The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical safety intravenous gadolinium-based contrast media used in patients who underwent MRI at a single institution. Acute adverse reactions for Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong, SAR, from January 1999 November 2004 were recorded an incidence log book. medical records patients' demographics retrospectively reviewed and nature, frequency severity investigated documented. acute 0.48% (45 with 46 reactions). these 96% mild, 2% moderate...
An AO Foundation (Davos, Switzerland) sponsored workshop "Cell Therapy in Cartilage Repair" from the Symposium "Where Science meets Clinics" (September 5-7, 2013, Davos) gathered leaders medicine, science, industry, and regulatory organisations to debate vision of cell therapy articular cartilage repair measures that could be taken narrow gap between current practice. Cell-based is already clinical use enhance lesions, with procedures such as microfracture chondrocyte implantation. However,...
Fixation of intra-articular calcaneal fractures has traditionally been guided by intraoperative fluoroscopy. Recent reports indicate that there is a role for subtalar arthroscopy in surgical fixation these fractures. The earliest described the use joint assessment during late hardware removal. It then served as an adjunct inspection open reduction and internal fixation. In its final permutation, percutaneous was performed with minimally invasive fixation, minimizing soft tissue complications...
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the healing rate and time union atypical subtrochanteric fractures treated with cephalomedullary nailing. Design: Retrospective review, descriptive, analytic study. Setting: Six level 1 trauma centers. Patients/Participants: included 42 patients 48 displaced, atypical, bisphosphonate-associated femur who underwent surgical intervention. Intervention: Cephalomedullary Main Outcome Measurement: main outcome measures were radiologic union....

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between thyroid function and short-term outcomes in elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture. Methods: Patients aged >60 years admitted from July 2009 to June 2010 who underwent surgical fixation of low-energy fracture, excluding those with pathological or periprosthetic were enrolled a retrospective observational cohort study. classified as having biochemically overt subclinical hyperthyroidism hypothyroidism, normal function,...
Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication in patients with diabetes. With current treatment, only two-thirds of heal, median duration 3–6 months. Hard-to-heal DFUs are major source morbidity and mortality. Improving wound healing via soft tissue reconstruction may be the key to improving clinical outcomes. Thus, Limb Salvage (DLS) service Sengkang General Hospital, Singapore, was established provide streamlined, one-stop, comprehensive dedicated DFU reconstruction. The...
Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effect treatment in geriatric fracture centres (GFC) on incidence major adverse events (MAEs) patients with hip fractures compared usual care (UCC). Secondary objectives included hospital-workflow and mobility-related outcomes. Design Cohort recruiting between June 2015 January 2017. Follow-up 1 year. Setting International (six countries, three continents) multicentre study. Participants 281 aged ≥70 operatively treated proximal femur...

Femoral head fractures are rare injury compared to other hip pathologies and often associated with posterior dislocation. Such fraught complications even after successful surgical fixation. Pipkin described a classification system for such fractures, dividing them into four types, of which Type III (31C.3) femoral neck fractures. These the least common worst outcomes.We report case fracture attempted relocation review literature on this topic. A 35-year-old female sustained right dislocation...
Background Mid-pole patellar fractures are typically fixed with metal implants in the conventional "11-8" tension band construct. However, this technique is fraught numerous implant-related complications. The aim of study to evaluate union rate following "all-suture" fixation mid-pole fractures. Methods We retrospectively evaluated a consecutive case series patients displaced patella treated our institution. Fifteen cases were available for study. average age was 61.5 years. Clinical and...
Uni-compartmental knee arthritis may be treated with several surgical options including uni-compartmental arthroplasty, total arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy. Non-union is a well-established common complication that arise from the latter option few reports have shown successful treatment of persistent non-union osteotomy.We present case after osteotomy autologous iliac crest bone grafting revision plating. At 1 year post-operative interval, union was achieved internal fixation. In...
