This cross-sectional study, conducted from July 2023 to January 2024, examines injury patterns and associated risk factors among Krav Maga athletes to develop tailored prevention strategies for this unique martial art. A survey of 109 participants revealed that 65 injuries were reported, with 59.6% caused by actions from another individual and 24.

Displaced femoral neck fractures were treated historically with hemiarthroplasty, but the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasing showing superior long-term results.
Objectives: To assess whether THA has superior short-term results compared to bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures.
Purpose: This randomized controlled trial aimed to ascertain the effect of a pre-procedure informational video on anxiety, pain perception, and satisfaction levels in patients undergoing amniocentesis.
Methods: Patients were randomized into two groups: a video group who watched an informational video prior to the procedure, and a control group who received standard care. Anxiety was gauged both pre- and post-procedure via the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score.
Article Synopsis
- The financial impact of implant choice during hip fracture surgeries led by inexperienced surgeons is significant, with instances of suboptimal implant utilization occurring in 16.18% of procedures.
- The mean additional cost for surgeries with suboptimal choices was USD 65.69 compared to USD 56.55 for optimal choices, indicating a minimal financial burden.
- Seniority and patient characteristics did not affect the rate of suboptimal implant use, suggesting that residents can perform surgeries independently with minor additional costs.
