Prognostic Value of the CURL Classification System for Proximal Ulna Fracture Dislocations of the Elbow.

Background: Proximal ulna fracture-dislocations comprise a wide spectrum of injury. The Coronoid, proximal Ulna, Radius and Ligaments (CURL) classification is a simple framework designed to aid surgical decision making by focusing attention on the key components of the injury and their relative severity. It has been demonstrated to have a high inter and intra-observer reliability.

Successful spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section in a patient with a dorsal root ganglion stimulation implant: A case report.

Neurostimulation, for example dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS), is increasingly used for managing chronic pain, including among women of reproductive age. We present the case of a 33-year-old patient with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) implanted with DRGS who subsequently became pregnant twice. Both pregnancies resulted in the delivery of healthy newborns via caesarean section under successful spinal anaesthesia, with no (device) complications.

The efficacy of wound catheter infusion with local anesthetics for the treatment of postoperative pain in children: A systematic review.

Wound catheter infusion (WCI) with local anesthetics (LA) is a regional anesthesia technique, which has shown to produce effective postoperative analgesia in adults, without any adverse effects on wound healing. To investigate the efficacy and safety of WCI with LA for the treatment of postoperative pain in children, we conducted a systematic review of literature published until 2020. The literature search included articles concerning subcutaneous WCI with LA, in the surgical wound, as treatment of postoperative pain, in children <18 years of age.

The association between childhood maltreatment and pain sensitivity in a high-risk adolescent population.

The risk of developing chronic pain is twice as high among people with a history of childhood maltreatment compared to those without these experiences. It is unclear, however, whether childhood maltreatment might lead to lower or higher perception of pain. In this paper, we investigate the association between childhood maltreatment and pain sensitivity.
