A study was undertaken to determine the requirement for primary plastic surgery in the treatment of open fractures. We reviewed 3297 consecutive open fractures in a 22-year period in a defined population. Analysis showed that 12.6% of patients required primary plastic surgery with 5.6% being treated with split skin grafting and 7.2% with a flap. Only 3.5% of open upper limb fractures required primary...
There is increasing evidence demonstrating an association between fracture epidemiology and socioeconomic status. However, the influence of socioeconomic deprivation on fracture outcome has not been documented before. The aim of this study was to determine if socioeconomic deprivation influenced the short-term outcome following a fracture of the radial head or neck.We identified from a prospective...
There is little information available about the epidemiology of open fractures. We examined 2386 open fractures over a 15-year period analysing the incidence and severity of the fractures. The majority of open fractures are low energy injuries with only 22.3% of open fractures being caused by road traffic accidents or falls from a height. The distribution curves of many open fractures are different...
The aim of our study was to report the epidemiological characteristics of fractures of the proximal ulna.From our prospective trauma database of 6872 fractures, we identified all acute fractures of the proximal ulna from a 1-year period between July 2007 and June 2008. Age, gender, mode of injury, fracture classifications, associated injuries and treatment were the factors documented and analysed...
