Proximal femoral nail antirotation in treatment of fractures of proximal femur.

Introduction: Fractures of the proximal femur and hip are relatively common injuries in adults and common source of morbidity and mortality among the elderly. Many methods have been recommended for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures.

Material And Methods: We retrospective analyzed all the patients with fractures of the hip treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) at the Clinic of Orthopedic and Traumatology, University Clinical Centre Tuzla from the first of January 2012 to 31 December 2012 years.

Complications and functional recovery in treatment of femoral shaft fractures with unreamed intramedullary nailing.

Introduction: Fracture of the femoral shaft is a common fracture encountered in orthopedic practice. In the 1939, Küntscher introduced the concept of intramedullary nailing for stabilization of long bone fractures. Intramedullary nailing has revolutionized the treatment of fractures.

Correlation between Bauman's and carrying angle in children with supracondylar fracture of humerus.

Unlabelled: Supracondylar fractures are the result of a fall on outstretched hand in more than 70% of cases, and more common in the non-dominant arm. Bauman's angle is used to determine the degree of displacement and angulation, and the quality of fracture reduction. Carrying angle is the clinical parameter ofvarus-valgus angulation with elbow fully extended and forearm completely supinated.

Assessment of depth of anesthesia: PRST score versus bispectral index.

Unlabelled: Assessment of depth of anesthesia is the basis in anesthesiologists work because the occurrence of awareness during general anesthesia is important due to stress, which is caused in the patient at that moment, and due to complications that may arise later. There are subjective and objective methods used to estimate the depth of anesthesia. The aim of this study was to assess the depth of anesthesia based on clinical parameters and on the basis bispectral index, and determine the part of bispectral monitoring in support to clinical assessment.
