Effects of Ulnar Styloid Fractures on Unstable Distal Radius Fracture Outcomes: A Systematic Review of Comparative Studies.

 In this literature review, functional outcomes such as Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score and the visual analog scale (VAS) of pain along with clinical outcomes such as range of movement and grip strength of treated distal radius fractures (DRF) accompanied with ulnar styloid fractures (USF) will be compared with those with isolated DRF.  We analyzed articles from MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL that met our predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis statements. This resulted in the identification of 464 articles with 18 potentially eligible studies of which 6 were included at the full-text screening stage.

Wii knee revisited: meniscal injury from 10-pin bowling.

The present report concerns a 23-year-old woman who sustained an injury to her right knee while playing 10-pin bowling on a Nintendo Wii video game console. She presented to our orthopaedic outpatients clinic 3 months later with history and examination findings suggestive of a medial meniscal tear, which was confirmed by MRI scan. She underwent arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy and made an uneventful recovery.

The Fish Hook Technique of extracting broken intramedullary nails.

Removal of hardware in orthopaedic surgery is usually encountered in revision fracture surgery for non union, mal union, infection and peri-implant failure. If the hardware has broken this can make revision surgery even more demanding. Numerous techniques have been described to facilitate implant removal.

The risks of splash injury when using power tools during orthopaedic surgery: a prospective study.

Transmissible blood-borne infection can occur at muco-cutaneous membranes. During trauma and orthopaedic surgery, the use of power tools increases spraying of bodily fluid, hence resulting in an increased risk of infectious splash injury to the face. This prospective study involved 25 patients.
