Abstract Background Trauma is now one of the fastest growing epidemics globally but low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are more severely affected in terms cost, disability death. The high-energy trauma road traffic accidents violence often produces open fractures which can be difficult to manage resource-poor settings. Adequate stabilization, such as provided by locked nails, has been found ensure better outcome for fractures. There dearth published studies on use intramedullary nail...
Wage earning in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is predominantly through physical labour. Consequently, limb-related disabilities caused by abnormal fracture unions (AFUs) preclude gainful employment perpetuate the cycle of poverty. Many AFUs result from traditional bone-setting (TBS), a pervasive treatment for long bone fractures LMICs. The objective this study was to accentuate expediency solid locked intramedullary nail early restoration victims TBS-induced their pre-injury...
Abstract Background While the majority of traumatic injuries occur in low- and middle-income countries, published literature comes chiefly from high-income countries due to poor follow-up. Clinical radiographic post-surgical trauma follow-up is essential high-quality research objective monitoring for healing and/or complications. This study aimed identify predictors non-attendance a low-resource setting investigate extent which interventional efforts based on mobile phone technology (MPT)...
Abstract. Introduction: Infection is the chief complication that makes open fractures difficult to treat. Most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are missing out on modern management techniques developed achieve better outcomes in high-income (HICs). One of these use locked intramedullary (IM) nails. This study aimed determine factors associated with infection treated surgical implant generation network (SIGN) nail at a Nigerian tertiary hospital. Methods: Data were collected...
