Introduction Low- and middle-income countries experience high injury-related mortality rates, with road traffic crashes being a significant contributor in Nigeria. Data from trauma registries are crucial for designing advocating intervention programmes. However, there is limited research to inform the development of Nigerian setting. The aim this study was design feasible prototype registry (TR) including, scope activities components University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Methods...

Long-term Mechanical Low-Back Pain (LMLBP) negatively impacts on patients' physical capacity and quality of life. This study investigated the relationship between Health-Related Quality Life (HRQoL) pain intensity, influence static dynamic back extensors' endurance exercises HRQoL in Nigerian patients with LMLBP treated McKenzie Protocol (MP).

Study Design. A translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric analysis. Objective. The aim of this study was to translate, cross-culturally adapt, validate the Yoruba version RMDQ. Summary Background Data. Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) is a valid outcome tool for low back pain (LBP) in clinical research settings. There seems be no reliable RMDQ Nigerian languages. Methods. Following Guillemin criteria, English forward translated. Two translated versions were...

Introduction: Long-term Mechanical Low-Back Pain (LMLBP) negatively impacts on patients' physical capacity and quality of life. This study investigated the relationship between Health-Related Quality Life (HRQoL) pain intensity, influence static dynamic back extensors' endurance exercises HRQoL in Nigerian patients with LMLBP treated McKenzie Protocol (MP).

As the field of surgery continues to evolve, subspecialty training is fast becoming integral surgical education. Presently, orthopaedic residents have opportunities subspecialise in different areas.

This study investigated the effect of static or dynamic back extensors endurance exercise in combination with McKenzie Protocol (MP) patients Long-term Mechanical Low-Back Pain (LMLBP). randomized controlled trial involved 84 patients, who were assigned into MP Group (MPG), plus Static Back Extensors Endurance (SBEE) Exercise (MPSBEEG), Dynamic Extensors’ (DBEE) (MPDBEEG). Twenty-five, 22, and 20 participants MPG, MPSBEEG, MPDBEEG, respectively, completed thrice weekly eight-week (drop-out...

Introduction Low-Back Pain (LBP) is a common public health problem that often worsened by maladaptive beliefs and disability. Thus, necessitating the need for availability of outcome measures to assess these sequelae among patients with chronic LBP. This study aimed cross-culturally adapt determine psychometric properties Yoruba version ODI (ODI-Y). Methods The ODI-Y was adapted following process involving forward translation, synthesis, backward expert review, pilot testing. Internal...

Background: Ankle fractures are fairly common worldwide but there is scanty literature on the man-agement of these from sub-Saharan Africa. This study provides a broad picture prac-tices orthopaedic surgeons in Nigeria managing ankle fractures. Consequently, practices can be updated, areas for further research highlighted and subsequently, guidelines developed con-cerning contextual management Nigeria.Methods: survey was carried out using online hard copy questionnaires, distributed at an...

<h3>Introduction</h3> Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) account for over 90% of worldwide injury-related mortality. Several high-income have used data from trauma registries (TR) to make decisions that improve injury care delivery, prevention initiatives, policymaking. However, previous efforts establish TRs in LMICs wrestled with sustainability issues; hence, developing involves considerable planning preparation. <h3>Aim</h3> This study aimed design the framework a prototype registry...

Orthopaedic surgery is a specialty that deals with lot of complex and delicate procedures which involve the use power tools as well handling sharp bony spicules, which, among other things, expose trainees to day-to-day hazards can predispose them an array health challenges burden sector. Knowledge different measures in minimizing some these risks go long way saving lives resources.This study aims determine level awareness orthopaedic surgical residents about various ascertain their views on...

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted surgical training and education of medical students in various institutions. South-eastern Nigeria situation was evaluated with respect to training, a view identify gaps proffer solutions.To determine the impact covid-19 on undergraduate students, their experiences alternatives being implemented continue education.Design: Cross-sectional survey amongst 181 final year conducted.A structured questionnaire designed using free software Google® Forms...

Abstract Introduction Low Back Pain is a common public health problem worsened by maladaptive beliefs and incongruent back pain behaviour. It imperative to develop outcome measures assess these among patients with chronic LBP. This study aimed cross-culturally adapt determine the psychometric properties of Yoruba version ODI (ODI-Y). Methods The ODI-Y was adapted following process involving forward translation, synthesis, backward expert review, pilot testing. One hundred thirty-six LBP took...

Having a universal tool for assessing pain in children is hamstrung by cultural sensitivity. This study aimed to develop and validate culturally-friendly assessment (i.e. Crying Faces Pain Scale (CFPS)) among Nigerian Children. employed criterion-standard design. The was three phases, namely: (1) development of CFPS, (2) cross-validity (3) validation the CFPS. 70 (39 (55.7%) males 31 (44.3%) females) within age range 4-13 years who had post-surgical pain, orthopaedic stomach or headache were...
