The objective was to compare the rates of union and infection in patients treated with without fasciotomy for acute compartment syndrome (ACS) operatively managed tibia fractures.This a retrospective review.The study conducted at both Level 1 II trauma center.Patients operated tibial plateau fractures (group 1) shaft 3) ACS requiring were matched (plateau: group 2, shaft: 4) 1:3 ratio age, sex, fracture pattern, open/closed injury.Surgical treatment provided plates/screws (plateau fractures)...
Background: The ability to return running and sports participation after lower extremity limb salvage has not been well documented previously. Although the ambulate without pain or assistive devices is generally a criteria for good outcome, many patients at our institution have expressed desire more athletic lifestyle include participation. purpose of this study was investigate types endeavors high-energy trauma were able pursue salvage. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed who least 12...
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that sclerostin blockade is anabolic for bone. This study examined whether systemic administration of antibody would increase implant fixation and peri-implant bone volume in a rat model. Methods: Titanium cylinders were placed the femoral medullary canal ninety male Sprague-Dawley rats. One-half rats (n = 45) received murine (Scl-Ab, 25 mg/kg, twice weekly) other one-half saline solution. Equal numbers from both groups sacrificed at two, four,...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> The appropriate timing of hip fracture surgery remains a matter debate. We sought to estimate the effect changes in policy and proportion deaths attributable surgical delay. <h3>METHODS:</h3> obtained discharge abstracts from Canadian Institute for Health Information Canada (excluding Quebec) between 2004 2012. estimated expected population-average risks inpatient death within 30 days if patients were surgically treated on day admission, 2, 3 or after 3. weighted...
To analyze radiographic changes in intertrochanteric (IT) fracture alignment after treatment with either a single sliding lag screw or an integrated compressed and locked, dual screw, cephalomedullary nail construct.Retrospective comparative study.Level 1 regional trauma center.1004 OTA/AO 31A, 31B2.1 fractures treated (Gamma 3) (InterTAN) between February 1, 2005, June 30, 2013. Four hundred thirteen remained exclusion criteria; 130 were device (79 stable 51 unstable), 283 (155 128...
To determine the return to active duty rate of military service members undergoing lower extremity limb salvage while using a novel custom orthosis and specialized rehabilitation compared with those receiving alone.Retrospective cohort study.Military level I trauma center tertiary referral for salvage.All enrolled in our institution's Return Run Clinical Pathway were analyzed retrospectively. Service if they sustained injuries residual disability below knee. Injuries typically involved...
To quantify the area of osseous exposure and identify six anatomic landmarks using a direct anterior approach to hip.Ten fresh-frozen hemipelves were dissected minimally invasive Smith-Petersen approach. Upon completion exposure, calibrated digital image was taken from surgeon's perspective. Identification (anterior-superior acetabulum, anterior-inferior greater trochanter, lesser inferior iliac spine, vastus ridge) attempted either by visualization or palpation with tonsil clamp. These...
Proximal radius exposure may be acquired by either the dorsal or volar approach depending on surgical requirements. The is traditionally recommended for fracture fixation of proximal because theoretically improved and aspect bone tensile surface. posterior interosseous nerve can visualized protected using this approach. preferred biceps repair boasts a distal extensile with adequate soft tissue coverage. Impingement bicipital tuberosity tendon, in addition to positioning compression side...
The purpose of this study was to compare the exposure posterior facet with extensile lateral (EL) approach compared sinus tarsi (ST) approach. We hypothesized that ST will provide a similar calcaneal facet. A total 8 sequential then EL approaches were performed on cadavers. Calcaneal landmarks identified by visualization or palpation. Calibrated digital photographs and body obtained from standardized positions used calculate exposed surface area. No significant difference found in average...
Recent research suggests that men and boys are increasingly experiencing body dissatisfaction may be at risk for developing other health problems resulting from exposure to idealized media images of the male body. On television, nowhere men’s bodies more prominently on display than in professional wrestling. Qualitative content analyses 118 episodes World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) programming, focusing commentaries wrestling performers’ bodies, revealed televised presents a “hyper-male”...
Purpose There is limited information in administrative databases on the occurrence of serious but treatable complications after hip fracture surgery. This study sought to determine feasibility identifying surgery from discharge abstracts by applying Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicator 4 (PSI-4) case-finding tool. Methods We obtained Canadian Institute Health Information patients 65 years or older, who were surgically treated non-pathological first...
American survivability during the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan continues to improve, though rate of extremity injury remains quite high. The decision proceed with amputation versus limb salvage controversial. Exposure combat wound severe high-energy lower trauma previous 14 years at war has incited important advances technique rehabilitation.
High-energy open fractures of the tibia have traditionally been fraught with challenges to include bone comminution or loss, soft tissue nonunion, and infection. A number techniques implemented treat severe loss typically involving anteromedial surface wet-to-dry dressings Papineau techniques, negative pressure wound therapy, acellular dermal matrices, rotational free transfer Masquelet technique, primary shortening, distraction osteogenesis address loss. We present a novel technique...
A single implant all-internal magnet-driven bone transport nail (BTN-NuVasive Specialized Orthopaedics Inc) has recently been introduced as a treatment method for segmental tibial defects. This innovation provides promise in the management of defects because it negates numerous complications associated with circular external fixation and need multiple implants when considering hybrid plate-assisted segment constructs. Given novelty BTN, description surgical application patient outcome...
The US Department of Homeland Security has reported increases in encounters and apprehensions at the Southwest border for past several years. purposes this study were to assess demographics, patterns injuries, surgical interventions, associated with falls from height along US-Mexico border.A prospective cohort was conducted a Level I trauma center January 2016 through December 2021 all patients who fell crossing presented injuries requiring admission.A total 448 admitted median age 30 years...
