Background: Hip fractures occur in 280,000 North Americans each year. Although surgeons have reached consensus with regard to the treatment of undisplaced hip, surgical displaced remains controversial. Identifying surgeons' preferences techniques, and rationale for their choices, may aid focusing educational activities orthopaedic community as well planning future clinical trials. Our objective was clarify current opinion operative femoral neck. Methods: We used a cross-sectional survey...
Background Accurate prediction of likelihood reoperation in patients with tibial shaft fractures would facilitate optimal management. Previous studies were limited by small sample sizes and noncomprehensive examination possible risk factors. Objective We conducted an observational study to determine which prognostic factors associated increased following operative treatment a heterogeneous population fractures. Design Retrospective study. Setting Level 1 trauma center. Methods identified 200...
We have studied the effect of shortening femoral neck and varus collapse on functional capacity quality life patients who had undergone fixation an isolated intracapsular fracture hip with cancellous screws. After screening 660 at four university medical centres, 70 a mean age 71 years (20 to 90) met inclusion criteria. Overall, 66% (46 70) fractures healed > 5 mm 39% (27 5° varus. Patients severe significantly lower short form-36 questionnaire (SF-36) physical functioning scores (no/mild...
Metatarsal fractures are common injuries; however little has been written regarding their epidemiology in an adult population.All patients with metatarsal during a 1-year time period were included the study. Demographic information, grade, and mechanism of injury, associated injuries, fracture location type recorded.Three hundred fifty-five 411 identified. The average age was 42 years. There higher proportion women groups, most that fifth metatarsal. Multiple occurred contiguous metatarsals,...
Shortening of the femoral neck after fracture fixation with multiple parallel screws decreases moment arm for abductor muscles hip. This study aimed to assess incidence shortening quantitatively and qualitatively in patients fractures treated cannulated screws, investigate its influence on functional outcome.We conducted an observational a consecutive series 56 united cancellous screws. The latest anterior-posterior radiograph fractured hip was compared that contralateral uninjured After...
Abstract Background Tibial shaft fractures are the most common long bone fracture and prone to complications such as nonunion requiring reoperations promote healing. We aimed determine characteristics associated with tibial nonunion, their predictive value on need for reoperation. further evaluate of a previously-developed prognostic index three reoperation rate. Methods conducted an observational study developed risk factor list from previous literature key informants in field orthopaedic...
The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery established the Three Delays framework, categorising delays in accessing timely surgical care into seeking (First Delay), reaching (Second and receiving (Third Delay). Globally, knowledge gaps regarding for fracture care, lack of large prospective studies informed rationale our international observational study. We investigated hospital admission as a surrogate explored factors associated with delayed admission.
The purpose of this study was to determine the functional outcomes and predictive factors radial head neck fractures.Over an 18-month period, we performed a prospective 237 consecutive patients with radiographically confirmed proximal fracture (156 81 neck). Follow-up carried out over 1-year period using clinical radiologic assessment, including Mayo Elbow Score (MES). Multivariate regression analysis used significant predictors outcome according MES.Of enrolled in study, 201 (84.8%)...
Despite the prominence of hip fractures in orthopedic trauma, assessment fracture healing using radiographs remains subjective. The variability has important implications for both clinical research and patient care. With little existing literature regarding reliable consensus on healing, this study was conducted to determine inter-rater reliability between surgeons radiologists assessments sequential patients with fractures. Secondary objectives included evaluating a checklist designed...
High loss-to-follow-up rates are a risk in even the most rigorously designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Consequently, predicting and preventing loss to follow-up important methodological considerations. We hypothesized that certain baseline characteristics associated with greater likelihood of patients being lost follow-up. Our primary objective was determine which within 12 months after an open fracture adult participating Fluid Lavage Open Wounds (FLOW) trial. also present...

Neural correlates of mind wandering The ability to detect as it occurs is an important step towards improving our understanding this phenomenon and studying its effects on learning performance. Current detection methods typically rely observable behaviour in laboratory settings, which do not capture the underlying neural processes may translate well into real-world settings. We address both these issues by recording electroencephalography (EEG) simultaneously from 15 participants during live...
Abstract Background Although surgeons acknowledge the importance of irrigating open fracture wounds, choice fluid and delivery pressure remains controversial. Our objective was to clarify current opinion with regard irrigation wounds. Methods We used a cross-sectional survey sample-to-redundancy strategy examine surgeons' preferences in initial management mailed this members Canadian Orthopaedic Association delivered it attendees an international course (AO, Davos, Switzerland). Results Of...
This study was conducted to determine interrater and intrarater reliabilities on the healing assessment of femoral neck fractures between orthopedic surgeons radiologists test performance a checklist system for hip fracture healing.We developed used scoring [radiographic union score in (RUSH) score] validity quantifying healing. A panel 6 reviewers (3 3 radiologists) independently assessed with RUSH using radiographs 150 at various stages 2 occasions 4 weeks apart.Using subjective...
Background: Identifying optimal treatment strategies in patients with traumatic foot and ankle injuries has been hampered by the use of multiple available outcome measures unproven reliability validity. This prospective observational study aimed to measure correlation between six functional injuries. Materials Methods: Patients 18 years age or older a injury completed Short Form-12 (SF-12), Musculoskeletal Functional Assessment (SMFA), Foot Function Index (FFI), Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM),...
Conventional meta-analyses quantify the relative effectiveness of two interventions based on direct (that is, head-to-head) evidence typically derived from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). For many medical conditions, however, multiple treatment options exist and not all have been compared directly. This issue limits utility traditional synthetic techniques such as meta-analyses, since these approaches can only pool compare across that directly by source studies. Network (NMA) use...
