Background
In-hospital mortality and discharge disposition following traumatic hip fractures previously reported in the literature, has mainly focused on a nationwide scale, which may not be reflective of unique populations.
Objective
Our aim was to characterize demographics, hospital disposition, and associated outcomes for patients with the most...
Purpose:
To evaluate if income status affects the timing of presentation to orthopaedic care, surgical treatment, or continuity of care following a closed ankle fracture.
Methods:
Th is retrospective study identified 434 patients with closed ankle fractures treated with operative fixation from 2014 to 2016. Median income data were extracted usin...
Objectives:
To examine the incidence of surgical site complications associated with pronation-abduction ankle fracture-dislocations with an open medial tension wound.
Design:
Retrospective case series.
Setting:
Accredited level-1 trauma center.Patients/Participants: Forty-eight open pronation-abduction ankle fracture-dislocations with medial t...
Proximal femur fractures are among the most frequently encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Due to the high forces around the proximal femur and the difficulty associated with treating many of these fracture patterns, malunions of the proximal femur can occur. While some proximal femur malunions cause severe functional limitations, a number of othe...
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to examine the rates of surgical site complications of staple closure versus suture closure following open reduction and internal fixation of closed unstable ankle fractures.
Methods:
Between 2014 and 2016, a total of 545 patients with closed ankle fractures were treated at our level-1 trauma centre by means...
Objective:
To examine the impact of insurance status on access to orthopaedic care and incidence of surgical site complications in patients with closed unstable ankle fractures.
Design:
Retrospective chart review.
Setting:
Certified level-1 urban trauma center and county facility.
Participants:
489 patients with closed unstable ankle fractur...
Introduction:
Pelvic angiography with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is an established intervention for management of pelvic arterial hemorrhage. This study analyzes complication rates after angiography among patients with pelvic trauma treated in the context of a multidisciplinary institutional pelvic fracture protocol.
Methods:
Retr...
Background. Injuries inflicted by gunshot wounds (GSWs) are an immense burden on the South African (SA) healthcare system. In 2005, Allard and Burch estimated SA state hospitals treated approximately 127 000 firearm victims annually and concluded that the cost of treating an abdominal GSW was approximately USD1 467 per patient. While the annual num...
BACKGROUND: Open tibia fractures are notoriously difficult to treat, with a high rate of union problems and infection. Gunshot wound-associated fractures of the tibia compound these issues further by causing extensive bone comminution and soft tissue damage. No universally accepted management protocol exists, but intramedullary (IM) nailing of thes...
