Objective: Evaluate whether implementation of an academic trauma team and a dedicated orthopaedic trauma room (DOTR) reduces surgical delay and improves efficiency in hip fracture management at a Level III trauma center....

ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been a proliferation of literature describing new technologies increasingly integrated into the surgical management of pelvic fractures. However, the available data are heterogeneous, ...

Large fractures tend to dominate the hydraulic and mechanical properties of fracture networks and, consequently, of fractured rock masses. Hence, their characterization is of primary interest in a variety of applications...

Abstract Hip fracture is a key global health challenge with an estimated incidence of 26 million new cases by 2050. Although the World Health Organization 's Intrinsic capacity (IC) framework provides a comprehensive app...

Bashir Dahir Ahmed,1 Mohamed Hassan Mohamud,2 Omar Sidow Zubair,3 Mohamed Abdi Warsame,4 Tigad Abdisad Ali5 1Department of Orthopedics, Madina Hospital, Mogadishu, Somalia; 2Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, Zamzam Univer...

BackgroundHip fractures in older adults are costly and often fatal. Cognitive impairment (CI) complicates pain assessment, raises delirium risk, and hinders early mobilization and rehabilitation. This review synthesizes ...

Abstract Background Tibial spine avulsion fractures (TSFs) are the pediatric equivalent of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The optimal management of type II fractures remains debated, and both conservative and...

Fractures are common in the Earth  crust due to different factors, for instance, tectonic stresses and natural or artificial hydraulic fracturing caused by a pressurized fluid. A dense set of fractures  behaves as an e...

Abstract Background Hip fractures are among the most common consequences of osteoporosis, yet adequate diagnosis in medical records remains suboptimal, and translation of documented osteoporosis into pharmacologic therap...

Abstract Background In the Netherlands, approximately 20,000 older adults sustain a hip fracture every year. Most of these patients are frail, institutionalised, have limited postoperative mobility and a high mortality r...

Sea ice fracture is a time-dependent process in which viscous relaxation delays the onset of cracking in the short term, but accumulated deformation and energy dissipation over long loading times can still lead to fractu...

Management of mandibular fracture using open reduction Internal fixation (ORIF) method is one of the ideal treatments for single and multiple mandibular fractures. The aim of this study was to determine the quality of li...

Extremity fracture surgery is the standard surgical intervention for traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. The maturation of ultrasound-guided visualization techniques has facilitated the widespread application of peripher...

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric bone mineral density (DXA BMD) is a strong predictor of fracture risk in untreated patients. However, previous patient-level studies suggest that BMD changes explain little of the fractu...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore self-perceptions and embodied experiences of different dimensions of frailty among older adults with hip fracture, to complement objective frailty assessment and inform the ...

Background. Stress fractures are a prevalent overuse injury in athletes, with female athletes consistently reporting higher incidence rates than males. This disparity is driven by an interplay of anatomical, hormonal, b...

Electroslag welding involves high heat input, which may cause material hardening in the weld and heat-affected zone. At the same time, the electroslag weld is in an inaccessible state, making the welding quality difficul...

Aims: This audit aimed to assess compliance with British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma (BOAST) for paediatric forearm and wrist fractures across UK NHS hospitals and identify targets for improvement locall...

PurposeTo define the anatomical boundaries of potential safe corridors for the placement of Schanz screws during external fixation of unstable pelvic fractures in normally developed adolescents aged 11–14 years.Patient...

Aims: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) allows immediate weightbearing and avoids challenges associated with secondary arthroplasty following conservative management or failed fixation of tibial plateau fractures (TPFs). Met...

Abstract Background Traumatic skull fractures (TSF) are relatively frequent in dogs and cats, but little information is available regarding their clinical and imaging features. Hypothesis/Objectives To describe the neuro...

Background/Aim: Gunshot injury-related mandibular fractures often have a complex pattern, characterized by comminution, bone loss, and soft-tissue avulsion. The management is difficult and varies between individual cases...

Abstract Osteoporotic fractures (OPF) and hypertension frequently co-occur in older adults, yet comprehensive datasets integrating clinical, pharmacological, and longitudinal outcome data remain scarce. We describe a lon...

In cases of pulp necrosis, infection products can spread into the periapical tissues, triggering an inflammatory response that stimulates the proliferation of the epithelial cell rests of Malassez. As the epithelial mass...
