Posttraumatic bone defects (BDs) remain a difficult complication for orthopaedic surgeons. Surgical goals in these reconstructive cases are to create stable limb fixation, maintain length, and provide adequate soft-tissue coverage. Historically, surgical approaches have required the use of an external fixator, which is associated with several postoperative complications. A plate-assisted segment transport (PABST) technique using magnetic lengthening system eliminates need fixator effective...
Abstract Patellar fractures are potentially debilitating injuries due to loss of extensor mechanism function, resulting in an inability extend the leg. Traditionally, these have been surgically managed with open reduction and internal fixation using a tension band construct. This can be performed K-wires or cannulated screws suture cable as band. Plate osteosynthesis is another option that increasing popularity. Incorporating construct converts tensile force into healing-compatible...
Problem: The traditional clerkship model of brief encounters between faculty and students results in reduced meaningful learning opportunities due to the lack a relationship that enables repeated observation, supervisor feedback, trust formation, growth. Intervention: Clinical clerkships at our institution were restructured decrease fragmentation supervision foster an educational alliance student. A mixed-methods approach was used study impact this curriculum reform on student experience...
In the setting of anterior shoulder instability, it is important to assess reliability orthopaedic surgeons diagnose pathologic characteristics on 2 most common imaging modalities used in clinical practice: standard plain radiographs and magnetic resonance (MRI).To intra- interrater diagnosing associated with instability using MRI.Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 3.Patient charts at a single academic institution were reviewed for injuries. The included 40 sets images (20 radiograph...

Summary Background Using examination scores for grading clerkship threatens students’ engagement at a time when clinical immersion is critical socialising into medicine. Narratives of student performance, composed during training by multiple preceptors across diverse settings, may be used to judge competence instead. Preceptor commentary not trusted as basis grading, but the alignment between performance narratives and has yet been investigated. Methods Performance data were gathered...
Introduction: ASPIRE Excellence Awards in Student Assessment are offered to medical schools with innovative and comprehensive assessment programmes adjudged by international experts, using evidence-based criteria. The journeys of three ASPIRE-winning toward "assessment excellence" presented. These include Aga Khan University Medical College (AKU-MC), Pakistan, Southern Illinois School Medicine (SIUSOM), USA, Leeds Medicine, UK. Methods: unfolding highlighting achievements, innovations,...
Introduction: The objective of this study is to comprehensively evaluate fracture type, category nonunion, and metabolic profile identify causes that may impact union. Methods: A retrospective chart review patients diagnosed with nonunion after fixation was performed. Patient demographics, characteristics, profiles were assessed. Results: Data collected from 94 a mean age 54.7 years, 50% men, 47.3% obese, 60.8% current/former smokers. most common nonunited bone the femur (48%), tibia (22%),...
Different biomechanical designs are incorporated into various total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants. The posterior-stabilized prosthesis design utilizes a polyethylene post and femoral cam in place of the posterior cruciate ligament. This produces more stable component interface, increased range motion, potentially less technical procedure. study aimed to assess short-term (>2 year) outcomes associated with Vega System (Aesculap Implant Systems, Center Valley, Pennsylvania) based on...
There is no definitive objective measure for diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), and functional capacity testing on standardized rehabilitation exercises before after an anterior scalene muscle block (ASMB) has the potential to serve as a predictor response surgery improve diagnostic accuracy in these cases.
