Background: Ankle osteoarthritis affects 1-3 % of all adults. Contemporary evidence is equivocal when comparing the outcomes and complications of TAA and AA. This review aims to compare the complications between TAA and AA to provide surgeons with an additional perspective when managing ESAO.

- Hyaluronidase is the primary treatment for skin necrosis caused by vascular occlusion after hyaluronic acid fillers, but there’s a lack of strong evidence on the best dosages to use.
- A systematic review and pilot meta-analysis of 15 studies found that 77.8% of patients saw complete resolution of scars after treatment, with low doses showing a higher success rate (88.1%) compared to high doses (69.6%), although the difference was not statistically significant.
- The study suggests that future research should focus on providing detailed protocols to create evidence-based guidelines for using hyaluronidase in clinical settings.
Objective: To assess whether enhanced daily weekend physiotherapy (EWP) for patients with hip fracture was associated with improved clinical outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed all previously ambulatory adults admitted with hip fracture to our tertiary hospital, comparing 'usual' ('control') care (09/19-03/20) to EWP (09/20-03/21). Outcomes included Day-7 mobility ≥20 m (primary), additional mobility measures, specified postoperative complications, new residential facility placement, acute length-of-stay (LOS) and 30-day death.
Background: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for high-risk pulmonary embolism (HRPE) with haemodynamic instability or profound cardiogenic shock has been reported. Guidelines currently support the use of ECMO only in patients with cardiac arrest or circulatory collapse and in conjunction with other curative therapies. We aimed to characterise the mortality of adults with HRPE treated with ECMO, identify factors associated with mortality, and compare different adjunct curative therapies.

There is no consensus whether this condition should be admitted to medical or surgical discipline. Timing of presentation may also impact patient outcomes due to differences in healthcare resource availability.
