Continuous Compartment Pressure Monitoring Allows the Early Detection of Compartment Syndrome After Arterial Revascularization.

Compartment syndrome (CS) occurs in several clinical scenarios. Reperfusion injury and tissue swelling are common causes. This can occur after trauma but also is seen post revascularization of extremities.

Predictors of Episode-of-Care Costs for Ankle Fractures.

Ankle fractures are one of the most resource-consuming traumatic orthopedic injuries. Few studies have successfully evaluated the episode-of-care costs (EOCC) of common traumatic orthopedic injuries. The objective of this study was to determine the EOCC associated with the surgical management of ankle fractures.

Hospital episode-of-care costs for hip fractures: an activity-based costing analysis.

Background: Despite the large impact of hip fracture care on hospital budgets, accurate episode-of-care costs (EOCC) calculations for this injury remains a challenge. The objective of this article was to assess EOCC for geriatric patients with hip fractures using an activity-based costing methodology and identify intraoperative, perioperative, and patient-specific factors associated with higher EOCC.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study involving a total of 109 consecutive patients with hip fracture treated surgically at a Canadian level-1 trauma center from April 2018 to February 2019.

Novel digital continuous sensor for monitoring of compartment pressure: a case report.

Case: The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has recently identified continuous intracompartmental pressure monitoring as 1 of the few means to assist in ruling out acute compartment syndrome (ACS). There are very few methods that allow this measurement. This manuscript describes the use of a new digital monitoring system for ACS in 3 patients.

A Meta-analysis Comparing External Fixation against Open Reduction and Internal Fixation for the Management of Tibial Plateau Fractures.

Aim: This article aims to compare the outcomes between open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and external fixation (ExFix) in tibial plateau fractures.

Background: Open reduction and internal fixation and external fixation are common methods for managing tibial plateau fractures without a consensus of choice.

Materials And Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ovid, CINAHL®, Scopus, and Embase were searched.
