Literature regarding osteochondral lesions in patients following elbow dislocation is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine osteochondral lesions on MRI in patients following simple elbow dislocations and evaluate inter-rater reliability between radiologists and orthopedic surgeons at different levels of experience. In this retrospective, single-center study, 72 MRIs of patients following simple elbow dislocations were evaluated.

Background: Traumatic hip dislocations are associated with high morbidity and overall limitations of daily living activities. Residual disability inhibits returning to work after severe injuries and minimizes financial independence and social involvement, which are both related to well-being and good health. The aim of this study was to analyze epidemiological and socioeconomic status following traumatic hip dislocations to identify predictors for return to work.

Article Synopsis
- Age-related changes and certain anesthetic procedures can increase fall risk, prompting this study to assess how brachial plexus blockade affects postoperative fall risk in adults aged 60 and older.
- The study involved 40 adults who underwent gait assessments before surgery, within 24 hours after, and two weeks post-surgery, also evaluating balance and cognitive function.
- Findings showed a decline in gait performance immediately post-surgery but improvements back to preoperative levels after two weeks, emphasizing the need to consider increased fall risk shortly after surgery in older adults despite the benefits of brachial plexus blockade.
Hight return-to-sport rate following traumatic spine injury in amateur athletes.
BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil
November 2024
Introduction: Data on the resumption of sporting activity (return-to-sport, RTS) after traumatic spine injuries are mainly available for elite athletes. This study aimed to determine the RTS rate in amateurs after spine injury and to identify factors possibly influencing RTS.
Methods: First, a retrospective analysis of clinical data of patients with traumatic spine injuries receiving inpatient treatment at a national trauma center from 2016 to 2020 was performed.
