Background
Preoperative quantification of bone loss has a significant effect on surgical decision making and patient outcomes. Various measurement techniques for calculating glenoid bone loss have been proposed in the literature. To date, no studies have directly compared measurement techniques to determine which technique, if any, is the most reli...
Background: Translating research into practice, especially the implementation of digital health technologies in routine care, is increasingly important. Yet, there are few studies examining the challenges of implementing patient-facing digital technologies in health care settings.
Objective: The aim of this study was to report challenges experience...

Background
Proximal humeral fractures are common in older patients. The majority are minimally displaced and are associated with good outcomes after nonoperative treatment. Poorer outcomes are associated with displaced, multipart fractures. There is no clear benefit from surgical fracture fixation compared to nonoperative treatment. Replacement of...
Background:
Posterior instability is a relatively rare and challenging condition to treat. Soft-tissue procedures do not always provide satisfactory results. We present the results after arthroscopic posterior bone block augmentation with an iliac crest bone graft and a minimum of 12 months' follow-up.
Materials and methods:
Between 2008 and 200...
Deep posterior compartment syndrome is an extremely rare complication of ankle fracture and the few reported cases in the literature show that it is usually diagnosed late. Anterior and deep posterior compartment syndromes have been described with variable manifestations according to the compartment affected. We present a case of deep posterior com...
The incidence of rotational malalignment after femoral nailing has been reported to be at least 20%. If the deformity is recognised early, it can be corrected by changing the distal locking screw and rotating the bone prior to fracture union. It is common practice to use the same distal locking screw of the nail if this surgery is performed, howeve...
Hybrid external fixators are useful for the management of complex tibial plateau and plafond fractures, as they provide rigid fixation with relatively minimal soft tissue disruption. We reviewed the outcomes of patients with proximal (plateau) and distal (plafond) tibial fractures who were treated with hybrid frames at the Royal North Shore Hospita...
