Closed Management of a Bent Tibial Nail: Can Revision Be Avoided?: A Case Report.

Case: A 49-year-old gentleman sustained a closed, right tibia peri-implant fracture with a bent intramedullary nail. This resulted in a 17° valgus and 5° recurvatum deformity with fracture at the distal third of the tibial shaft. The patient underwent closed manipulation with an F-Tool and was reviewed by our unit over the following year.

Defining Cephalomedullary Nail Breakage Rates: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To establish the background rate of breakage of cephalomedullary nails.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched on April 3, 2023.

Study Selection: All English-language studies that examined trochanteric with or without subtrochanteric fractures and identified cephalomedullary nail breakage as an outcome measure and a breakage rate could be derived were included.

Accuracy of Leg Length and Offset Measurements During Total Hip Arthroplasty Using an Imageless Navigation System.

Introduction Leg length and offset are important considerations in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Navigation systems are capable of providing intra-operative measurements of leg length and offset, and high accuracy has been shown in experimental studies. This study assesses the accuracy of an imageless navigation system with a pinless femoral array (Hip 5.

Utility assessment of virtual reality technology in orthopaedic surgical training.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) has proved to be a useful technology beyond the field of surgery in areas that are highly dependent on consolidating motor tasks. Despite being reliant on these skills, the uptake of VR in orthopaedics has been extremely limited. Therefore, this study's purpose was to help assess the utility of applying this technology in teaching different experience levels of orthopaedic training.

The Tyranny of Distance: How Hospital Transfer Affects Time to Surgery for Hip Fracture Patients.

Introduction In Western Australia, vast distances between hospitals can limit a patient's access to timely surgical intervention. The aim was to examine the effect of patient location on outcomes. Methods Hip fracture data from all operative cases at the major Western Australian hospitals between 2015 and 2019 was retrospectively reviewed.
