Background: Ankle fractures are common injuries that often present first to general practitioners, urgent care clinicians, or emergency medical services (EMS) teams. Inadequate prehospital management such as suboptimal s...

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...

Background: Fractures of the proximal third of the tibia commonly result from high-velocity trauma, particularly road traffic accidents, and are often associated with significant soft-tissue injury. Their management rema...

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, ...

Introduction Early open fracture management aims to minimise the risk of complications. For the most severe open fracture wounds, multiple irrigation and debridement surgeries are required to overcome severe wound contam...

Hip fractures in the elderly represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. A considerable proportion of these patients are on antiplatelet medications, such as aspirin (Ecospirin) and clopidogrel (Clopitab), ...

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 Background Perioperative diastolic dysfunction has been proposed as an independent predictor of postoperative major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after noncardiac surgery. However, prior studies have largely foc...

Abstract Background Intertrochanteric femoral fractures are common in the elderly population and are associated with substantial mortality. While fracture reduction quality is known to influence mechanical outcomes, its ...

Abstract Bone fracture healing requires coordinated regulation of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and immune homeostasis within a dynamically evolving microenvironment. However, current biomaterials rarely integrate these th...

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...

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...

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...

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...

In underground mining and tunneling projects, directional fracture-controlled blasting is critical for precise tunnel formation and reducing over- and under-excavation. However, the presence of well-developed joints in r...

This study investigates the effect of discharge voltage on fracture distribution and fragmentation extent in multi-hole pulsed discharge rock fragmentation. Comparative experiments were conducted on red sandstone specime...

This study investigates the fragmentation expansion and water storage characteristics of collapsed rock in overlying strata during its formation. Pre-static loaded fractured samples of four typical roof rock types-coarse...

Introduction Disasters often cause large numbers of injuries, including fractures, lacerations and amputations, which overwhelm emergency services. Orthotic and prosthetic solutions can provide timely primary care, reduc...

Introduction: Complete traumatic disruption of the anorectal sphincter in children is rare and surgically challenging. High-grade penetrating injuries with delayed presentation and heavy fecal contamination carry signifi...

Humeral shaft fractures are prevalent, with the majority receiving nonoperative treatment using a functional brace. However, some patients necessitate surgical intervention either as an initial approach or in cases where...

Aim: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of cemented versus cementless femoral stems in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.Material and Methods: This study incl...

This study proposes a deep-hole directional blasting technology based on polymer energy charge packages for roof cutting and pressure relief as a solution to difficult roadway support and poor stability of coal pillars d...
