Background: The literature comparing open and arthroscopic repair for glenohumeral instability is conflicting. We performed a prospective, expertise-based, randomized clinical trial to compare shoulder stabilization with by measuring quality-of-life outcomes recurrence rates at two years among patients treated traumatic anterior instability. Methods: Computer-generated, variable-block-size, concealed randomization allocated 196 either the open-repair group (n = 98) or arthroscopic-repair...
To compare long-term health outcome of Sanders type IV calcaneal fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus ORIF plus primary subtalar arthrodesis (PSTA).Randomized prospective multicenter trial.Four Level 1 trauma hospitals in Canada.Thirty-one patients 31 displaced intraarticular fractures.Seventeen were a standard protocol involving lateral approach for ORIF. Fourteen + PSTA.Health outcomes assessed 4 validated instruments: (1) the Short Form 36 version 2...
Objective: To evaluate the predictive factors for traumatic rerupture, reinjury, and atraumatic graft failure of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Design: Double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) with intraoperative computer-generated allocation. Setting: University-based orthopedic referral practice. Patients: Three hundred thirty patients isolated ACL deficiency were equally to (1) patellar tendon (PT; mean, 29.2 years), (2)...
Objective: To compare 3 anatomically positioned autografts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, by measuring patient-reported disease-specific quality of life at 2 years postoperatively. Design: Double-blinded, randomized clinical trial with intraoperative computer-generated treatment allocation. Patients and an independent trained evaluator were blinded. Setting: University-based orthopedic referral practice. Patients: Three hundred thirty patients (14-50 years; 183 male...

Also highlight difficulties associated with studying epidemiology using current data collection mechanisms.Epidemiologic acquired from Canadian Institute Health Information.Population-based study 1998 2007.All live births an International Classification Diseases (9th or 10th revision) diagnostic code cleft palate lip without a repair palate.Birth intervention.There...
Abstract Faculty development programs are an important part of career building and professional fulfillment for health professionals. A framework that addresses the centrality at work diverse medical careers is lacking, yet necessary, faculty to have a comprehensive positive impact. conceptual support meaningful all individuals was, therefore, constructed through exploration literature on fulfillment, planning, across paths, stages, identity groups, as well forms such mentoring. An revealed...
Professionals across caring disciplines have played a significant role in the development of virtual care, which utilizes remote technologies to offer support and services from distance. As care becomes increasingly essential, instructors must ensure students are equipped with both interpersonal abilities digital competencies, merging traditional hands-on methods online learning. Despite its growing importance, there lack comprehensive frameworks guide design delivery learning experiences...
Purpose Student mental well-being is a matter of increasing concern on university campuses around the world. Social, psychological, academic and career aspects graduate learning are enriched through peer mentorship. Peer-mentoring experiences impacts these relationships students remain underexplored in scholarship teaching learning. The purpose this study was to explore how engagement formal informal mentorship, as described by across four disciplines, social connectedness students....
In Brief Study Design. This study is a series of thoracic and lumbar spine fracture cases to assess the reliability thoracolumbar injury classification severity score (TLICS) in simulated clinical scenarios. Objective. To determine inter- intraobserver TLICS compared with Denis system, differences based on rater characteristics. Summary Background Data. Thoracolumbar have been subjected testing using less robust statistical analysis. Both systems demonstrated poor good reliability,...
The objective of this study was to explore the role peer mentorship in facilitating graduate student resiliency, knowledge acquisition, and development academic competencies. We conducted a qualitative case study, using in-person interview data from sixty-two students recruited four professional faculties (Education, Medicine, Nursing, Social Work) at large Canadian University. identified broad themes derived thematic constant comparative analysis data: (1) sharing, (2) skills development,...
While cohesive teams are essential to advancing interdisciplinary research, few frameworks exist guide team development. In this article, eight academic women adopt a participatory process of inter-relational reflexivity reflect upon our research and propose best-practice framework for sustained effectiveness collaboration.
Complications/adverse events of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery are underreported, despite pooled level 1 data in systematic reviews. All adverse events/complications occurring within a 2-year postoperative period after primary ACL reconstruction, as part large randomized clinical trial (RCT), were identified and described.Prospective, double-blind trial. Patients the independent trained examiner blinded to treatment allocation.University-based orthopedic referral practice.Three...
