 19% unlikely to attain competency, and 5% had their charges dismissed. Remediation services were offered within the
community and received by the majority of the youth within three months at an estimated cost of $5,000 per juvenile. Rates of remediation differed based upon the age and mental status of the youth receiving services with 7% of youth aged eight to 10 years being remediated compared to 44% of those aged 14 to 16 years of age. Youth with a diagnosis of both intellectual disability and mental disorder were the least likely to be remediated with 51% determined to be unlikely to attain competency and an additional 28% having their charges dismissed. These outcomes are similar to those obtained with incompetent adult defendants, often through costly periods of inpatient hospitalization, raising the question of why states would not provide these due process
protections to the most vulnerable youth within the juvenile system.
Making Time for Youth: Delay and Timely Case Processing in the Juvenile Court
Authors: Chernoff William , Goe W. Richard
Published: December 2022

It is through timely case processing that the juvenile court is better primed to achieve its goals, whether these goals pertain to crime-control, treatment, legal or restorative justice, or some combination thereof. Drawing a random sample of cases (N=394) from a large Midwestern juvenile court filed between 2012 and 2016, the present study identifies factors that influence timeliness in the juvenile court. Controlling for diagnostic evaluations, failure to appear, offense severity, prior involvement, and judge idiosyncrasies, statistically significant relationships were observed between timely case processing and factors measuring caseload, judge placements, lawyer placements, pleading guilty, detention, and method of filing.
Building Blocks of Resilience: Applications for Justice Involved Youth
Authors: Merenda Frank , Ostrowski Stephanie , Merenda II Frank
Published: December 2022

This paper describes potential benefits and empirical support for applying key components of Resilience theory and its associated models to intervention strategies within the field of juvenile justice. Traditionally, practitioners have utilized aspects of resilience theory for clients and patients within psychology, social work, and medicine. However, emerging research has demonstrated that the process of positively coping with risk can minimize factors that promote delinquency and criminality. Results have demonstrated that constructs such as low self-esteem, school detachment, poor socialization, and environmental influences can be positively affected by implementing critical features of resiliency. Additionally, implications are provided for practitioners seeking to develop or improve intervention programs such as restorative justice, and recommended areas for further research are provided.
Examining What Works for High Risk Youth Involved in the Juvenile Justice System: Comparing the Effect of the Community Connections (CC) Program to Intensive Supervision Probation (ISP) Over A Nine-Year Time Period
Authors: Espinosa Erin , Sass Dan , Creswell Báez Johanna , Harper Cassandra
Published: December 2022

Using administrative data collected by an urban juvenile probation department between January 2007 and August 2016, this study compared the impact of the Community Connections (CC) program to a matched sample of youth who received intensive supervision probation (ISP) on six time-to-event variables (i.e., time to second program, detention, out-of-home placement, another offense, violation of court order, and days in program). The study included youth who were assigned to court-ordered post-adjudication community supervision and who were deemed to have a high risk of re-offending by the department’s risk and needs assessment. CC and ISP youth were matched using propensity score matching that created a final sample of 381 youth in each program. When examining the program effect of CC vs. ISP on the time-to-event variables the findings were mixed. However, across both programs, the analysis revealed that youth who
remained in the programs longer and youth with a successful program discharge generally
experienced better long-term outcomes than their peers.
Developing and Defining Staff -Youth Relationships within a Juvenile Correctional Facility
Authors: Magidson Mark , Feinstein Rachel
Published: December 2022

This study uses in-depth interviews to explore the relationships between staff and juveniles residing and working in a private juvenile correctional facility in the Midwest. Because staff play a key role in shaping the experience of incarceration and can influence the degree of rehabilitation or punishment carried out within the facility, this is a crucial dynamic to analyze for an understanding of juvenile corrections. Findings from the interviews demonstrate the importance of building trust as a basis for positive,
rehabilitative relationships with staff. Most staff expressed the shared goal of rehabilitation for the youth; however, they differed regarding the best approach for achieving this. While previous research notes the value of a mentoring relationship between staff and juveniles for rehabilitative efforts; staff at this facility varied in their perspectives of the role they played and the correctional response they found most
appropriate. Gender and age of the staff influenced these views.

