Isolated Subtalar Dislocations: Insights from a Case Study and Literature Review.

Background: Isolated subtalar joint dislocations without associated fractures are rare in the medical literature. They occur when the talus bone remains in place while the calcaneus and navicular bones shift out of place. These dislocations account for about 15% of talus bone injuries and 1 to 2% of all joint dislocations.

Vancomycin flushing syndrome in orthopaedic practice: A case report.

Background: Vancomycin flushing syndrome (VFS), also known as red man syndrome, is an allergic reaction to vancomycin. It typically presents as a rash on the face, neck, and upper torso after intravenous administration of vancomycin. VFS is blamed on rapid intravenous infusion of vancomycin during management and rarely happens after local use.

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia: a Case Report.

Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal heart rhythm that can lead to pump failure and hypoperfusion. Its causes, presentation, and treatment are well established in the literature. However, the VT treatment algorithm is based on non-traumatic patients.

Completely Displaced Femoral Neck Stress Fracture in a Young Male Soldier With Almost No Functional Impact: A Case Report.

Stress fracture in general is a well-known condition that can be found commonly in healthy athletes and military personnel. These fractures occur due to bone fatigue in response to the repetitive stress of exercise. Although few reports on stress fractures among military personnel and active young athletes can be found in previous literature, we present this case report of a young military soldier that had a completely displaced neck of femur fracture with no functional limitation for seven days prior to seeking medical advice; the patient was operated on and followed for three years after and did not develop complications associated with this kind of fracture.

Epidemiology, Etiology, Timing and Severity of Open Fracture - a Five Years Review From a Tertiary Trauma Center, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Open fractures are severe injuries resulting from the bone breaking through the skin, and they have a negative impact on patients' physical, mental, and financial well-being as well as that of the healthcare system. The incidence of open fractures varies globally. These injuries can lead to prolonged disability, increased healthcare costs, and psychological distress.

A Retrospective Analysis from A Single Center Perspective On Complications After Fixing Distal Radius Fracture In Pediatric Population.

Background: The Distal radius fractures in the pediatric age group have similar complications to any other fracture. One interpretation of the high fracture incidence in the distal third of the radius is the relative weakness of the metaphyseal part.

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide an evaluation of Surgical complications of distal radius through satisfactory reduction and proper fixation by K-wires through bone growth plates.

Morbidity and mortality after fragility hip fracture in a Saudi Arabian population: Report from a single center.

Objective To determine the functional morbidity and mortality after fragility hip fracture and compare the mortality with three other common diseases. Methods Data were collected from patients admitted to King Fahd Hospital of the University, AlKhobar from January 2010 to December 2014. Demographic data included the preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score as assessed by the anesthetist and the type of surgery.

Is Cronbach's alpha sufficient for assessing the reliability of the OSCE for an internal medicine course?

Background: The number of medical students accepted into medical programs is increasing, which has made the traditional long/short case style of examination difficult to conduct. At Dammam University, the program is shifting to the use of the Objective Structural Clinical Examination (OSCE), which may solve some of these difficulties, including issues with reliability, validity index and exam duration.

Results: A pilot study was conducted over one semester.
