Article Synopsis
- * Out of 112 respondents, which included both surgeons and hand therapists, the study found significant variability in surgical decision-making and imaging practices, with most centers favoring ligament reconstruction using a bone anchor.
- * Findings suggest that there is inconsistency in the treatment approaches for UCL ruptures and a strong interest among medical professionals for future clinical trials to standardize management practices.
Dynamic Radiographs in Assessing Stability of Cervical Spine Fractures: A Multicentre Study.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
October 2022
Background: In the management of a trauma patient with cervical spine injury, the need for accurate diagnostic imaging is key to ensure correct management. Different classification systems have been developed including the Subaxial Injury Classification (SLIC) system and AO cervical spine fracture classification. Through a multicentre study, we have identified a group of cases where the use of CT alone to classify fractures by either SLIC or AO score may be deficient and the use of dynamic cervical spine radiographs could help identify instability.
