<h3>Importance</h3> Decision-making on management of proximal femoral fractures in frail patients with limited life expectancy is challenging, but surgical overtreatment needs to be prevented. Current literature provides insight into the true outcomes nonoperative and operative this patient population. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate vs institutionalized older expectancy. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This multicenter cohort study was conducted between September 1, 2018, April 25,...
All trauma patients with a cervical spinal column injury or mechanism of the potential to cause should be immobilised until is excluded. Immobilisation entire patient rigid collar, backboard, head blocks tape straps recommended by Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines. However there insufficient evidence support these guidelines.To analyse effects on range motion addition collar strapped backboard.The active spine was determined computerised digital dual inclinometry, in 10 healthy...
This study aimed to evaluate the intra- and interobserver agreement for both fracture classification according Schatzker treatment plan of tibial plateau fractures using plain radiographs alone with computed tomography (CT) scans. The was carried out prospectively assess impact an advanced radiographic on fractures. Eight experienced observers (six surgeons two radiologists) classified 15 CT scans set up a plan. Agreement measured kappa coefficients. Using alone, mean coefficient 0.47, which...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the current standard of care regarding empirical antimicrobial therapy in fracture related infections (FRI), METHODS: Design : Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Level I Trauma Center. Patient Selection Criteria: Adult patients treated for FRI with surgical debridement and antibiotics between September 1 st 2014 August 31 2022. Patients were excluded if less than five tissue samples culture taken, results negative or there was an antibiotic free window three days...
The authors have investigated dysprosium [Dy]-DOTA-PAMAM, generation 5 (G = 5) dendrimers as a possible new class of macromolecular T2 contrast agents. use DOTA provides metal complex with greater stability than can be achieved using DTPA ligand, an important factor in the design blood pool agents long half-lives.Generation ammonia-core PAMAM were linked to bifunctional ligand p-SCN-Bz-DOTA. After determination number conjugated molecules by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, Dy3+ was titrated...
To evaluate accuracy of fracture detection and therapeutic impact a single-shot CT protocol as primary imaging tool in all patients with clinical suspicion wrist injury, the resulting on therapy.We performed single-institution study fractures carpus. All underwent conventional radiography, thereafter CT, then 1-year follow-up. Physicians radiologists prospectively scored likelihood presence five-point scale before after CT. Three surgeons proposed treatment regimen (functional, cast,...
Binocular disparity provides one of the important depth cues within stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology. However, there is limited research on its effect learning a 3D augmented reality (AR) environment. This study evaluated binocular acquisition anatomical knowledge and perceived cognitive load in relation to visual-spatial abilities. In double-center randomized controlled trial, first-year (bio)medical undergraduates studied lower extremity anatomy an interactive...
Pre-hospital spinal immobilisation by emergency medical services (EMS) staff is currently the standard of care in cases suspected column injuries. There is, however, a lack data on characteristics patients who received during pre-hospital phase and adverse effects immobilisation. The objectives this study were threefold. First, we determined blunt trauma with injuries immobilised EMS staff. Second, assessed choices made regarding techniques reasons for Third, researched possible...
Study Design. Cadaveric radiostereometric analysis study. Objective. To quantify the ability of five commonly used immobilizers to restrict cervical spine movement, including intervertebral in three directions. Summary Background Data. Evidence about many clinically movement is limited. Furthermore, their effect on unknown. Methods. Radiographic inert beads were implanted vertebral bodies fresh-frozen human cadavers. After application different (Stifneck, Sternal Occipital Mandibular...
Current immobilization techniques of the cervical spine are associated with complications including pressure ulcers, discomfort, and elevated intracranial pressures limited access to thorax airway. In this study, a newly developed craniothoracic immobilizer (Pharaoh mattress) for critical care patients injury was tested its restriction movement, peak interface pressures, comfort, radiolucency, compared headblocks strapped spineboard. Cervical movement measured by roentgen...
Study Design Interobserver and intraobserver reliability study. Objective The aim of this study is to validate a new classification system external cervical spine immobilization devices by measuring the interobserver agreement. Methods A system, with five main categories, based on anatomical regions which device supports, was created. total 28 independent observers classified 50 photographs different devices, designed immobilize according proposed system. At least 2 weeks later, same were...
Surgical management of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures in adults leads to better union rates, improved early functional outcomes, and increased patient satisfaction compared with nonoperative treatment. However, both intramedullary fixation plate osteosynthesis are subject a specific array disadvantages complications. The Anser Clavicle Pin is novel device designed address these aim this study was evaluate the rate, complications at 1-year follow-up.A prospective explorative case...
<p>Medical students consider anatomy, neurology, and traumatology as difficult study topics. A recent showed that the daily quiz ‘Two Opportunities to Practice per day (TOPday)’ positively supported biomedical in analyzing solving biomechanical problems. The main purpose of this was investigate effect TOPday on self-confidence, enthusiasm, test results for topics neurology traumatology. Second-year medical were enrolled a four-week course human skeletal system at Radboudumc (n = 799)....
