Background: There are various implant choices to fix unstable per- trochanteric fractures. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of dynamic hip screw and proximal femur nail for unstable per-trochanteric fractures including complications associated with both fixations.
Methods: A retrospective analysis done on pertrochanteric fractures of femur who were treated with Dynamic hip Screw (DHS) and Proximal Femur Nail (PFN).
Background: We hypothesized that the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) demonstrates a great healing response after initial trauma and has competent cells leading to the healing but differs in its response based on the type of tear and duration of injury. This study aimed to evaluate the histological and cellular responses to the injured ACL.
Methods: Fifty-two tissue samples from the ACL were harvested from patients undergoing arthroscopy.
Objective: To primarily assess pain score in first 24 hours in PECS (PECtoral Serratus) block group undergoing mastectomy; secondary objective was to observe opioid and antiemetic consumption in the postoperative period.
Study Design: Observer-blinded randomised control trial.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Anesthesiology, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Lahore (SKMCH), from February to December 2017.
