Abstract Distal femur fractures are challenging injuries to manage, and complication rates remain high. This article summarizes the international basic science perspectives regarding distal femoral that were presented at 2022 Orthopaedic Trauma Association Annual Meeting. We review a number of critical concepts can be considered optimize treatment these difficult fractures. These include biomechanical considerations for fixation constructs, emerging treatments prevent post-traumatic...
Background: The optimal treatment for femoral shaft fractures in low-resource settings has yet to be established, part, because of a lack data supporting operative modalities. We aimed determine the reoperation rate among managed operatively and identify risk factors at hospital Sub-Saharan country. Methods: conducted prospective clinical study single tertiary care center Tanzania, enrolling all skeletally mature patients with diaphyseal from July 2012 2013. Patients were followed regular...
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...
Background: There are few validated instruments that serve as a proxy for fracture-healing after lower-extremity trauma in low-resource settings. The squat-and-smile test (S&S) has been under development by SIGN (Surgical Implant Generation Network) Fracture Care International to monitor outcomes of long-bone fractures intramedullary nailing resource-limited goals this study were develop and identify domains the S&S test. Methods: developed through an iterative process, consensus was...
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) experience a large volume of orthopaedic trauma, but limited research exists to evaluate effective treatments using locally available means. Academic partners can help design implement studies through collaborative efforts with local investigators. We will describe the study lessons learned from randomized controlled trial in Tanzania comparing outcomes 2 operative for open tibia fractures.The Institute Global Orthopaedics Traumatology at University...
Background: Despite evidence that formalized trauma systems enhance patient functional outcomes and decrease mortality rates, there remains a lack of such globally. Critical to are the equipment, materials, supplies needed support care, which vary in availability regionally. The purpose present study was identify essential resources for musculoskeletal care across diverse resource settings worldwide. Methods: modified Delphi method utilized, with 3 rounds electronic surveys. Respondents...
This pilot study builds on previous research applying the ‘active ingredients’ model to coaching psychology and seeking identify client traits that may predict efficacy. It examines relationship between four ‘core self-evaluation’ (self-esteem, generalised self-efficacy, locus of control neuroticism) attainment contracted goals. Data were collected from 45 participants a co-coaching programme based in UK university. A multiple regression analysis was conducted test hypothesis there will be...
Schools in England and Wales are required to teach a comprehensive drugs education programme key stages 1 through 4. A number of information sources available teachers covering the features effective drug, alcohol tobacco education. notable absence is concept ‘craving’. For many craving central drug use behaviour will inevitably form part discussions concerning abuse. This article considers what is, its importance suggests that exclusion specific reference term ‘craving’ perhaps sensible...
Objective: With a strengthening of the evidence base for coaching as an effective developmental intervention, greater understanding is needed regarding factors that may contribute to this effectiveness. This study sought determine effect client ‘core self-evaluations’ (CSEs) have on attainment contracted goals. It alsoadopted revised approach Spence’s (2007) goal scaling (GAS) procedure . Design: A quasi-experimental design was employed. 135 participants were recruited from undergraduate...
