A parry fracture is an isolated fracture of the ulnar shaft. It occurs when the ulna receives the full force of an impact when the forearm is raised to protect the face. The aim of this study is to assess a possible association between a parry fracture and the probability of abuse in children.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcromioclavicular dislocation combined with a midshaft clavicle fracture is a rare traumatic shoulder problem. Various treatment options have been described in literature. We describe a new technique using a hook plate and coracoclavicular sling to replace the ruptured coracoclavicular ligaments in combination with plate osteosynthesis of the clavicle fracture.

- The study compares a newly developed early permissive weight bearing rehabilitation protocol for post-surgery patients with lower extremity fractures to the standard non-weight bearing guidelines.
- It is a multicenter prospective cohort study that will follow patients with surgical fractures in the pelvis/acetabulum or lower extremities over 6 months, with measurements taken at various intervals.
- The primary outcome measure is the Lower Extremity Functional Scale, with additional data on compliance using an insole pressure system, aiming to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the permissive weight bearing approach.
Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is increasingly used in chest trauma for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In this report we describe our single-institutional experience with VATS in the surgical treatment of patients with flail chest after high-energy trauma.
Methods: From January 2013 to July 2014, 15 patients with flail chest after high-energy trauma were treated in our hospital.
Introduction: The use of a multidisciplinary clinical pathway (MCP) for patients with hip fracture tends to be more effective than usual care (UC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an MCP approach on time to surgery, length of stay, postoperative complications, and 30-day mortality, compared to UC.
Materials And Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included patients aged 50 years or older with a proximal hip fracture who underwent surgery in one of the 6 hospitals in the Limburg trauma region of the Netherlands in 2012.
