Regional anesthesia (RA) is sometimes used to decrease pain and opioid consumption in distal femur fractures. However, the real-world impact of RA on inpatient opioid consumption and outpatient opioid demand is not well known. The hypothesis of this study is that RA would be associated with decreased inpatient opioid consumption and outpatient opio...

The intramedullary magnetic IM nail enables bone graduated distraction. Proximal femur osteotomies for ante grade IM lengthening nails have a tendency towards varus-procurvatum malalignment. We examined the effect of the level of the osteotomy and of trochanteric versus piriformis entry points on the neck shaft angle (NSA) during lengthening with t...

Accurate identification of patients at risk of blood transfusion can reduce complications and improve institutional resource allocation. Probabilistic models are used to detect risk factors and formulate patient blood management strategies. Whether these predictors vary among institutions is unclear. We aimed to identify risk factors among our pati...

Sub-capital femoral fractures (SCFF) are impacted or non-displaced in Garden types 1 and 2, respectively. Non-surgical treatment is protected weight-bearing combined with physiotherapy and radiographic follow-up in selected patients. Traditionally, in situ pinning is the surgical treatment of choice. The aim of this study was to estimate whether th...

The present prospective randomized study compared the bone transport technique (BT) and Masquelet technique (MT) in the treatment of infected gap non-union of the tibia. Total 25 patients with infected gap non-union of the tibia with bone gap upto 6 cm were randomised into BT group (group I, 13 patients) and MT (group II, 12 patients). The mean age...

On rare occasions, fractures of the tibial plateau may occur after uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and account for 2% of total UKA failures. The purpose of this narrative review is to identify and discuss potential risk factors that might lead to prevention of this invalidating complication. Electronic database of Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane...

The patient's perspective plays a key role in judging the effect of knee disorders on physical function. We have introduced the Subjective Knee Value (SKV) to simplify the evaluation of individual's knee function by providing one simple question. The purpose of this prospective study was to validate the SKV with accepted multiple-item knee surveys ...

There is conflicting data on how thoracic kyphosis changes throughout adulthood. We evaluated mid and lower thoracic kyphosis (MTK) in various age groups and the influence of age, sex and coronal curve (CC) on MTK. We studied 1323 patients 15-80 years-old (54.4% females) previously evaluated with chest radiographs. We established three groups: pati...

Consensus has not been reached regarding ideal outcome measures for total hip arthroplasty (THA) clinical evaluation and research. The goal of this review was to analyze the trends in outcome metrics within the THA literature and to discuss the potential impact of instrument heterogeneity on clinical practice. A PubMed search of all manuscripts rel...

Discerning whether range of motion (ROM) is restricted by morphology or other pain sources is challenging in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Computed tomography (CT) motion simulation provides a hypothetical ROM based on morphology. This study aimed to explore associations between ROM measured using CT motion simulation ...
