Abstract Background Proximal humeral fractures are a common injury accounting for significant workload across orthopaedic departments. Though often managed non-operatively, surgical management is indicated proportion of patients. Aims The aim this study to examine the trends in proximal within Ireland over past 13 years. Methods A retrospective review Irish Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) data was performed between January 2009 and December 2022. Information regarding demographics...
Colorectal cancer screening has resulted in an increased detection of early premalignant rectal lesions. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) is a minimally invasive procedure for the resection dysplastic and selected malignant lesions with organ functional preservation. The aim this study was to assess factors associated positive margin underlying component.This analysis prospective consecutive series all TEMS procedures performed over last 10-year period. Data collated from hospital...
Thorough documentation is of utmost importance in a patient hospital experience. It forms an accurate record inpatient stay, facilitates handover between medical colleagues, and also legal document. Medical notes tend to be detailed insightful on admission, but the daily ward round have often fallen short expectation. With most records entered by junior level staff, it important ensure that adequate occurs.We analyzed charts at set periods compared them against standards out Royal College...
The significant risk factor for hip OA is abnormal joint morphology. Labral tear occurs secondary to femoroacetabular impingment and decreases the ability of maintain normal synovial fluid pressure. Labrum acts as a gasket leads uniform distribution With tear, leaks lubrication compromised leading loading early OA. To find association between labral Osteoarthritis. Hip Osteoarthritis one most common disabling conditions affecting people at elderly age. A associated with onset provides tight...
Case: Hip dislocations with associated acetabular fracture are rare events usually high-energy trauma. We describe an unusual case of low-energy dislocation sustained by a 30-year-old athletic male athlete during high-intensity training program. Conclusion: Correct execution programs is important. Healthcare professionals as well participants and instructors extreme conditioning should be aware this serious complication. Avoidance injury may possible increased interval recovery improved technique.
Primary synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign neoplastic process, in which cartilaginous nodules are produced the subsynovial tissue. It has 3 main subtypes (intra-articular, tenosynovial and bursal). We present case of 61-year-old female, with mass involving her right thumb for at least 5 years, had recently increased size. X-ray showed soft tissue mass, without calcification or any underlying bony abnormality. Ultrasound MRI 6-cm surrounding flexor pollicis longus tendon thumb. The...
Abstract Background Post-operative management regimes vary following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of unstable ankle fractures. There is an evolving understanding that extended periods immobilisation limitation weight-bearing may lead to poorer clinical outcomes. Traditional non-weight bearing cast prevent loss fixation, this practice continues in many centres. The purpose trial investigate the safety efficacy immediate (IWB) range motion (ROM) exercise ORIF fractures with a...
Background: Metal on metal total hip replacements (THR) and resurfacings (HR) are associated with cobalt chromium release, which causes local tissue reactions. As a result, there is implant failure secondary to reaction osteolysis, resulting in loosening. These metals also detectable the bloodstream of patients. The ratio levels these ions postulated be different two types replacement.
Background: Hip fractures represent a significant burden to every Orthopaedic department. Patients with hip are at risk of gastrointestinal stress ulceration. In other specialities prophylactic proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) used reduce the associated morbidity. It is not common practice prescribe PPIs patients who admitted fractures. This may lead an increased morbidity ulceration in this patient population.
ABSTRACT Objective Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is traditionally an operation of the elderly. In past few decades we have seen younger patient cohorts undergoing THA and increased activity levels in elderly cohorts. Guidelines not been developed on return to sporting after THA. At present sport dictated by surgeon preference advice. The aim this paper assess attitudes practices toward Irish surgeons performing a minimum forty total replacements per annum. Design Web-based survey, level...
