Forty-five healt... |
1 | Comparative assessment of early versus delayed surgery to treat proximal femoral fractures in elderly patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | BACKGROUND: Recently, many studies have suggested that timely surgery to treat proximal femoral fractures can benefit patients in many respects. However, both the short- and long-term outcomes, and the perioperative complications, of early surgery remain controversial. In addition, the optimal cut-off time for early su... |
0 | Superiority of age and weight as variables in predicting osteoporosis in postmenopausal white women | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Identification of women at risk for osteoporosis is of great importance for the prevention of osteoporotic fractures. Routine BMD measurement of all women is not feasible for most populations, hence identification of a high-risk subset of women is an important element of effective preventive strategies. METHODS: We ide... |
0 | Ultrasound diagnosis of juvenile forearm fractures | Distal Radius Fractures | PURPOSE: Metaphyseal forearm fractures are a common pathology in any emergency department. The standard diagnostic procedure is an X-ray of the forearm and wrist. Former studies have shown that these fractures can be visualized by ultrasound. The intention of this study was to evaluate the safety and reliability of the... |
0 | Above-knee amputations in psychiatric inpatients | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Data on 121 primary above-knee amputations and 12 stump revisions performed on a population of nonambulatory elderly psychiatric inpatients showed that the overall morbidity and mortality rates compared favorably with those in previously published reports on other groups of patients who received the same type of amputa... |
0 | Minimally invasive surgery of distal radius fractures: a series of 20 cases using a 15mm anterior approach and arthroscopy | Distal Radius Fractures | UNLABELLED: This study reports the results of minimally invasive surgical treatment of distal radius fractures using a 15mm incision with arthroscopic assistance. This was a retrospective series of 20 distal radius fractures in young or middle-aged patients caused by high-energy trauma and/or with articular involvement... |
1 | (untitled) | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | The purpose of this report is to retrieve and review the existing clinical effectiveness evidence on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients with exercise as compared to no intervention, placebo, or opioids. |
0 | Expression of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 in otorhinolaryngologic neoplasms | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | INTRODUCTION: C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) has recently been characterised as a novel receptor for the C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12)/stromal cell-derived factor 1-alpha. CXCR7 has been thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis, angiogenesis and tumour metastasis. The... |
0 | Mortality after the hospitalization of a spouse | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND: The illness of a spouse can affect the health of a caregiving partner. We examined the association between the hospitalization of a spouse and a partner's risk of death among elderly people. METHODS: We studied 518,240 couples who were enrolled in Medicare in 1993. We used Cox regression analysis and fixed-... |
1 | Causes of pain and loss of function in rotator cuff disease: analysis of 1383 cases | Trial Systematic Review Project | BACKGROUND: The New Zealand Rotator Cuff Registry is a multicentre, nationwide prospective study of rotator cuff repairs established in March 2009.
METHODS: A total of 1383 rotator cuff repairs were included in this study, all with completed baseline Flex-SF scores, pain scores and standardized operative forms.

1 | Carpal tunnel decompression: open vs endoscopic | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Carpal tunnel decompression is a common operation. While most patients report satisfaction there are recognized complications. New endoscopic techniques are claimed to reduce the incidence of these. However, the new techniques are not without complications of their own |
0 | Reducing costly falls after total knee arthroplasty | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | AIM: To investigate whether adductor canal nerve block (ACB) reduces patient falls when compared to femoral nerve block (FNB) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
METHODS: We conducted an institutional review of all-cause falls after TKA from January 2013 to August 2016 using a quality improvement database. Our inclusi... |
1 | The anatomy, symptoms, and signs of carpal tunnel syndrome | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | The described anatomy and signs of CTS have remained consistent throughout the years, although there has been a considerable discrepancy in the medical literature regarding the sensitivity and specificity of signs related to CTS. The following conclusions are supported by the body of medical literature available on CTS... |
0 | The prevention of early-onset neonatal group B streptococcus infection: technical report from the New Zealand GBS Consensus Working Party | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | AIMS: Early-onset neonatal group B streptococcus (GBS) is the leading infectious cause of disease in newborn babies. Since intrapartum antibiotics interrupt vertical GBS transmission, this is now a largely preventable public health problem. An important first step is to develop (then implement) nationally, agreed preve... |
