Hip Fracture Incidence Over Twenty Years in Poland: The HiPoL Study.

Introduction: In the previous report, we noted a significant increase in hip fracture incidence in the local study area. The aim of the study was the continuous observation of hip fracture incidence in the local community over the last 20 years and to estimate their projection for the next 30 years.

Methods: Medical records of the patients aged 50 years and older in the period 2002 - 2021 (local data - area of the district Tarnowskie Góry and the city of Piekary Śląskie) with diagnosis ICD-10: S72.

Correlations between Crawl Kinematics and Speed with Morphologic, Functional, and Anaerobic Parameters in Competitive Swimmers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a unique complex of predictors and 100 m front crawl race kinematics and swimming speed. In 28 male competitive swimmers (age: 19.6 ± 2.

One year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland-the incidence of osteoporotic forearm, arm, and hip fractures.

Unlabelled: The study attempts to analyse whether the COVID-19 pandemic affected the incidence of forearm, arm, and hip fractures during a 1-year observation period. Additionally, changes in the overall treatment costs of those fractures were estimated. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of forearm, arm, and hip fractures remained statistically unchanged, neither were any significant changes observed in the expenditure, incurred for the treatment of the fracture cases.

Body composition and specific and general strength indices as predictors of 100-m front crawl performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of body composition on the anaerobic ability to generate strength and power produced separately by upper and lower limbs during dry-land and in-water (propulsion force) tests. Further examination included the influence of all gathered anaerobic strength indices on the results of 100-m front crawl race.

Methods: The study involved 26 male swimmers (age: 19.

Intermittent hypoxic training improves anaerobic performance in competitive swimmers when implemented into a direct competition mesocycle.

The main objective of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) on anaerobic and aerobic capacity and swimming performance in well-trained swimmers. Sixteen male swimmers were randomly divided into a hypoxia (H) group (n = 8), which trained in a normobaric hypoxia environment, and a control (C) group (n = 8), which exercised under normoxic conditions. However, one participant left the study without explanation.

The 13-year observation of hip fracture in Poland-worrying trend and prognosis for the future.

Introduction: Hip fractures are often considered to be one of the most common osteoporotic fractures. In our previous study, we noted the increasing trend in the total number of hip fractures as well as crude and standardized rates, for both women and men. This observation enabled us to delve deeper into the study of osteoporotic fractures.

Endoscopic therapy of oesophageal strictures in children - a multicentre study.

Introduction: Oesophageal strictures are rare in children but may require endoscopic dilation.

Aim: To gather information on centres performing endoscopic oesophageal dilation in Poland.

Material And Methods: The data were obtained from questionnaires concerning the relevant data mailed to 22 paediatric endoscopy centres.

Do we need orthogeriatrics in Poland? Changes in the age structure and location of hip fractures.

Background: Patients with hip fractures present a great challenge for surgeons due to multimorbidity, polypharmacy as well as difficulty in communicating. These could be attributed to a recent trend in the aging patient population (80 years and older) as compared to the past. The aim of this study is to analyze age structure and location in male and female patients' population with hip fracture over 50.

Radiological Evaluation of Treatment of Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures.

Background: Periprosthetic fracture of the femur is a common complication of total hip replacement surgery. There are several risk factors, including the female gender, an uncemented implant, the use of a straight or revision stem and secondary osteoarthritis. The aim of the study was a radiological evaluation of treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures Material and methods.

Standardized incidence and trend of osteoporotic hip fracture in Polish women and men: a nine year observation.

Background: Osteoporosis and its consequence of low trauma fracture represent a major health burden in aging population, because it results in increased morbidity, mortality and high health care costs. The number of hip fractures worldwide will approximately double by the year 2025 and more than triple by 2050. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and trends of osteoporotic hip fracture in women and men aged over 50 years in polish population.

Risk factors for intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures during the total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture (IPFF) is one of the most frequent complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This complication is a very important factor affecting rehabilitation, hospitalization time and cost of treatment. It may occur during the intramedullary reaming, removal or fixation of the stem The aim of the study was to identify risk factors of IPFF, in order to devise strategies that would minimize incidence of this complication in the future.

The effects of treatment the avascular necrosis of the femoral head with extracorporeal focused shockwave therapy.

Background.Avascular necrosis of the femoral head continues to represent a major challenge for the orthopaedist and trauma surgeon. A fully effective method of treatment is yet to be introduced.

Fracture status in men assessed by quantitative ultrasound measurements at the calcaneus.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess fracture status in men by quantitative ultrasound measurements at the calcaneus. The diagnostic accuracy of quantitative ultrasound measurements was evaluated at baseline and follow-up.

Methods: We observed 165 men (baseline age ± SD, 59.

Suitability of imaging methods (X-ray, CT, MRI) in the diagnostics of Ewing's sarcoma in children - analysis of own material.

Background: Ewing sarcoma is a malignant, small round cell bone tumor, presenting predominantly in children and adolescents. Ewing sarcoma may develop in every bone; diaphyses of long bones, ribs and flat bones are the main locations. Local and systemic clinical symptoms are nonspecific - pain, swelling, fever or ill-being.