Published: December 2022

Data were obtained from a county juvenile probation department in Pennsylvania to examine the predictive ability of the Youth Level of Service Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) relative to the number of days a juvenile delinquent spent in a residential treatment facility. An analysis of 152 delinquents in placement (n=152) revealed that
there is no relationship between scores on the YLS and days spent in a treatment facility. In addition, no relationship was found between days spent in placement and any of the covariates examined.
Juvenile Probation Officers’ Perceptions of Sanctions and Incentives as Compliance Strategies
Authors: Ingel Sydney , Drazdowski Tess , Rudes Danielle , McCart Michael , Chapman Jason , Taxman Faye , Sheidow Ashli
Published: December 2022

In juvenile probation, noncompliance with probation conditions is a common occurrence. To deal with this, juvenile probation officers (JPOs) may use different strategies, such as sanctions and incentives. This study uses survey and focus group data from 19 JPOs to evaluate their perceptions of the effectiveness of sanctions and incentives in reducing youth noncompliance, specifically in the form of substance use. Results show that there are two distinct groups of JPOs: those who believe sanctions are an effective deterrent strategy and those who do not. Perceptually and demographically these two groups contain significant differences. Notably, both groups have similar views of social incentives, but JPOs who believe sanctions are ineffective are significantly more likely to have positive views of tangible incentives. This study has implications for how the field of juvenile probation can target JPO perceptions to move toward incentive-based strategies rather than sanction-based strategies for reducing youth substance use.

The production and price behavior of the beef cattle market in the state of Pará, Brazilian Amazon, was evaluated with the objective of characterizing the dynamics of the market and guiding economic decisions made by agents in the beef cattle production chain. Time series of production and prices from the period 1995 to 2021 were analyzed using growth rates and the classical multiplicative method of time series. The cattle herd in Pará showed a growth rate of 4.54% per year from 1995 to 2021, and the slaughter of bovine females fluctuated throughout the historical series with the highest and lowest percentages in the years 2000 and 2011, respectively. There were three complete livestock cycles, differing in duration and amplitude. The average duration of the cycles was 7 years, with a shortening of the cycle over the period of study. Seasonal price indices are higher than 100, which is the annual average index, from September to January and lower than 100 from February to August. The highest price quotations for the arroba of fattened cattle coincide with the off-season period of beef cattle production, which is determined by the carrying capacity of pastures under the influence of weather conditions.

Published: December 2022

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) of knee is an uncommon disease defined as benign despite presenting local aggressiveness and high propensity to recurrence. Etiology is still not completely understood. It seems to be a chronic inflammation process involving synovial membranes characterized by hemosiderin deposition which leads to pain, limitation of range of motion and, if not treated, bone erosion and osteoarthritis of knee. The gold standard for treatment is surgical excision; other adjuvant or alternative therapies are described, too. We present a case series of PVNS of the knee treated with surgical excision at our institution. Functionality was assessed using the Muscoloskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) Score for lower limbs and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). Statistical analysis were performed.

At the latest follow-up, our patients’ mean MSTS score was 26.4 (30-18): 27.4 for those treated with posterior approach and 26.1 for the anterior ones. Only 5% of patients suffered local complications and 15% had a local recurrence of the disease.

Adequate pre-operative study and careful surgical excision, that should be tailored to each patient are the key to obtain a low recurrence rate.

