Article Synopsis
- This systematic review examines how radiographs and different imaging techniques (2D and 3D) affect the agreement among doctors when classifying tibial plateau fractures using six common classification systems.
- Fourteen studies were analyzed, revealing that 2D CT improved agreement in one case, but overall, the effectiveness varied widely, while 3D CT sometimes decreased agreement for the Schatzker classification.
- The findings suggest that 2D CT is beneficial for certain classifications, while the role of 3D CT remains unclear, leading to the conclusion that it is not recommended for classifying these fractures.
Background: The femoral nerve block (FNB) may be used for analgesia in hip fracture surgery. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a novel regional technique and may provide better pain reduction while preserving motor function, but these blocks have not been directly compared.
Methods: In a single-center double-blinded randomized comparative trial, patients presenting for hip fracture surgery received analgesia with either FNB or PENG block.
Background: Fractures of the distal forearm and distal radius represent the most common types of fracture in the pediatric population, with the majority treated by closed reduction and cast. Redisplacement has been known to occur in up to 39% of cases. There have been numerous risk factors and radiologic indices put forward as methods of predicting redisplacement, but this topic remains a matter of debate.
