Daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is vital to the physical, mental, and social well-being of children. Early restrictions during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic included closure schools (PA) amenities across US. This study aimed examine impact on PA play behavior U.S. children provide evidence-based recommendations improve their PA. A cross-sectional, online, parent-reported survey was conducted aged 3–18 years between April June 2020 assess light MVPA using a...
Anaphylaxis prevention and management in the school setting is an important health safety issue as rates of food allergy children continue to increase. We describe development review Australian National Allergy Council best practice guidelines for anaphylaxis schools. Developed consultation with key stakeholders education settings, incorporate 7 recommendations management: aware approach; policy plans; documentation; emergency response; staff training; community student education;...
Background: Open tibial shaft fractures are an important source of disability in Latin America. High-income countries (HICs) worldwide have established standardized treatment protocols for open fractures, but less is known about their middle-income (MICs) This survey American orthopaedic surgeons characterizes fracture patterns. Methods: Orthopaedic from 20 national societies throughout America completed online assessing fractures. Demographic information was collected. Treatment patterns...
Abstract Objective: Online patient education materials in orthopaedic surgery are consistently written above the recommended grade level. However, no algorithmic measure of readability has been validated a medical context. The primary objective present study was to determine whether Flesch–Kincaid scores correlate with self‐reported utility online from American Society for Surgery Hand (ASSH). Methods: This prospective survey 35 patients one five common upper extremity diagnoses. Study...
Globally, the burden of musculoskeletal conditions continues to rise, disproportionately affecting low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The ability meet these orthopaedic surgical care demands remains a challenge. To help address issues, many surgeons seek opportunities provide humanitarian assistance populations in need. While global initiatives are well-intentioned can offer short-term benefits local communities, it is essential emphasize training integration surgeon-leaders....
Background: While surgeons in low and middle-income countries have increasing experience with intramedullary nailing (IMN), external fixation (EF) continues to be commonly used for the management of open tibial fractures. We examined outcomes extended follow-up participants enrolled a clinical trial comparing these treatments. Methods: Adults who were ≥18 years old acute AO/OTA type-42 shaft fractures randomly assigned statically locked, hand-reamed IMN or uniplanar EF. These reevaluated 3 5...
Aims While interdisciplinary protocols and expedited surgical treatment improve the management of hip fractures in elderly, impact such interventions on patients specifically undergoing arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture is not clear. We sought to evaluate efficacy an protocol with who are treated arthroplasty. Methods In 2017, our institution introduced standardized protocol. retrospectively reviewed adult underwent hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total (THA) between July 2012 March 2020,...
Abstract Objectives: Open tibia fractures are associated with substantial morbidity and impact on quality of life. Despite increasing incidence in low-resource settings, most open fracture research comes from high-resource settings. This study aimed to assess the socioeconomic status treatment modality evaluate predictors health-related life following Ghana. Design: A single-center prospective observational was conducted Kumasi, Ghana, May 2020 April 2022. Adults tibial shaft presenting...
Introduction: Interest in clinical rotations low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has grown among high-income country (HIC) orthopaedic residents. This study addresses the following questions: (1) What motivates HIC surgical residents to rotate LMICs? (2) is impact of on residents? (3) are LMIC partner perceptions collaboration? Materials Methods: A search strategy multiple databases returned 3,740 unique articles pertaining resident motivations for participating LMICs or host...
Open tibia fractures are a major source of disability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to the high incidence complications, particularly infection chronic osteomyelitis. One proposed adjunctive measure reduce is prophylactic local antibiotic delivery, which can achieve much higher concentrations at surgical site than safely be achieved with systemic administration. Animal studies retrospective clinical support use gentamicin for this purpose, but no high-quality trials have...
Low enrollment rates are a threat to the external validity of clinical trials. The purpose this study was identify factors associated with lower in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving orthopedic procedures.We performed search PubMed/MEDLINE for RCTs that involved any surgical procedure, compared different intraoperative interventions, were published English peer-reviewed journal between 2003 and 2014, reported numbers both enrolled eligible subjects. primary outcome rate, defined...
Aiming for a combined cup and stem anteversion within target range is one way to assess appropriate prosthetic component orientation restoration of functional motion. We describe surgical technique that allows the surgeon using handheld accelerometer-based navigation system total hip arthroplasty through posterior approach. The femur prepared first, at which time femoral version estimated by surgeon. acetabular then positioned estimate anteversion, with goal providing 37° ± 7°. described...
Studies of in-service training demonstrate repeatedly the difficulty transferring to routine work staff. One likely explanations for this is recurring absence an educational and organizational needs assessment guide training. Such assessments can play a critical role in defining management support, goal setting, selection trainee group analysing readiness staff organization intervention. The present study summarizes extends prior research field mental health by conducting comprehensive...
To determine the international reliability and validity of modified Radiographic Union Scale for Tibial fracture (mRUST) scoring method open tibial shaft fractures based on ratings radiographs by separate groups North American Tanzanian surgeons.Seven 9 surgeons viewed 100 pairs AP lateral obtained in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. The showed 25 patients' at 4 time points postfracture after treatment with either external fixation or intramedullary nailing. Surgeons evaluated each using mRUST...
