Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women in Kuwait, and a study examined 823 cases from the Kuwait Cancer Control Center to understand clinical features and treatment results compared to other regions.
- The study found that Kuwaiti breast cancer patients were, on average, a decade younger than those in Western countries; 90.4% underwent surgery, with a mix of lumpectomy and mastectomy, while many also received radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
- Long-term survival rates showed 76% overall survival and 54% disease-free survival, indicating similar effectiveness between breast conservation and mastectomy, suggesting the need for broader adoption of breast conservation methods in treatment.
Objective: We report a case of a severely comminuted fracture of the body of the talus treated by primary Blair tibiotalar fusion.
Clinical Presentation And Intervention: A very severely comminuted open fracture of the body of the talus was treated on the same day of injury by debridement and tibiotalar fusion using the Blair fusion technique.
Conclusion: Blair fusion may be indicated in cases of severely comminuted fractures of the talar body.
