However, long-term results these different casting positions are lacking. Patients methods This randomized, controlled, prospective study evaluates costs of 2 65 DRF. Primary end point this was...
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether operative treatment for distal radial fracture reduces the length sick leave and costs treatment. We identified 19,995 patients from a registry who received state allowance between 2010 2019 owing fractures. compared these operations 4346 operated patients. Operated had mean 75 days, whereas non-operated 63 days. In group, cost €7505 (UK£6419; US$8070), which 34% higher than in group. Over analysed period, duration decreased. Although...

This often led congestion of wards and rooms while, for less urgent traumas, the time spent waiting became unacceptably long. The purpose this study was evaluate flow coded green in a traffic light-based coding process aimed at decreasing burden on enabling scheduled Central Finland Hospital.Operation urgency divided into three categories: (>48 h), yellow (8-48 red (<8 h)....
Abstract Management of the operative treatment fractures is challenged by daily variation in patient flow. For upper limb there has recently been an increasing tendency to temporarily discharge wait for a daytime operation be performed during next few days. The objective this study was safety controlled delay surgery. Upper (N = 1 944) treated level 2 trauma center from 2010 2016 were identified and included retrospective cohort with 5-year follow-up.
