Background: India is the second most populated country in the world. Effective contraception with low complication rates and high continuation rate in post-partum period can check population growth.Methods: This is a prospective study carried out at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital after ethical committee approval. 100 patients giving the informed consent were taken in the study. PPIUCD inserted in patients and they were followed up at 48 hrs, 6 weeks and 12 weeks by clinical examination and USG.Results: In this study, with PPIUCD insertion during LSCS, the expulsion and removal was observed in 4% and 14% whereas in cases with FTVD 8.33% expulsion and 12.5% removal were observed. 82% and 79.2% continued the use of PPIUCD in LSCS and FTVD respectively. The most common complain of the patients with PPIUCD were irritation because of thread. No case of pelvic infection or perforation was observed. There was no expulsion of PPIUCD when the distance of PPIUCD from fundus on USG was <10 mm.Conclusion: PPIUCD have high continuation rates with low complication rate. Distance of PPIUCD from fundus on USG is not a good indicator for predicting expulsion of PPIUCD.

Abstract Purpose To develop and investigate the results of a new, simple and versatile method of tibia- calcaneal arthrodesis that reduces limb shortening. Materials and methods This prospective study was conducted in patients who voluntarily agreed to a new operation. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. For 17 years, we have observed 14 patients with various forms of osteomyelitis, fractures and septic necrosis of the talus, who underwent a new method of tibio-calcaneal-navicular arthrodesis (TCNA). The age of the patients ranged from 23 to 75 years, (42 years on average). 2 patients were female, 12 were male. The Ilizarov apparatus was used as a fixator. The average time of immobilization in the apparatus was 4.9 months (from 3.5 to 6 months). The operations were performed by one surgeon. Results In all patients the wounds healed by primary intention. The average limb shortening 1.9 ± 0.5 cm. AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score (n=14) in all patients came up to 77,9 ± 6,8 (min 68, max 86) SD 12,8. Patients wore ordinary footwear without arch supporter and heels till 2cm. Only two female patients over 70 years used a stick. 2 patients had minor pain during prolonged walking. Conclusion Excellent and good results were obtained in all patients. The new TCNA method allows restoring the support ability of a limb, reduces shortening and improves the quality of life for patients.
