Risk factors for tibial infections following osteosynthesis - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: This study aimed to quantitatively summarise risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) following surgically managed tibial fractures.

Method: We searched the Embase/Medline, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases for relevant studies in October 2023. We included original studies investigating risk factors for SSI following surgically managed traumatic tibial fractures that included ≥10 adult patients with SSIs.

Translation and validation of the Hirschsprung and anorectal malformation quality of life (HAQL) questionnaire in a Danish Hirschsprung population.

Background: Hirschsprung's disease (HD) may result in an impaired quality of life (QoL) due to bowel problems, postoperative complications and other health-related issues. The Hirschsprung and Anorectal Malformation Quality of Life (HAQL) questionnaire is a disease-specific instrument developed in the Netherlands to measure the QoL in patients with HD and anorectal malformations. The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate HAQL in a Danish Hirschsprung population.

Early versus late weight-bearing in operatively treated ankle fractures with syndesmotic injury: A systematic review.

Background: Over the past 30 years, several studies have compared early weight-bearing versus late weight-bearing following open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fractures; however, no review strictly including patients with ankle fractures and complete syndesmotic disruption has been performed.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review was to compare early versus late weight-bearing following surgery for ankle fracture with syndesmotic injury regarding clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was applied to the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and PubMed databases from their inception to the 17th of January 2022.

Changes in the incidence and treatment of distal radius fractures in adults - a 22-year nationwide register study of 276,145 fractures.

Introduction: The incidence of distal radius fractures (DRFs) is reported, with conflicting results. To ensure evidence-based practice, the variation in treatment over time should be monitored. Treatment in the elderly population is particularly interesting because newer guidelines find little indication for surgery.

Translation and cultural adaption of the emergency department-consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems (ED CAPHS)-A questionnaire to measure patient experience in Denmark.

Aim: The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt The Emergency Department-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (ED CAPHS) to the Danish ED context.

Background: In Denmark, a large number of patients attend emergency departments (ED) every year. During their ED visits, examinations, tests and encounters with different healthcare professionals occur frequently.

Risk factors for nonunion following surgically managed, traumatic, diaphyseal fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There are several studies on nonunion, but there are no systematic overviews of the current evidence of risk factors for nonunion. The aim of this study was to systematically review risk factors for nonunion following surgically managed, traumatic, diaphyseal fractures.

Methods: Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane were searched using a search string developed with aid from a scientific librarian.

Quantification of ICG fluorescence for the evaluation of intestinal perfusion: comparison between two software-based algorithms for quantification.

Background: Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) can be used to evaluate intestinal perfusion prior to anastomosis. Several software for the quantification of fluorescence have emerged, but these have not previously been compared. The aim of this study was to compare the results from quantitative ICG-FI analysis of relative perfusion in an experimental setting using two different software-based quantification algorithms (FLER and Q-ICG).

Remote computer-assisted analysis of ICG fluorescence signal for evaluation of small intestinal anastomotic perfusion: a blinded, randomized, experimental trial.

Background: Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) may be used to visualize intestinal perfusion prior to anastomosis. Methods for quantification of the fluorescence signal are required to ensure an objective evaluation. The aim of this study was to evaluate a method for quantification of relative perfusion and to investigate the correlation between the perfusion level and the anastomotic strength.

Clear cell sarcoma-A review.

Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) previously known as malignant melanoma (MM) of the soft tissue, although, similar in morphology to MM, contemporary histopathologic and cytogenetic techniques have made this diagnosis obsolete, as it is now possible to distinguish between CCS and MM. CCS is often diagnosed in young adults with median age of 25 years. Overall mortality is generally poor, and the 5-year survival is between 40 and 60%.
