Filter by:The aim of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of PENG block as the main anesthetic technique to manage perioperative analgesia for hip fracture surgery compared to femoral and obturator nerve block in patients with contraindications to spinal anesthesia.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of external chest wall fixator on patients' pain level, complication development and hospital stay in patients with rib fractures.Patients who were admitted due to trauma and had serial rib fractures were evaluated. Standard treatment was applied to the control group. External chest wall fixator was applied to the case group in standard treatment. Pain levels of the patients, development of complications and duration of hospitalization were recorded.
Distal tibial fracture management is difficult because of poor blood supply resulted from subcutaneous location. Therefore, the study aims to compare expert intramedullary nail (IMN) with poller screws to the distal tibial locked plate regarding operative and complications outcomes
Femur's neck injuries are frequently encountered fractures. They are usually due to high energy or low energy indirect trauma. Healing of these fractures is usually hindered due to "avascular necrosis (AVN)" or "non-union" of the Femur's head. This study looks forward to investigating the impact of capsulotomy and internal fixation in lowering the incidence of complications and improving the functional outcomes.
We performed a randomized control trial including 84 children aged two to six years who presented with femoral fractures. They were randomized into two groups; the first was managed by single limb cast fixation (42 patients), and the second was managed by double limb cast fixation (42 patients). The primary outcomes were postprocedural functional outcomes and parents' satisfaction, while the secondary outcomes were the rates of complications.
In the light of current literature data, it is not recommended to discontinue Denosumab therapy without initiating another antiresorptive therapy. It is known that there is a rebound increase in bone resorption markers and a rapid decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) when patients using Denosumab remain untreated for 1 year. The coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented disruption in the management of osteoporosis, as in many chronic diseases. This study aims to determine whether the risk of rebound-associated osteoporotic fracture development is increased in patients who discontinued Denosumab therapy due to any reason but especially due to hesitancy to come to hospitals or lack of access to treatment institutions during the pandemic period as well as to evaluate the factors affecting treatment compliance.
Background: Historically, acetabular fractures were treated conservatively which leading to long lasting morbidity like severe pain, limitation of movement and osteoarthritis. Now, evidence suggest surgery for all acetabular fractures for better outcome. Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation of posterior wall of acetabulum fractures. Methods: This prospective clinical trial was conducted at Chittagong Medical College hospital, Chattogram, from January 2022 to February 2024. Sample size was 32 with fractures as per set criteria and was treated surgically. The outcome variables were functional (according to modified Merle D'Aubigne and Postel score) and radiological (according to Matta's grading). Evaluation was done at 6th weeks and at 03rd, 06th, 09th months. Detailed history, clinical examination, investigations, operative details, post-operative outcome and other parameters were documented. Data were collected in data collection form and were analyzed at the end of the study by using SPSS-25. P-value was considered as statistically significant when it was less than 0.05 and confidence interval was set at 95% level.
Ankle fractures are common injuries and cryotherapy is routinely used to reduce pain, swelling and local skin complications, both before and after surgery. However, the results on ankle surgery are contradictory. Despite the benefits of cryotherapy in the pre- and postoperative care of ankle surgery, lack of standardized protocols and few level-1 studies make difficult to appreciate the effectiveness. In addition, there's scarce evidence on the benefits from the preoperative use of cryotherapy. The aim of this study is to report the results with the use of third generation cryotherapy in the preoperative treatment of ankle fractures. Third generation devices use computed cryotherapy to deliver gradual changes in pressure and temperature. The software produces a progressive drop in temperature and a controlled slow return to room temperature environment, avoiding reactive vasodilation. Time to surgery, pain, opioids intake, and local skin complications have been investigated. Methods 169 patients with ankle fracture were randomized in two groups, the cryotherapy group (89 patients) and the control group (C: 80 patients). The time-to- surgery, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the analgesic drug demand (including morphine or acetaminophen) were recorded. The development of skin complications was assessed daily. BMI and number of cigarettes smoked were also recorded.
Clavicle fractures are common among young people, generally as a consequence of car accidents, bike falls, and contact sports injuries. 15-20% of all clavicle fractures involve the lateral end of the bone. Thus, the distal clavicle fractures, in particular, have a high nonunion rate ranging from 21-33% when treated non-operatively, underscoring the usual advice for operative treatment. While significant research has been conducted on clavicle fractures and their treatment options, no definitive guidelines or optimal approaches have been established. Hence, this study aimed at assessing the clinical and radiological results of the two highly used surgical techniques, the Tension Band Wiring (TBW) and Hook plate ones, in addition to investigating the associated functional recovery and outcomes.
Some related factors of pelvic fracture and Morel-Lavallee injury (MLL) are preliminarily discussed, which provides some preliminary references for early clinical detection and research of such injuries.
