- Researchers studied the phone calls made to medical residents while they were on call to understand how many calls they received and why they got them.
- Over two periods of four weeks, they collected data from 10 residents about 460 calls, with most coming from nurses and doctors during weekday nights and weekends.
- Most residents thought that most of the calls were important, showing that being on call involves a lot of important work and decision-making.
Functional impact of tibial malrotation following intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures.

Background: Tibial malrotation is a complication that is seen in approximately 30% of patients following locked intramedullary nailing. In this cohort study, we evaluated the hypothesis that tibial malrotation would lead to impaired functional outcomes.
Methods: Patients with a unilateral tibial shaft fracture who were managed with intramedullary nailing between 2003 and 2007 were identified with use of ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes.