Published: December 2022

This research intends to shed additional light on the effects of toxic leadership on employee satisfaction, motivation, and performance. Such a study on toxic leadership is required since, to date, no research in Indonesia have sought to quantify the consequences of toxic leadership on organizational leaders. Using surveys and structural equation modeling, a quantitative strategy was adopted (SEM). The research sample amounted to 400 taken from 8 locations in Indonesia. Using Google Forms, questionnaires were distributed to 400 employees and analyzed using the Lisrel 8.5 program. The results show that toxic leadership has an effect on job satisfaction (p > 0.00), toxic leadership has an effect on work motivation (p > 0.00), toxic leadership has no effect on employee performance (p < 0.00), job satisfaction has an effect on work motivation (p > 0.00), job satisfaction has effect on employee performance (p > 0.00) work motivation has no effect on employee performance (p < 0.00). The consequences of the study findings for organizations range from the process of screening and selection of leaders to creating stress management and self-resilience training to help employees deal with their emotions in healthy ways and strengthen their defenses.

İktisadi politikaların bir kısmı refah artışını odak noktasına almakta, toplumdaki bireylerin ise tek tip (rasyonel) davranış sergilediğini varsaymaktadır ancak toplumlar tek tipte bireylerden oluşmamaktadır. Bu bakış açısıyla davranışsal iktisat gibi disiplinler, geleneksel teorilerdeki rasyonalite kavramını yumuşatarak çeşitli öneriler sunmakta ve psikolojik faktörleri de dikkate almaktadır. Ne var ki bazı bireylerin bu şekilde irdelenmesi zaman zaman mümkün olmadığı için farklı perspektifler gerekli olabilmektedir. Cipolla (2021) tarafından öne sürülen ve gözlemlere dayalı olan aptallık yaklaşımı da bunlardan biri olarak hem toplumlara hem de olası zararlardan kaçınmak adına bireylere ve yöneticilere farklı bakış açıları sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma Türkçe literatürde Cipolla’nın aptallığa ve öngörülemez zararlara dair savlarını ilk kez ele alarak, ekonomiye ve toplumsal refaha dair çıkarımlar sunmaktadır.

Published: December 2022

Ticari açıklığın, küreselleşme süreciyle birlikte özellikle 90'lı yılların başından itibaren ilgi çekici bir araştırma konusu haline geldiği görülmektedir. Birçok çalışma ticari açıklık ve büyüme arasındaki nedensel ilişkiyi ortaya koymayı amaçlasa da konuyu farklı açılardan inceleyen başka çalışmalar da literatürde mevcuttur. Öte yandan, bölgesel bazda ticari açıklığı analiz eden çalışmalar hem ulusal hem de uluslararası literatürde oldukça sınırlı kalmaktadır. Ancak bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin 12 istatistiksel bölgesi baz alınarak sanayi sektöründe ticari açıklık ile tüketilen enerji miktarı arasında bir ilişki araştırılarak literatüre katkı sağlanması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu nedenle ticari açıklığın sanayi sektörünün enerji tüketimine etkisi 2015-2019 dönemi için yıllık veriler ve rassal etkiler modeli ile incelenmiştir. Kullanılan model sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, Türkiye'de ticari dışa açıklığın artması sanayi sektörüdeki enerji tüketim miktarını da artıracaktır.
PSİKOLOJİK SÖZLEŞME İHLALİNİN ÖRGÜTSEL ÖZDEŞLEŞME VE İŞTEN AYRILMA NİYETİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: SİGORTACILIK SEKTÖRÜ ÜZERİNE BİR UYGULAMA

