Mortality and Incidence Rate of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection in Patients Admitted and Operated for Hip Fracture during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in a London Hospital.

 We are doing a study on patients admitted with hip fractures to determine the impact of COVID-19 on a vulnerable patients group in the United Kingdom. This will help us in making informed decisions about restarting elective surgical services and expanding trauma surgical services. The objectives of the study are: 1) to find the incidence of COVID-19 in patients admitted with hip fractures; 2) To find the 30-day mortality in patients operated with hip fractures; 3) To find the 30-day mortality of patients with hip fracture and COVID 19; and 4) to compare this data with the mortality in hip fractures in previous years.

Results of a Standard versus an Accelerated Ponseti Protocol for Clubfoot: A Prospective Randomized Study.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the results of the standard once-weekly Ponseti casting technique to an accelerated twice-weekly regimen in our population cohort.

Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted with a total of 100 consecutive patients (158 feet) being enrolled for the study. Fifty patients were randomized to each group and followed up for at least one year.

Introduction to "tension loop internal fixation" of simple fractures and "Faisal's double noose loops".

In this paper, is described a new method of internal fixation for smaller bone fractures without comminution and with interdigitating ends, especially clavicle and forearm bones. Fixation and compression are achieved by a new technique called "the double noose loop". This fixation can be to allow placement of a plate easily.

Open access upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: a 2-year experience from 2001 to 2003.

Background: The role of open access endoscopy in detecting serious diseases like malignancy and peptic ulcers is debated. We participated in an open access endoscopy service and this study details our experience.

Methods: The Cancer Society of Kashmir provided an open access upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy service in Kashmir between 2001 and 2003.
