Importance Hip fractures in older adults are serious injuries that result disability, higher rates of illness and death, a substantial strain on health care resources. High-quality evidence to improve hip fracture regarding the surgical approach hemiarthroplasty is lacking. Objective To compare 6-month outcomes posterolateral (PLA) direct lateral (DLA) for patients with acute femoral neck fracture. Design, Setting, Participants This multicenter, randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing DLA...
Abstract Purpose Olecranon fractures are common and typically require surgical fixation due to displacement generated by the pull of triceps muscle. The most techniques for repairing olecranon tension-band wiring or plate fixation, but these methods associated with high rates implant-related soft-tissue irritation. Another treatment option is an intramedullary screw, less known about results using this strategy. Thus, purpose study was report clinical functional outcomes treated cannulated...
Little is known about the exact incidence of necrotizing soft tissue infections. The few incidences reported in international literature are not directly relatable to Netherlands, or other European countries, due geographic heterogeneity causative micro-organisms involved. This resulted aim this study map incidence, mortality rate and hospital course fasciitis infections Netherlands gain insight associated health care burden.This nationwide retrospective database used three distinct data...
The objective of this study was to analyze complications and patient-related functional outcome after antegrade intramedullary Kirschner-wire fixation metacarpal shaft fractures. All consecutive patients treated from January 2010 until December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed using patient logs radiographic images. Indications for operative angulation > 40°, shortening 2 mm, or rotational deficit. Complications registered the logs. Functional assessed with Patient-rated wrist/hand...
A case of complicated lateral subtalar dislocation is presented and the literature concerning this injury reviewed.Subtalar joint dislocations are rare often result a high-energy trauma.Complications include avascular necrosis talus, infection, posttraumatic osteoarthritis requiring arthrodesis chronic instability.Negative prognostic factors dislocations, total talar extrusions, associated fractures.A search was performed to identify studies describing outcome after dislocation.Eight...
Background: Untreated bony mallet fingers can cause an array of problems; therefore, adequate treatment is essential. The primary aim this study was to determine the patient-reported functional outcome delayed surgical intervention fingers. secondary complication rate intervention. Methods: In single-center retrospective cohort study, all consecutive patients treated between 2010 and 2016 at our level 2 regional teaching hospital were included. Inclusion criterion a finger injury (excluding...
The primary aim of this study was to identify if there is an association between the operative time initial debridement for necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) and mortality corrected disease severity.A retrospective multicenter conducted all patients with NSTIs undergoing surgical debridement. outcome 30-day mortality. secondary outcomes were days until death, length intensive care unit (ICU) stay, hospital number surgeries within first 30 days, amputations definitive wound closure.A...
A 10-year-old girl presented to the emergency department with proximal radioulnar translocation and radial head fracture, after fall onto an outstretched hand. Open reduction was used reduce stabilise elbow joint which fixated by Kirschner wires. Three months surgery, full range of motion regained union achieved. Proximal is a rare injury often missed on initial radiographs. Persistent restriction forearm rotation seemingly normal configuration must trigger take closer look at relationship...
Case: A 14-year-old girl was diagnosed with nonunion of an isolated capitate fracture 5 months after she first presented to the emergency department. The treated by cancellous proximal bone graft and screw fixation. This current case provides details surgical fixation method long-term functional outcome a follow-up 18 following Conclusions: Persisting localized tenderness over should be indication perform additional computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scan. Nonunion fractures...
Background Intraarticular fractures represent approximately 60% of all distal radial fractures; their treatment remains controversial. Open reduction and internal fixation with fixed-angle volar locking plates appears as a new effective way for treating these fractures. Methods Twenty-six consecutive patients older than 50 years displaced intraarticular the radius (AO/ASIF type C) were treated plating. Prospectively acquired data reviewed retrospectively. The median follow-up period was 33...
Background: The objective of this study was to analyze complications and patient-reported functional outcome after antegrade intramedullary Kirschner-wire fixation displaced subcapital fractures the fifth metacarpal bone. Methods: All consecutive patients treated from January 2010 December 2015 were retrospectively identified using patient logs radiographic images. Indications for operative angulation greater than 40 degrees, shortening less 2 mm, or rotational deficit. Complications...
Background: The aim of this study was to identify the cause death in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) stratified by patient's pre-existing comorbidities (American Society Anesthesiologists [ASA] classification 3/4 vs. ASA 1/2). Differences clinical presentation, mortality rate, and factors associated between those two comorbidity groups were investigated. Patients Methods: A retrospective multicenter NSTIs 2010 2020 conducted. primary outcome within first 30 days....
