Utility of CT Scans for Detecting Operative Malleolar Fractures Associated With Tibial Shaft Fractures.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to define the utility of CT scans for detecting articular extension in tibial shaft fractures and determine whether radiographic parameters can predict the presence of operative distal tibial articular fractures (DTAFs).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Single level I trauma center.

Trauma recidivism is reduced with engagement in psychosocial programming following orthopaedic trauma.

Introduction: Recidivism is common following injury. Interventions to enhance patient engagement may reduce trauma recidivism. Education, counseling, peer mentorship, and other resources are known as Trauma Recovery Services (TRS).

Enhancing Trauma Patient Experience Through Education and Engagement: Development of a Mobile Application.

Unlabelled: The purpose was to determine the utility of an open access mobile device application (App: http://bit.ly/traumaapp) to improve patient education and engagement.

Methods: A patient education app was developed with information regarding injury, treatment, and recovery for orthopaedic and other injuries.

Room-Temperature Phosphorescent Platinum(II) Alkynyls with Microsecond Lifetimes Bearing a Strong-Field Pincer Ligand.

The use of organometallic triplet emitters in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is motivated by the premise of efficient intersystem crossing leading to unit internal quantum efficiencies. However, since most devices are based on solid-state components, an inherent limitation to square-planar platinum(II) phosphors is their tendency toward aggregation-based quenching. Here, a new class of emissive, four-coordinate Pt species based on the bisimidazolyl carbazolide (BIMCA) ligand is introduced, which displays highly efficient, long-lived solid-state phosphorescence at room temperature.
