Home versus indoor trampoline park injuries: A four-year review of hospital admissions, associated costs, and impact on patients.

Hospital admissions for trampoline-related injuries are a metric of injury severity. The literature shows hospital admissions are more likely to occur from trampoline park injuries rather than home trampoline injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the demographics, injury characteristics, patient experiences, and economic impact of home versus trampoline park injuries requiring admission to hospital before and after two indoor trampoline parks opened in the catchment area of a Level II trauma centre.

An In Vitro Study to Determine the Effect of Ulnar Shortening on Distal Forearm Loading During Wrist and Forearm Motion: Implications in the Treatment of Ulnocarpal Impaction.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of ulnar shortening on distal forearm loading following simulated dynamic motion.

Methods: Ulnar shortening was simulated using a custom-built adjustable implant to simulate up to 4 mm of ulnar shortening (-4 mm) in 9 cadaveric extremities. Load cells were placed in the distal ulna and radius to quantify axial loading.

Effect of Radial Lengthening on Distal Forearm Loading Following Simulated In Vitro Radial Shortening During Simulated Dynamic Wrist Motion.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of radial length change on distal forearm loading during simulated dynamic wrist motion.

Methods: A custom-built adjustable radial implant was used to simulate up to 4 mm of distal radius shortening (-4 mm) and 3 mm of lengthening (+3 mm). Load cells were placed in the distal radius and ulna in cadavers to measure their respective axial loads.

Arthroscopic debridement for primary elbow osteoarthritis with and without capsulectomy: a comparative cohort study.

Background: Arthroscopic elbow debridement for primary osteoarthritis may be performed with or without a joint capsulectomy. The purpose of this comparative cohort study was to compare range of motion (ROM) and early complications between patients with and without anterior capsulectomy.

Methods: In total, 110 patients with primary osteoarthritis of the elbow who underwent an arthroscopic debridement for primary osteoarthritis were reviewed with a minimum of 3 months postoperative follow-up.

Functional outcome of supracondylar elbow fractures in children: a 3- to 5-year follow-up.

Background: Long-term functional outcomes of supracondylar elbow fractures (SCEF) have not been well documented in the literature. We retrospectively evaluated functional outcomes of pediatric SCEF using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of patients who presented to our tertiary care pediatric emergency department with SCEF between January 2005 and December 2009.
