Abstract Background COVID-19 outbreak lead to nationwide lockdown in Finland on the March 16th, 2020. Previous data regarding patient load emergency departments during pandemics is scarce. Our aim describe effect of national and social distancing number reasons for department (ED) visits inpatient admissions three large volume hospitals prior after epidemic Finland. Methods Data this register-based retrospective cohort study were collected from ED’s Finland, covering 1/6 Finnish population....
Although optimal treatment of distal radius fractures is controversial, surgery has gained popularity. The purpose this study was to evaluate recent trends in the surgical Finns aged 50 years or more. A nationwide hospital discharge register-based conducted among all patients age older who had a surgically treated fracture Finland between 1998 and 2016. number rate different procedures were calculated per 100,000 person-years. Altogether 21,965 identified. During period percutaneous pinning...
Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are the second most common fractures, after hip seen in clinical practice. The high incidence of low-energy trauma DRFs elderly patients raises questions about best treatment method terms function, pain, and quality life. Although majority these treated non-operatively with cast immobilization, valid scientific evidence optimal immobilization is lacking. In addition, several publications, including Cochrane review have outlined need for more to determine...
Background and purpose Non-operative treatment is the most common option for older patients with distal radius fracture (DRF). Traditionally, wrists have been placed in volar-flexion ulnar deviation position (VFUDC). In recent years, there has a trend towards using functional cast (FC). 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...
To investigate long-term outcomes associated with distal radius fracture (DRF) in working-aged patients. The authors hypothesized that the majority of patients experience no permanent loss function when measured patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE).This was a retrospective cohort study DRF aged between 18 and 65 years. primary outcome measure PRWE score at minimum 4 years after DRF. Secondary measures were pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) radiographic measurements.Of 201 included, 179...
In the literature, there are numerous studies that compare different surgical procedures in treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF). It is, however, unknown whether operative and better restoration anatomy with volar locking plate yields a functional outcome elderly population when compared non-operative treatment. This study is prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center trial. The purpose will be to initially or early malaligned patients aged 65 older. primary this patient rated...
Background Distal radius fractures are common and the cornerstone of treatment remains immobilization wrist in a cast. At present, there is scarcity studies that compare different cast methods. The objective study was therefore to volar-flexion ulnar deviation functional position dorsally displaced distal fracture among elderly patients. Methods findings We performed pragmatic, randomized, controlled trial three emergency centers Finland. After closed reduction fracture, placed either or...
prominent changes in the rate of postoperative complications or laboratory findings were not observed.In conclusion, incidence complicated appendicitis did change during COVID-19 pandemic.Although number patients with acute decreased, observed, indicating that sought ED help when they had abdominal pain.
Among the working population, a transient loss of ability due to distal radius fracture (DRF) has societal impact in terms sick leave. Non-operative cast immobilization is most common treatment option for DRF. However, these fractures are increasingly treated operatively. This retrospective cohort study patients aged 20-64 with DRF compares effects different strategies on leave length and overall cost treatment.Multivariable regression analysis was used modality as an exposure outcome. Sick...
The recent adoption of endovascular and hybrid methods in the management massive bleeding following trauma to torso junctional areas has been a major advance care. Resuscitative balloon occlusion aorta (REBOA) is one tool tackle immediate exsanguination such cases. To take advantage methods, rapid femoral artery access crucial. In rural hospitals surgeon, vascular surgeon interventional radiologist may not be hospital during on-call hours. Furthermore, gaining arterial an infrequent...