Published: December 2022

Hem ulusal hem de uluslararası alan yazında psikolojik sözleşmenin işten ayrılma niyetine, örgütsel özdeşleşmeye, işe bağlılığa, iş tatminine ve iş performansına etkisi üzerine çeşitli çalışmalar yürütülmüştür. Fakat sigorta sektörü özelinde bu çalışmaların diğer sektörlere kıyasla daha az olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada sigortacılık sektöründe algılanan psikolojik sözleşme ihlalinin çalışanların işten ayrılma niyetlerine etkisi ve bu etki üzerinde örgütsel özdeşleşmenin aracılık rolünü değerlendirmek amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca, demografik özelliklerin, mevcut kurumda ve toplamda çalışma süresinin, çalışılan departmanın psikolojik sözleşme ihlali algısında, örgütsel özdeşleşme düzeyinde ve işten ayrılma niyetinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık yaratıp yaratmadığını ortaya koymak da amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacını gerçekleştirmek üzere SPSS 21.0 Paket Programı Process Makrosu ile Model 4’e ilişkin analizler yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada ayrıca tanımlayıcı istatistiklere ve korelasyon analizine başvurulmuştur. Analizler neticesinde psikolojik sözleşme ihlali algısının işten ayrılma niyetini pozitif yönde etkilediği ve örgütsel özdeşleşmenin de bu etkide aracılık rolü üstlendiği görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın işten ayrılmaların ve sektör içi yer değiştirmelerin sıklıkla yaşandığı sigorta sektöründe kurum içi insan kaynağını yöneten yöneticiler olmak üzere tüm yöneticilere katkı sunması beklenmektedir. Ayrıca incelenen değişkenler arasındaki doğrudan ve dolaylı ilişkilerin ortaya koyulmasının sigortacılık sektörüyle ilgili literatüre katkı sağlaması da beklenmektedir.

GELİŞMEKTE OLAN ÜLKELERDE EKONOMİK BÜYÜME: CES VE TRANSLOG ÜRETİM FONKSİYONU YAKLAŞIMI
Authors: BAŞEĞMEZ Hülya
Published: December 2022

Bu çalışma, temelde üretim sürecinde kullanılan emek girdisi artırılarak dış borç alma gereksiniminin bir dereceye kadar azaltılabileceği varsayımına dayanmaktadır. Çalışmada, CES üretim fonksiyonu ve translog üretim fonksiyonunu kullanılarak sermaye, emek ve enerji tüketimi girdi faktörleri ile gelişmekte olan 22 ülke için ekonomik girdi faktörlerinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada analiz için 1980-2016 dönemine ait veri seti kullanılmıştır. Translog üretim fonksiyonuna ait parametrelerin kestirimi için Ridge regresyon yöntemi, CES üretim fonksiyonuna ait parametrelerin kestirimi için ise doğrusal olmayan optimizasyon tekniklerinden faydalanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki yetersiz sermaye birikiminin dış borç kullanılarak telafi edilmesinin doğru olmayacağı söylenebilir. Bu bağlamda, gelişmiş ülkelere ait üretim fonksiyonunda yer alan sermaye – emek – enerji tüketimi gereksinimlerinin gelişmekte olan ülkelerde farklı ağırlıklarda düşünülebilir. Böylece, dış borç alma gereksinimi azaltılabilir.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Borsa İstanbul Turizm Endeksinde kayıtlı firmaların finansal oranlarından yararlanılarak çoklu karar verme tekniklerinden biri olan Gri İlişkisel Analiz (GİA) Yöntemi ile finansal performanslarının değerlendirmesini yapmaktır. Değerlendirme yapabilmek için, BIST Turizm Endeksinde işlem gören 8 işletmenin 2019,2020 ve 2021 yıllarına ait mali verileri doğrultusunda likidite, kaldıraç ve karlılık oranları oluşturulmuştur. Ayrıca sektörün yapısal durumunun incelenmesi amacı ile Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası’nın sektör bilançoları başlığında düzenlenen “Konaklama ve Yiyecek Hizmetleri Faaliyetleri” sektörünün I-55 Konaklama alt sektörüne ait 2016-2020 yılları arası mali verileri incelenmiştir. Yapısal analiz sonucunda, yapısal olarak BIST’ de işlem gören turizm firmalarının ve genel sektörün aktif yapısının ağırlıklı olarak duran varlıklardan oluştuğu, pasif yapısının ise sektörde ağırlıklı olarak borçlardan oluştuğu, halka açık şirketlerde ise öz kaynaklardan oluştuğu gözlemlenmiştir. Gri İlişkisel Analiz yöntemi sonucunda ise finansal performans oranlarında kaldıraç oranlarının diğer oranlara göre daha önemli olduğu, finansal performans sıralamasında ise her üç yılda da MAALT işletmesinin genel olarak ilk sırada yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir.

