Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Paediatric Forearm Fractures of the Radius and Ulna Following Fixation by Intramedullary Nailing or Plating: A Systematic Review.

Ipsilateral forearm fractures of both the radius and ulna in children are one of the most common forms of injuries in this population. They often result from axial loading on the hand and wrist following a fall on an outstretched hand. These injuries can often be managed either conservatively or operatively.

Functional Outcomes of Dorsal Bridge Plating for Lisfranc Injuries With Routine Implant Retention: A Major Trauma Center Experience.

Objectives: To assess medium-term functional outcomes and the complication profile for unstable Lisfranc injuries treated with dorsal bridge plate (DBP) fixation when implants are not routinely removed.

Design: Large single-center retrospective case series.

Setting: Level-1 Trauma Center, London, United Kingdom.

The Management of Cervical Spine Injuries - A Literature Review.

Due to the inherent bony instability of the cervical spine, there is an over-reliance on ligamentous structures for stability, making this segment of the vertebral column most prone to traumatic injuries. The frequently occurring mechanisms of injury include axial compression, hyper-flexion, hyper-extension, and rotational type injuries. Good pre-hospital care and a thorough assessment in the emergency department of patients suspected to have a cervical spine injury (CSI) leads to improved clinical outcomes.

Clinical Audit as a Quality Improvement Tool in Measurements of Lying and Standing Blood Pressure for Elderly Patients Admitted With a Hip Fracture.

Background: Around one in three adults aged 65 years and over will have a fall at home within a one-year period. Falls are estimated to cost the NHS more than £2.3 billion per year.
