Epidemiological study of injuries caused by violence and conflict in forensic medical records of selected cities of Sistan and Baluchistan province in 2020.

Background And Aims: Interpersonal violence is a socially traumatic and unpleasant phenomenon. These violence-related injuries are sometimes irreparable and can become a permanent problem, Violence in Iran is one of the five most socially harmed and has increased dramatically in recent years, therefore the present research aimed to investigate epidemiological study of injuries caused by violence and conflict in forensic medical records of selected cities of Sistan and Baluchistan province in 2020 considering this subject must be one of our priorities.

Methods: This study was a descriptive study performed in forensic medicine centers of two cities in Sistan and Baluchistan province, Iran.

OPTY-LINE remote-controlled adjustable intramedullary device implantation in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy: A prospective proof-of-concept pilot and comparison with Tomofix fixed-plate device method.

Purpose: The objective was to evaluate the clinical and patient-related short- to medium-term performance of the OPTY-LINE nail device for high tibial osteotomy (HTO), comparing a case series of the said device to the established Tomofix fixed-plate device.

Patients And Methods: Males with symptomatic medial compartmental osteoarthritis and no serious (co-morbid) knee pathology were followed up, five Tomofix and six OPTY-LINE patients. Patients underwent computed tomography assessment and completed Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome score (KOOS) and osteotomy surgery patient satisfaction questionnaires, 3 and 6 months post-surgery.

The role of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of occult scaphoid fractures.

Ultrasonography is widely utilized by emergency physicians and radiologists to diagnose various orthopaedic diseases, including fractures. We aim to derive a definitive estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in clinically suspected scaphoid fractures. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of included diagnostic cohort studies that discussed the use of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of occult scaphoid fractures.

Scaphoid Fracture in a Patient with a Scaphotrapezial Synostosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Scaphotrapezial synostosis has been rarely reported in the literature and only one case underwent surgical treatment for scaphoid fracture. A 15-year-old male presented with a painful left wrist following a fall. The initial radiographs showed a displaced scaphoid proximal pole fracture and a Scaphotrapezial synostosis.

Early MRI diagnostics for suspected scaphoid fractures subsequent to initial plain radiography.

Aim: In the United Kingdom, diagnostic management of patients presenting to emergency department with a scaphoid injury varies. Follow-up plain radiographs, after an initial inconclusive X-ray, are common practice. We optimised the diagnostic pathway for these patients by focusing on the most appropriate diagnostic modality and on minimising the time to follow-up diagnostics.

Indirect magnetic resonance arthrography of the shoulder; a reliable diagnostic tool for investigation of suspected labral pathology.

Purpose: Indirect magnetic resonance arthrography (I-MRA) confers significant logistical advantages over direct MRA and does not require articular injection. In this study, we determined the diagnostic performance of I-MRA in relation to conventional MRI and arthroscopy or surgery in detecting tears of the glenoid labrum, including Bankart lesions and superior labral antero-posterior (SLAP) tears in a standard clinical setting.

Patients And Methods: Ninety-one symptomatic patients underwent conventional MRI and I-MRA of the affected shoulder, followed by either arthroscopy or open surgery.
