Background: Cavovarus foot deformity is common in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Multiple surgical reconstructive procedures have been described, but few authors reported long-term results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results an algorithmic approach reconstruction for treatment a cavovarus these patients. Methods: We evaluated twenty-five consecutive disease and (forty-one feet) who had undergone, between 1970 1994, consisting dorsiflexion osteotomy first...
Implant arthroplasty of the wrist offers pain relief with preservation motion to patients rheumatoid arthritis, although few studies have investigated long-term results this procedure. The purpose present study is report prospective total use Universal prosthesis in a consecutive series arthritis who were managed by single surgeon.Twenty-four arthroplasties twenty followed prospectively. Nineteen wrists fifteen clinically and radiographically for mean 7.3 years (range, 5.0 10.8 years) after...
<h3>Importance</h3> Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are common injuries among older adults and can result in substantial disability. Current evidence regarding long-term outcomes is scarce. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare across treatment groups at 24 months with DRFs who participated the WRIST trial. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The Wrist Radius Injury Surgical Trial (WRIST) randomized, international, multicenter trial was conducted from April 1, 2012, through December 31, 2016....
Fractures of the distal radius are among most common fractures in adults. Recently, there has been a trend towards open reduction and internal fixation these through volar approach. The purpose this study was to assess early complications locking plate with an emphasis on defining relationship between surgeon experience incidence complications.Following IRB approval, we conducted retrospective chart review initial 96 (92 patients) treated by fracture using locked plate. Our outcome...
Mobile phone messaging software robots allow clinicians and healthcare systems to communicate with patients without the need for human intervention. The purpose of this study was (1) describe a method communicating postoperatively outside traditional setting by utilizing an automated mobile platform (2) evaluate first week postoperative pain opioid use after common ambulatory hand surgery procedures.The investigation prospective, multicenter patient-reported usage surgery. Inclusion criteria...
Purpose: The purpose of our study was to investigate carpal tunnel release (CTR) performed in the clinic versus ambulatory surgery center (ASC) evaluate for potential cost savings. Methods: Patients who underwent either CTR under a local anesthetic or ASC with sedation and were prospectively enrolled registry between 2014 2016. All patients completed Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scale procedural postprocedure pain. Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) utilized quantify both ASC....
Background: No consensus exists about whether a volar approach (VA) or dorsal (DA) for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) arthroplasty yields better results. Previously reported range of motion (ROM) and complications vary from study to study. This retrospective review compared the ROM complication rates VA DA approaches PIP arthroplasty. Methods: The included 66 adults (88 digits) who underwent 2000 2015, with minimum 30-day follow-up. Demographic data, surgical approach, pre- post-operative...
By means of a surgical expedition involving an independently financed team surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, orthodontists and speech therapists, 195 patients in Sri Lanka with cleft lip palate were treated over period 4 weeks while 300 examined detail to assess faciomaxillary growth, components the psychosocial impact untreated deformity childhood adult life. Lip surgery proved be simple safe but certain older palatal closure was complicated by wide shelf displacement, mucosal fibrosis heavy...
It is estimated that only 17% of patients survive an in-hospital cardiac arrest. Medical evidence indicates many show signs deterioration during the 24 h period prior to their arrest.At Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust (SRFT) 135 (outside critical care areas) suffered a arrest between March 2007 and April 2008.Quality improvement method-The breakthrough series (BTS) collaborative approach, change package-reliable manual vital signs, nurse-led response deteriorating patient, code red,...
This study examines how many patients with distal radius fracture (DRF) eligible for bone health evaluation could potentially be screened using mineral density (BMD) estimation by L1 vertebra computed tomography (CT) attenuation obtained other purposes.For all adult DRF who presented over a 5-year period, we recorded the age, sex, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results up to 3 years prior injury or 1 year post-injury, and CT on any including that had been performed within 6 months of...
Background: Trigger finger release (TFR) is one of the most commonly performed hand procedures and typically results in restoration normal function. However, uncommon postoperative complications such as deep infection can have devastating consequences. The goal this study was to evaluate incidence, risk factors, characteristics infectious flexor tenosynovitis occurring after TFR. Methods: We searched billing records for Current Procedural Terminology code TFR identify all adult patients who...
Background Radiocarpal fracture dislocations cause significant intraarticular disruption and instability difficult to treat with traditional plating methods. Description of Technique Suture anchor fixation the volar radiocarpal ligaments through an extended carpal tunnel approach, supplemented radial styloid fixation, restores stability joint. Patients Methods We performed a retrospective review 14 consecutive fracture-dislocations (RCFDs) treated at two-level one trauma center from 2011...
