Crossed pinning in paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures: a retrospective cohort analysis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the management of displaced paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures at our Level I Trauma Centre and to determine clinical and radiographic long-term results following operative treatment.

Methods: Clinical and radiological results of 78 paediatric patients (29 female, 49 male; mean age 5.1 years) with supracondylar humerus fractures, treated from 1992 to 2004, were evaluated.

Antihyperalgesic efficacy of 5% lidocaine medicated plaster in capsaicin and sunburn pain models--two randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover trials in healthy volunteers.

Objective: The aim of this research is to analyze analgesic efficacy of the 5% lidocaine medicated plaster in two randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover studies in 16 healthy volunteers using capsaicin and sunburn pain models.

Methods: Lidocaine and placebo plasters were simultaneously applied to forearms and thighs at contralateral body sites for three alternating 12-h plaster-on/plaster-off periods. Between the second and third plaster-on period, 4.
