Background: MRI is increasingly used as a diagnostic tool for sports injuries involving the knees before referral to arthroscopy.
Objectives: Since degenerative changes increase with age, we aimed to evaluate whether age affects the accuracy of MRI.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with knee injury whose evaluation included both MRI and arthroscopy.
Background: Extremities are commonly injured following bomb explosions. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hemorrhagic shock (HS) in victims of explosion suffering from extremity injuries.
Methods: Retrospective study based on a cohort of patient records maintained in one hospital's mass casualty registry.
Femoral versus Multiple Nerve Blocks for Analgesia after Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Rambam Maimonides Med J
January 2017
Background: The PROSPECT (Procedure-Specific Postoperative Pain Management) Group recommended a single injection femoral nerve block in 2008 as a guideline for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty. Other authors have recommended the addition of sciatic and obturator nerve blocks. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is also involved in pain syndrome following total knee arthroplasty.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided brachial plexus blocks using supra- and infraclavicular and axillary approaches for surgical anesthesia below the shoulder, regardless of the patient's body mass index (BMI).
- A total of 101 patients were randomized into three groups for comparison, and the research found no significant differences in anesthesia quality, discomfort, or performance time between the approaches.
- The results indicate that all three block techniques provide similar surgical anesthesia effectiveness, with minor variations in performance time and no major adverse effects noted, apart from a few cases of transient Horner syndrome.
Purpose: Periprosthetic fractures are one of the most serious complications after hip replacement. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of surgical treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures following total hip arthroplasty using treatment algorithm of the Vancouver classification.
Materials And Methods: Fifty six periprosthetic femoral fractures operated on during the period December 2004-September 2013 were followed-up retrospectively.
