Tracking pressure injuries as adverse events: National use of the Global Trigger Tool over a 4-year period.

Aim: To examine the frequency, preventability, and consequences of hospital acquired pressure injuries in acute care hospitals over a 4-year period.

Method: A retrospective record review was performed using the Swedish version of the Global Trigger Tool (GTT). A total of 64 917 hospital admissions were reviewed.

The value of ultrasonography in the preoperative diagnostic evaluation of patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation: a prospective study of 44 patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of ultrasonography in the pre-operative assessment of patients with recurrent post-traumatic, anterior shoulder instability. Forty-four consecutive patients, 44 men and 12 women, with unilateral, post-traumatic, recurrent instability of the shoulder were included in the study. One experienced radiologist examined all patients, using a 5.

Longitudinal Split of the Peroneus Brevis Tendon and Lateral Ankle Instability: Treatment of Concomitant Lesions.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical picture, pathophysiology, and treatment of concomitant lesions of the peroneus brevis tendon and lateral ligament injuries to the ankle. BACKGROUND: In some cases, chronic lateral ankle instability is associated with a longitudinal partial tear in the peroneus brevis tendon. Patients who suffer from this lesion usually have atypical posterolateral ankle pain combined with signs of recurrent ligament instability ("giving way").

Wound closure by dermatotraction after fasciotomy for acute compartment syndrome.

Intramuscular pressure (IMP) was measured in 16 patients during secondary wound closure by dermatotraction with external tissue extension (ETE). Secondary wound closure was done 4-16 days after fasciotomy for acute compartment syndrome. The traction between wound edges was 2.

The effects of limb elevation and increased intramuscular pressure on nerve and muscle function in the human leg.

In this study we investigated the effects of increased intramuscular pressure (IMP) on nerve and muscle function in the leg and foot. In study A, muscle pressure was increased by inducing venous stasis in both legs, placed in plaster casts, of eight healthy subjects having a mean age of 29 years. The results from elevated and non-elevated limbs were compared.
