Article Synopsis
- The British Orthopaedic Association recommends surgical debridement for pediatric Gustilo-Anderson type I upper limb open fractures, but evidence for its benefits is limited due to low infection rates in these cases.
- A systematic review was conducted, focusing on patients under 18 with type I fractures treated either with antibiotics alone or surgical debridement, excluding those requiring stabilization.
- Results showed that both treatment methods had low infection rates (0.3% for non-operative and 0.4% for operative), indicating that surgical debridement may not be necessary, and treatment should be tailored based on individual patient factors.

Lung cancer is the world's leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one of the critical oncogenes and plays a significant role in tumor proliferation and metastasis. Patients with sensitizing mutations in the EGFR gene have better clinical outcomes when treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).

We aim to describe the clinical characteristics and nosocomial infection rates in major trauma and orthopaedic patients comparing the first and second wave of COVID-19 infection.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected trauma database was reviewed at a level 1 major trauma centre from 1 December 2020 to 18 February 2021 looking at demographics, clinical characteristics, and nosocomial infections and compared to our previously published first wave data (26 January 2020 to 14 April 2020).
Introduction The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitated a change in the manner outpatient fracture clinics are conducted due to the need to reduce footfall in hospitals. While studies regarding virtual fracture clinics have shown these to be useful and effective, they focus exclusively on remote consultations. However, our service was bespoke to the patient - either a face-to-face, a telephone consultation or both, depending on patient need - a 'hybrid virtual fracture clinic' (HVFC).
