Fracture-classification systems are used to recommend treatment and predict outcomes. In this study, a modified Gartland classification system of supracondylar humerus fractures in children was assessed for intraobserver interobserver variability. Five observers classified radiographs 50 consecutive with extension on three separate occasions. After 2-week interval, 90% were the same both readings, kappa value 0.84. 36-week 89% same, 0.81. Interobserver reliability evaluated by pairwise...

Objective To determine whether the procedure of unreamed femoral nailing is simpler, faster, and safer than reamed intramedullary nailing. Design Prospective randomized. Setting/Participants One hundred shaft fractures without significant concomitant injuries admitted to an academic Level 1 urban trauma center. Intervention Stabilization fracture using a or technique. Outcome Measurements The surgical time, estimated blood loss, fluoroscopy perioperative complications were prospectively...
We reviewed 24 children (42 extremities) who had a diagnosis of early infantile tibia vara treated by using brace. The indication for bracing was either varus deformity that not improving age 18-24 months, or persistent seen in patient older than months. prescribed an above-the-knee brace with free ankle, single medial upright valgus-producing straps, and no hinged joint locked hinge at the knee. braces were worn during day removed bedtime. patients followed up average 27.2 months (range,...

Background: Intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) is a useful anesthetic method for closed reduction of fractures. However, IVRA has been associated with an increased incidence compartment syndrome when treating tibial shaft The purpose this study was to measure changes in anterior leg pressures during simulated IVRA. Methods: A volunteer performed. An indwelling catheter placed consistent location between subjects used tissue pressure. vinyl splint exsanguination followed by thigh...
The differential diagnosis of abdominal pain is wide as both benign and malignant pathologies must be considered. There are currently no published case reports low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) mimicking perforated diverticulitis. LAMNs a heterogenous group tumours, with consensus treatment algorithm based on stage histology. In this report, we discuss patient who presented emergently generalized peritonism, diverticulitis made computed tomography scan. At laparotomy, appendix...
Hiatus hernia is defined as a trans-diaphragmatic protrusion of the intra-abdominal contents through oesophageal hiatus into mediastinum. Surgical repair indicated in symptomatic patients, with some patients presenting emergently strangulation and ischaemia hernial contents. In this situation, emergent decompression surgical indicated. Although it has been suggested previously that kyphoscoliosis may contribute to development progression hernia, there are no published reports obstruction...
Abstract Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is commonly caused by intra-abdominal adhesions, usually from prior surgery. Conservative management the mainstay of treatment, with adhesiolysis required for non-resolving obstruction. An unusual patient presentation ASBO presented here, where cause proposed as an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) within abdomen. Although had several presentations successfully treated conservative management, a surgical management. At...
Objective: To analyse paediatric appendicectomy at a regional referral hospital to ascertain whether more remote residence is associated with increased negative rate (NAR) or complicated appendicitis.Methods: Retrospective analysis of electronic medical records.Design: case series.Setting:
