Association of socioeconomic status and physical therapy compliance after arthroscopic shoulder labrum repair.

Background: Socioeconomic status has been shown to impact a patient's access to orthopedic care, but outcomes such as compliance with physical therapy and time to return to full activities has not been established. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of socioeconomic status on physical therapy compliance and return to play time specifically in patients with shoulder instability. The area deprivation index (ADI) is a validated tool using factors from the US Census that measures socioeconomic deprivation in neighborhoods.

Club Foot with Contralateral Congenital Amniotic Band Syndrome Amputation Successfully Treated with Ponseti Method: Case Report.

Introduction: Constriction amniotic band syndrome (CABS) is a rare condition associated with the fibrous amniotic bands that restrict and ensnare the fetus in utero resulting in malformations at birth in one per around 15,000 live births. CABS associated with clubfoot, historically required extensive soft-tissue release due to its propensity for relapse.

Case Report: A 2-day-old Caucasian male infant born at 27 weeks gestation through emergency cesarean section due to concern for placental abruption and premature rupture of membranes in the setting of a prenatal history significant for oligohydramnios.

Physeal Growth Arrest in Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report.

Introduction: Distal radius fractures account for nearly one-third of all pediatric fractures, making it among the most common of all pediatric fractures. Studies report that distal radius physeal arrest rates following trauma to the distal radius seem to occur in only about 5% of patients. Significant ulnar variance can develop leading to notable pain and limitations in function.

Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients Who Have Skeletal Dysplasia: A Center's Experience With a Mean 9-Year Follow-Up.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients who have skeletal dysplasia (SD) is a technically challenging surgery due to deformity, joint contracture, and associated comorbidities. Patients presenting with this condition have traditionally been treated with conservative measures, leading to poor outcomes. The aim of this study was to follow-up on patients who had SD following TKA, specifically with regards to clinical outcomes.

Managing periprosthetic fractures - a review of the hub and spoke model.

Introduction: Periprosthetic fractures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The "hub and spoke model" consists of a central organisation (the hub) and a series of secondary units (the spokes). This study reviews the presentation, management, and outcomes of periprosthetic fractures at a large general district hospital, the Royal Blackburn Hospital.

Fractured Neck of Femur Management at a District General Hospital: Adherence to NICE guidelines CG124 for total hip replacement.

Introduction: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2011 declared standards in the management of fracture neck of femur (NOF) patients suggesting a total hip replacement (THR) if necessary criteria were met. The Best Practice Tariff (BPT) states all NOF fracture patients should be operated on within 36 h of presentation to Accident & Emergency. We conducted this retrospective study for the years 2016-2018 to evaluate the adherence to these guidelines by Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital and compared the results with national standards.

Radiological Outcomes of Distal Radius Fractures Managed with 2.7mm Volar Locking Plate Fixation-A Retrospective Analysis.

Introduction: Distal radius fractures accounts for around 15% of all fractures diagnosed and treated in the emergency rooms. These fractures usually result secondary to high velocity injury such as a motor vehicle accident or fall on an out stretched hand. In the elderly, it is a common fragility fracture.

Treatment of infected non-unions with segmental defects with a rail fixation system.

We conducted this study to evaluate the use of rail fixation system in infected gap non-union of femur and tibia as an alternative to the established Ilizarov circular fixator technique. Prospective study. The study was done in the Department of Orthopaedic surgery in a medical school and level I trauma center to which the authors are/were affiliated.

Ligamentous Reconstruction of Traumatic Dislocation of Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Thumb carpometacarpal dislocation is a rare injury with many treatment options described in literature.

Case Description: A 47-year-old male patient presented to hospital with an isolated dorsal dislocation of the thumb carpometacarpal joint. Closed reduction of the dislocation could be easily done but joint was grossly unstable and redislocated.

A rare case of segmental clavicle fracture in an adolescent.

Clavicular fractures commonly occur in adults and children. The usual mechanism of injury is a fall on the outstretched hand or direct trauma. The usual site of these fractures is the mid clavicle with lateral end and medial end clavicular fractures being less common, respectively.

Kienbock's Disease treated with Interposition Arthroplasty using Ipsilateral Palmaris Longus Tendon and Muscle Belly.

Introduction: Kienbock's disease is an osteonecrosis of lunate bone (lunatomalacia) seen more commonly in males in the second to fourth decade of life. The exact etiology is unknown and symptoms include wrist pain and stiffness of wrist. Advanced stages of disease may require lunate excision and filling of the void by various substitutes like silicone implants, tendon grafts etc.
