The characteristics of white dot syndromes following COVID-19 Vaccines: a systematic review.

Purpose: To review all studies reporting the onset of white dot syndromes following COVID-19 vaccines.

Methods: Our protocol was registered prospectively on PROSPERO [registration number: CRD42023426012]. We searched five different databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Science Direct up to May 2023.

Fixation of Proximal Third Humeral Shaft Fractures in Older Patients.

Background: Humeral shaft fractures occur frequently in older patients. The more proximal end of the shaft is prone to non-union when compared with more distal fractures. We provide an overview of several key features of this significant patient group.

Mental Health, resilience, and religiosity in the elderly under COVID-19 quarantine in Qatar.

Introduction: Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) quarantine has been associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. We hypothesize these symptoms might even be more pronounced in the elderly, who may be particularly sensitive to social isolation. However, certain individuals might be more resilient than others due to their coping mechanisms, including religious coping.

Headless Compression Screw Fixation of Delayed Union Jones Fractures: A Case Series.

Background: Different methods have been adopted to treat delayed union and non-union of fractures of the base of the fifth metatarsal using screws, plates and tension band wires. There has been increasing use of intramedullary screw fixation to treat these fractures with variable rates of success. The optimum screw diameter and properties have been a subject of debate.

Clinical Outcome of Percutaneous Intramedullary Fixation for Midshaft Clavicular Fractures Using Elastic Stable Nails.

Background: This study investigated the clinical outcomes of fixation of displaced middle-third clavicular fractures using percutaneous elastic stable intramedullary nails.

Material And Methods: This study included sixty patients with a mean age of 26.40 ± 8.

Short-term Clinical Outcome of Proximal Humeral Fracture Fixation Using Minimally Invasive Trans-Deltoid Approach.

Background: This study examined the clinical outcomes of fixation of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus using a trans-deltoid approach.

Material And Methods: Twenty patients (13 male and 7 female) were treated with this technique, with a mean age of the patients of 38.85 years (range, 19 to 64 years).

Anterolateral ligament reconstruction improves the clinical and functional outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in athletes.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with those of combined ACL and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction in ACL-deficient knees. The objective of this study was to improve knowledge regarding the treatment of ACL-deficient knees with combined ACL and ALL reconstruction. Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction has been hypothesized to result in better clinical and functional outcomes than isolated ACL reconstruction (ACLR).

Management of Unstable Phalangeal Shaft Fractures Using External Minifixator.

Background: Fractures of the hand are the most common fractures in the skeletal system and phalangeal fractures constitute about 46% of all hand fractures. Operative treatment of unstable phalangeal fractures should aim at anatomic fracture reduction and stable fixation that allows early mobilization of the affected finger's joints . This study evaluates the results of fixation of unstable shaft fractures of finger proximal or middle phalanges using a non-spanning external minifixator.

Evaluation of the results of management of frozen shoulder using the arthroscopic capsular release.

Background: The aim of treatment of frozen shoulder is to regain a painless and functional shoulder range of shoulder motion. In this study we evaluated the results of using the arthroscopic technique for the release of the shoulder joint capsule in patients with a diagnosis of frozen shoulder.

Material And Methods: The study included 40 patients with frozen shoulder.

Treatment of subtalar calcanean fractures using trans-osseous limited lateral approach.

Background: Calcaneal fractures are the most common fractures of the tarsal bones. The majority of these fractures are produced by axial force like a fall from a height. Controversy still exists on the best line of treatment.
