May 6th, 2022 - Although occupational exposure to radiation has been previously studied in the hand surgery literature, there is a paucity of studies looking at radiation exposure to the patient during fluoroscopy-guided hand surgery. We aimed to describe the lev...

Apr 20th, 2022 - Distal radius fractures are very common in paediatric patients. Severely displaced fractures may require surgical intervention. The gold standard surgical method is percutaneous K-wire osteosynthesis followed by immobilisation. Metal implants can ...

Apr 13th, 2022 - The objective of this study was to assess whether the positioning of the wrist joint in the cast in such a manner that it counteracts the direction of angulation of fragments is more important than the cast index in the prevention of secondary dis...

Mar 23rd, 2022 - Forearm fractures in children and adolescents are associated with increased body mass index (BMI). This bone site is non-weight-bearing and therefore is appropriate to explore the effect of BMI on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone geometry, avoi...

Mar 11th, 2022 - Practice Essentials The Galeazzi fracture-dislocation is an injury pattern involving isolated fractures of the junction of the distal third and middle third of the radius with associated subluxation or dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (D...

Dec 14th, 2021 - The patients are allocated randomly into the two groups(short-arm cast, long-arm cast). After confirming study participation, patients draw a sealed envelope enclosing a numbered card, which assignes them to one group or other. After choosing the ...

Jun 28th, 2021 - Background Pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures are common and one of the most frequent reasons for orthopedic care. Fractures in need of surgery are often treated with metal Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nails (ESIN). Nail removal after 6-12 mo...