Background: Among the carcinomas Head and Neck surgeon encounter, carcinoma larynx is amongst the most commons. Thyroid gland is close to larynx so is its risk to be involved by laryngeal malignancies. Removing whole or part of thyroid gland may put the patient at risk of permanent or temporary hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism. In recent past a number of risk factors are nominated to predict invasion of thyroid gland by laryngeal malignancies. So, there is a need to re-consider the management of thyroid gland in total laryngectomy. Aim: To justify the management of thyroid gland in advance carcinoma larynx. Study design: The study is cross sectional Randomized Control Trial. Place and duration of study: We conducted this study in ENT Unit I of Jinnah Hospital Lahore from June 2021 to May 2022. Methodology: A total of 20 patients were included in this study and were randomly divided into two groups on the basis of management of thyroid gland. Group A underwent hemi thyroidectomy while thyroid sparing total laryngectomy was done in group B. Histological evaluation of thyroid Gland was done in group A in addition to analysis of local recurrence in both Groups. Mean duration of follow-up was 6 months. Data analysis was done by using SPSS software and is presented in tabulated forms as percentages. Results: The study showed that thyroid gland was not involved in all cases of advance laryngeal malignancies thus obviating the need of total or hemithyroidectomy in all patients with advance Squamous Cell Carcinoma Larynx. Practical implication: All the cases of advance laryngeal malignancies used to undergo total or at least hemithyroidectomy as bystander of total laryngectomy. This study helps the surgeon decide whether a patient with proven laryngeal malignancy needs thyroid gland manipulation or not, thus decreasing the morbidity of the patient and improving cost effectiveness. Conclusion: This study made us reach to the conclusion that in patients with Grade I and II SCC, with no clinical or radiological involvement of thyroid and cricoid cartilage, thyroid gland, strap muscles or skin, there is no need for manipulation of thyroid gland in patients undergoing total Laryngectomy. Keywords: Laryngeal Carcinoma, Thyroid Gland management, Total Laryngectomy with Hemi thyroidectomy,

Published: December 2022

Aim: To determine the outcome of patients diagnosed with complex fractures of tibial plateau with associated soft tissue compromise treated by using Ilizarov fixator. Study design: Prospective observational study. Place and period of study: Orthopaedic unit, Chandka Medical College SMBBMU Larkana from January 2021 to December 2021 Methods: Patients diagnosed with complex tibial plateau fracture with associated soft tissue compromise fulfilling inclusion criteria were enrolled in study. All participants were managed with Ilizarov fixator and it was removed when fracture was united clinically and radiologically. Outcome of patients was evaluated on the basis aggregate score of knee society score and knee functional score at 6month follow up. Results: Twenty seven consecutive patients met the inclusion criteria, of which 19(70.37%) were male and 8(29.7%) were female. Average age of patients was 32.37 years. All fractures healed by the end of the 4th month. Ring fixator was removed routinely at 16th weeks after initial surgery in all patients. Transient peroneal nerve injury was found in 2 patients; no patients developed deep vein thrombosis, whereas pin site infection was most common complication and occurred in 5 patients (18.5%). According to knee society score results were excellent in 15(55.55%) patients, good in 08(29.62%) patients, fair in 03(11.11%) in patients and poor in 01(3.70%) patient. Practical implication most of proximal tibial plateau fractures with soft tissue compromise are kept under observation till the soft tissue status become favorable for open reduction and internal fixation, while fixing these type of fracture with Ilizarov fixator one can provide early relief to patients and results of this study will be help for operating surgeons while managing complex proximal tibia fractures. Conclusion: complex tibial plateau fracture can be effectively treated with Ilizarov fixation method without any complication, when exposed reduction and interior fixation with plate is contraindicated due to compromised soft tissue.
