Comparison Between Mini-Sternotomy and Full Sternotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement: A 10-Year Retrospective Study.

Introduction Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a mainstay treatment for moderate to severe aortic valve stenosis. This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of mini-sternotomy and conventional sternotomy. Methodology This 10-year retrospective study compared the clinical outcomes of mini-sternotomy and full sternotomy.

Comparison of Lateral and Crossed K-wires for Paediatric Supracondylar Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background Supracondylar elbow fractures occur most frequently in children aged five to seven years and have equal incidence in both genders. They are classified as flexion or extension type injuries with extension type being more common. We aimed to ascertain radiological stability with lateral and crossed wires in this study.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Length of Hospital Stay in Hip Fracture Patients: A Single Centre Study.

Background Hip fracture is a debilitating injury, especially in older individuals, which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In recent decades, there has been a great focus on early rehabilitation and discharge after hip fractures. The aim of such efforts is to minimize the financial and clinical burden of this condition.

Mortality in Hip Fracture Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Analysis in a District General Hospital in the United Kingdom.

Introduction Hip fracture is commonly seen in elderly patients because of low-energy trauma. It carries significant morbidity and mortality. Scoring systems such as the Nottingham hip fracture score (NHFS) have shown a good correlation with increased mortality as the value of these scores increases.

Documentation of neurovascular assessment in fracture patients in a tertiary care hospital: A retrospective review.

Introduction: Neurovascular problems are common in acute fracture. In the emergency room, a thorough clinical evaluation is required, when examined by an orthopedic specialist or emergency doctors.

Materials And Methods: we registered our project with the audit department.

Injuries associated with golf: A qualitative study.

Background: Golf is a popular sport played worldwide. The majority of professional golfers work as teaching professionals based at golf clubs. All professional players spend numerous hours on the golf course, placing themselves at increased risk of injury.

Study to estimate the average blood loss in different orthopedic procedures: A retrospective review.

Background: In orthopedic surgery, bleeding is an inevitable side effect. The study's aim was to provide estimated blood loss values in various orthopedic procedures and take a step towards developing statistically reliable formulae. This can provide blood loss values in orthopedic surgery, which will be a very good tool for operative planning.

Use of abbreviations in consent forms for orthopaedic surgery: A pilot study.

Background: Consent is a process of communication and the consent form is an important legal document of the evidence of discussion between doctor and patients. We observed frequent use of abbreviations in the consent forms in our department that can result in misunderstanding and miscommunication when consenting patients for orthopaedic procedures.

Methods: We completed an audit cycle starting by reviewing a total of 350 consent forms retrospectively in level one trauma centres in October-November of 2019 for different orthopaedic trauma procedures.

Liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma: Improving eligibility without compromising outcomes.

Background: In the context of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), traditional transplant criteria appear restrictive. The objective of the current study was to determine risk factors for recurrence and improve transplant eligibility in patients with HCC.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent living donor liver transplant (LDLT) for HCC (n = 219).

Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Single-Center Experience from Pakistan.

Background: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is an established treatment for patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within Milan criteria. Acceptable outcomes have been demonstrated in patients fulfilling extended criteria. Here, we share our experience with LDLT for patients with HCC within and beyond Milan criteria, with emphasis on poor prognostic factors.

Saphenous vein conduits for hepatic arterial reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation.

Purpose: Occasionally, a recipient's native hepatic arteries are not suitable for reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The use of the great saphenous vein (GSV) conduits in such patients is seldom practiced since arterial conduits from deceased donors are available. Here, we share our experience with a significantly large group of LDLT recipients who underwent arterial reconstruction with GSV conduits.

Living Donor Liver Transplantation in South Asia: Single Center Experience on Intermediate-Term Outcomes.

Background: There is paucity of data on intermediate-term post liver transplant outcomes from South Asia. The objective of this study was to determine survival outcomes in patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in a busy liver transplant center in Pakistan.

Methods: This study was a review of patients who underwent LDLT between 2012 and 2016.

Failure to rescue in living donor liver transplantation: Patterns and predictors.

Background: As a quality assessment tool, failure to rescue (FTR) has been employed in various surgical specialties. However, its role in liver transplantation has only recently been explored. To the best of our knowledge, role of FTR in living donor liver transplant (LDLT) has not been assessed previously.
