Aims The UK government declared a national lockdown on 23 March 2020 to reduce transmission of COVID-19. This study aims identify the effect rates, types, mechanisms, and mortality musculoskeletal trauma across Scotland. Methods Data for all requiring operative treatment were collected prospectively from five key orthopaedic units Scotland during (23 28 May 2020). was compared with data same timeframe in 2019 2018. included cases surgery, injury type, mechanism injury, inpatient mortality....
INTRODUCTION Debate has persisted for many years about whether to sacrifice or replace the posterior cruciate ligament when performing total knee arthroplasty. A paucity of long-term follow-up studies comparing outcomes between cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilised knees exist. We aimed compare results at ten-year follow-up. METHODS matched paired study a cohort 107 Zimmer Nexgen® Cruciate Retaining (CR) patients with Nexgen Posterior-Stabilised (PS) age, sex, body mass index...
Background and purpose - About 86,000 total hip replacements (THR) have been registered in patients under 55 years the National Joint Registry of England Wales (NJR). The use uncemented implants has increased, despite their outcomes not having proven to be significantly better than cemented this registry. We determined implant survivorship functional THR at a minimum follow-up 22 years. Patients methods 104 hips 100 were included prospective study. Functional outcome was assessed using...
Tension band wiring of simple transverse olecranon fractures results in a high reoperation rate due to hardware problems. A technique using high-strength braided polyester and polyethylene suture through bone tunnel has been piloted. This is suitable for or osteotomy with stability the ulnohumeral articulation. drill hole was made ulna 2.5-mm drill. Fracture fixation achieved 2 synthetic sutures passed grasping insertion triceps tendon. The outcome measures used were Oxford Elbow score...
The early mortality in patients with hip fractures from bony metastases is unknown. objectives of this study were to quantify 30- and 90-day proximal femoral metastases, create a prediction tool based on biomarkers associated death.This was retrospective cohort consecutive referred the orthopaedic department at UK trauma centre metastasis (PFM) over seven-year period (2010 2016). group compared matched control non-metastatic fractures. Minimum follow-up one year.There 46% metastatic versus...
A four-year-old child attended Accident and Emergency following a fall from slide with displaced angulated proximal tibial metaphyseal fracture. Treatment included closed manipulation under anaesthesia an above knee cast for seven weeks. Serial radiographs over the few months were satisfactory demonstrating good alignment evidence of healing. However, at four-months review new-onset genu valgum mechanical axis deviation was noted. No spontaneous resolution noted 12 hence corrective...
Objectives Identify the proportion of patients attending fracture clinics who had suffered intimate partner violence (IPV) within past year. Design Powered cross-sectional study using validated participant self-reported questionnaires. Setting and participants Adult trauma (no gender/age exclusions) one three Scottish adult over 16-month period (from October 2016 to January 2018). Primary outcome measure Number answering ‘yes’ Woman Abuse Screening Tool question: ‘In your current...
A thorough knowledge of the anatomy terminal branch posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) and its relationship to anterior (AIN) is essential in facilitating regional anesthetic blocks planning surgical exposures for wrist surgery arthrodesis proximal row carpectomy. This cadaveric study focused on course PIN anatomical relationships at distal forearm. Thirty embalmed cadaver forearms were dissected using microsurgical techniques. structured pro forma was used collect data. The consistently...
Introduction . The key to a successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the restoration of mechanical axis with balanced flexion and extension gaps. Patient-specific cutting block technique has been latest development in arthroplasty. This uses magnetic resonance image (MRI) patient's symptomatic create bone models jigs. study was designed evaluate intraoperative accuracy patient-specific as compared preoperative template. Methods Visionaire (Smith Nephew, Genesis 2 Knee Arthroplasty) TKA...
Kryptonite™ Bone Cement, an adhesive bone cement has been proposed as alternative means of fracture fixation. This study aimed to test Cement a fixation method. Initially, four pig femurs, Thiel-embalmed human humerii and one dry were tested failure with three point bending protocol. specimens reconstructed re-fractured. Rigidity, strength work for pre-fracture Cementfixated compared. Subsequently, sixteen butterfly fragment loaded at 100N compression 50N tensile force 500 cycles. was...
Aim: To assess the value of directing attention patients to sources medical information on internet. Design: Prospective qualitative study in an orthopaedic outpatient clinic. Participants: 253 agreed complete electronic questionnaires before and after reviewing relevant their conditions Patients were allocated randomly into two groups; one group was given indications general sites other recommended specific non-commercial sites. Completed received from 44 patients. Results: 95% found...
The Polhemus Fastrak® short-range miniature transmitter and mini-receivers allow wrist motion to be measured continually in three dimensions, registering patterns of motion, which until now were difficult quantify. current study aimed determine the applicability repeatability system when assessing movements during a set protocol activities. device was found easy use repeatable; showed mean error up 3° all tested. Its assessment range correlated with results literature. Fastrakv® suitable for...
