Article Synopsis
- A scoping review highlights the lack of guidance for long-term follow-up after elbow arthroplasty, prompting a study on the effectiveness of regular surveillance for identifying failing implants.
- The research analyzed data from 97 elbow arthroplasties performed between 2013 and 2022, revealing that most patients attended follow-up appointments, with special attention on revisions needed after one year.
- Ultimately, the study established surveillance as valuable, successfully identifying all cases of failed implants that required revisions within the designated follow-up period.
Objective: To date, research and policy directives have focused on identifying individual risk factors for moral injury, with less attention to solutions for establishing non-morally injurious cultures and practices.
Methods: Experts with academic or clinical knowledge of moral injury were recruited to a three-round e-Delphi survey exploring descriptors and characteristics of non-morally injurious organisations.
Results: Forty-nine, forty-one and thirty-nine experts responded at each round.
Linear accelerator (LINAC) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a specialised treatment used for various brain conditions, including arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). This paper investigates the obliteration rate of AVMs treated by the LINAC-based facility at Prince of Wales Hospital, defines factors influencing obliteration rate, time to obliteration and complications post-SRS. A retrospective audit review of patient notes sourced from electronic medical records was conducted.

- The study evaluates the Thoracic Enhanced Recovery with Ambulation after Surgery (T-ERAS) protocol, focusing on early ambulation for patients undergoing minimally invasive lung cancer surgery.
- It compared the actual length of stay (LOS) of 886 eligible patients to the predicted LOS from a surgical risk calculator, finding that the average observed LOS was significantly shorter at 1.2 days versus the predicted 3.4 days.
- The results suggest that the T-ERAS protocol effectively shortens the hospital stay for these patients, with 95% having a shorter LOS than expected, indicating its potential as a valuable approach in surgical recovery.
