Objectives: To review the types of upper limb congenital differences in patients seen in a tertiary hospital in Jordan and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Oberg-Manske-Tonkin (OMT) system.
Methods: The medical charts and the X-rays of 222 patients with upper limb congenital differences were reviewed. All these cases were categorized using the OMT classification system.
Purpose: Some articles have focused on the effectiveness of the Pavlik harness treatment for unstable and dislocated hips, yet data on monitoring its effectiveness with the acetabular index remains elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to assess Pavlik harness effectiveness in infants ≤6 months diagnosed with grade I developmental dysplasia of the hip using acetabular index improvement and identify the possible predictors of successful Pavlik harness treatment.
Methods: A retrospective review of infants with grade I acetabular dysplasia treated with a Pavlik harness and monitored with anteroposterior pelvis X-rays at presentation and follow-up.
Background: Burnout is a serious issue that affects physicians more than the general population; however, those with higher levels of grit and resilience have been shown to experience lower levels of burnout. The primary aim was to determine the prevalence of burnout among Jordanian orthopedic surgeons, explore its risk factors, and investigate the relationship between burnout and grit and resilience.
Methods: We conducted a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study targeting a total of 180 orthopedic surgeons attending the yearly Jordanian National Orthopedic Conference (JNOC).
Alkaptonuria is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. It is characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid in the body due to a lack of enzymes that degrade it. Over time, it results in joint degeneration and eventually leads to ochronosis.

We hypothesized that participants receiving diabetes care from the mobile diabetes clinic (intervention group) would demonstrate significant improvement in glycemic control compared to those receiving treatment as usual (control group).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a longitudinal, quasi-experimental study in which two similar clinics were identified.
