Purpose: To describe the medial-sided pathoanatomy and ligament injuries in acute MLKIs with medial-sided involvement andlook forassociated injury patterns based upon location of ligamentous injury.
Methods: Patients who underwent treatment for MLKI at two level-1 trauma centers were identified between January 2001 and May 2023. Only cases involvingcomplete disruption of the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) were included.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the available level I evidence regarding the impact of tranexamic acid (TXA) on early postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA).
Methods: A systematic review of the literature through April 2023 was performed to identify level I RCTs examining the use of TXA at the time of primary TSA or RTSA.
Results: Among 5 included studies, a total of 435 patients (219 TXA, 216 control) were identified.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between traditional vascular risk factors and cervical artery dissection, particularly focusing on older patients.
- Using data from Medicare beneficiaries, the research identifies several risk factors, including hypertension, alcohol use, and coronary artery disease, that are associated with an increased likelihood of developing cervical artery dissection.
- The findings suggest that older individuals with certain vascular conditions are at a higher risk, indicating the need for further research on these associations.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the outcomes of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and conventional coronary angiography in patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- A meta-analysis of 10 randomized clinical trials involving 6,615 patients showed that IVUS significantly reduced major adverse clinical events (MACE) like cardiac death and stent thrombosis compared to coronary angiography.
- The results indicated no significant difference between the two groups regarding all-cause death and myocardial infarction, highlighting IVUS's potential benefits in improving PCI outcomes.
Aims: Phyllodes tumours and breast sarcomas are uncommon tumours and their rarity poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management. This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the multidisciplinary clinical practice for these tumours across the UK and Ireland, with the aim of identifying gaps in knowledge and providing direction for establishing national guidelines.
Materials And Methods: An international survey was adapted and circulated to breast and/or sarcoma surgeons and oncologists in the UK and Ireland through national organisations.
