Pelvic and long bone fractures are common amongst major trauma patients. Rapid and safe skeletal stabilization is an important step in the early management of these patients, as part of systemic damage control as well as local fracture and soft tissue management. A clear understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics is required to carry out safe pin insertion and stable external fixator construction.
Total radiation exposure accumulated during circular frame treatment of distal tibial fractures was quantified in 47 patients treated by a single surgeon from February 2007 until Oct 2010. The radiation exposures for all relevant radiology procedures for the distal tibial injury were included to estimate the radiation risk to the patient.The median time of treatment in the frame was 169 days (range...
To examine the differences between severely injured older patients (aged over 65 years) compared with similarly injured younger adults in terms of incidence, inpatient mortality and factors predicting outcome.Data prospectively entered into the Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN) database from our level I trauma unit over a 5-year period were retrospectively examined, with 3172 patients included...
In infections following orthopaedic surgery, isolated staphylococci are reported to be methicillin resistant (MRSA) in up to 50% of cases. Linezolid, the first in a new class of antibiotics, has excellent efficacy against gram positive organisms that are resistant to other therapies and is 100% orally bioavailable. We report early results of its use for the treatment of resistant infections in orthopaedic...
