Introduction: The main objective of the present prospective study was to assess mechanical complications associated with an original intramedullary nail with limited and controlled blade back-out in the treatment of trochanteric fracture.
Material And Method: All patients treated for trochanteric fracture in a single orthopedic/traumatologic surgery department over a 2-year period were included. Minimum follow-up was 6 months.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the treatment outcomes of periprosthetic tibial fractures following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with the assumption that surgical intervention yields good long-term results.
- - Involving 15 patients aged 71.8 on average, the research showed that most fractures stabilized with various surgical methods, but complications, including infections and the need for revision surgeries, were common.
- - Overall, while the clinical and radiological outcomes were promising, the quality of life for the patients was reported to be impaired, highlighting the risks involved with these types of fractures.
Health status during hospitalisations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations: the validity of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire.
Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res
April 2014
Hospitalisations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are characterised by a significant worsening of the respiratory symptoms which can impair the health status (HS). However little is known on the HS behaviour during such events. Prospective study evaluating the validity of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) as a HS measure in hospitalisations for COPD exacerbations.
