Grip strength measurement, as a surrogate of sarcopenia diagnosis, effectively predicts secondary fracture risk in distal radius patients. This simple tool enhances clinical practice by identifying high-risk patients for targeted interventions, potentially preventing or reversing functional decline and recurrent fractures. To evaluate grip hand muscle cross-sectional area predictors with history (DRF), serving surrogates the diagnosis sarcopenia. A retrospective cohort study 745 DRF was...
Background The analgesic effect of adding liposomal bupivacaine to standard in supraclavicular brachial plexus block is not known. authors hypothesized that addition would reduce acute postoperative pain compared alone. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients and outcome assessors were blinded. Eighty patients undergoing distal radial fracture fixation during regional anesthesia with into two groups. group received 10 ml 0.5% plain immediately followed by 1.33% (n =...
Abstract Purpose Glenoid component loosening is a potential complication of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), occurring in part due to lack adequate screw purchase quality scapular bone stock. This study was determine the efficacy surgeon-designed, 3D-printed patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) compared conventional (CI) achieving longer superior and inferior lengths for glenoid fixation. Methods A multi-centre retrospective analysis patients who underwent rTSA between 2015...
Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are associated with delayed union and higher reoperation rates. Axial dynamization of intramedullary nails is hypothesized to reduce time-to-union (TTU) fixation failure as compared static locking.Consecutive acutely displaced AFFs fixed long across five centres between 2006 2021 a minimum postoperative follow-up three months were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was TTU, treated dynamically or statically locked nails. Fracture defined modified...
Atypical triplane fractures are defined as that intra-articular but affect the non-weight-bearing area of tibia plafond or extra-articular where epiphyseal fracture line exits outside articulating cortex medial malleolus. These scarcely reported in literature. Here, we study pattern, mechanisms, and recommendations for management.This is a retrospective all identified from 2012 to 2016 tertiary referral center. There were 10 atypical patterns this cohort. All patients followed up with an...
Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a growing problem in an aging population. Unicompartmental arthroplasties (UKA) have been used for management isolated OA medial tibiofemoral joint. This first study on usage UKA Hong Kong. Methods: Retrospective analysis all patients undergoing compartment tertiary referral center since 2003. Preoperative and postoperative International Knee Society Scores (KSKS) Societal Functional Assessment (KSFA) scores, range motion, flexion deformity,...
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to determine the best plate use as a substitute fix medial femoral condyle fracture. Materials and methods first part measure fit between several anatomical plates including Proximal Tibia Anterolateral Plate (PT AL LCP), Medial M Distal Locking (DT LCP) Humerus (PHILOS) against 28 freshly embalmed cadaveric distal femurs. Measurements such offset number screws in shaft shall be obtained. subsequent compressive force at which fails. After creating...
<title>Abstract</title> Interscalene brachial plexus nerve blocks (ISB) are commonly used to reduce postoperative pain for proximal humerus fracture fixation. Good control minimizes opioid consumption, facilitates mobilization and enhances functional recovery. While ISB continuous block infusion can prolong analgesia, it is technically demanding associated with problems such as catheter displacement obstruction. Liposomal bupivacaine allows prolonged duration of analgesia up 72 hours after...
Aim To determine mortality and outcomes of patients diagnosed with fracture-related infections (FRIs). Method FRI treated at a trauma centre between 2001 2020 were analysed. The primary outcome was 1-year mortality; associations organism, depth involvement, temporality investigated multivariable survival analysis. Healthcare-associated serological reported as secondary outcomes. Results 311 FRIs mean age 67.0 median Charlson comorbidity index 0 Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus...
