Article Synopsis
- - Stress fractures occur due to repeated low-level stress and insufficient recovery time, commonly affecting the foot and ankle, particularly in athletes and military personnel.
- - Factors contributing to stress fractures include a sudden increase in repetitive activities, muscle fatigue, poor training techniques, and decreased bone density, with the female athlete triad also increasing risk.
- - Symptoms typically involve vague pain that worsens with activity, with diagnosis often confirmed via MRI or CT scans, and management varies based on the fracture's location, with many low-risk fractures healing through activity modification.

Methods: The Ilizarov frame database was used to identify 76 skeletally mature patients who sustained an isolated, closed, extra-articular, simple, diaphyseal Tibial fracture; the injury also known as a "nail-able Tibial fracture."
Results: The average age of the patient was 38 (17-70).
Introduction: The increased use of diagnostic laparoscopy for management of right iliac fossa pain may have lowered the threshold for removing normal appendices, particularly as there is a perception that this practice carries little additional morbidity. The aim of this retrospective audit was to determine the negative appendicectomy rate after laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA) in our busy district hospital, and to compare the relative incidence and severity of complications after removal of an inflamed or non-inflamed appendix.
Methods: Adult patients who underwent LA in 2011-2012 were identified from theatre registers.
Background: Reports of direct comparisons between operative techniques for anal fissure are variable in their results. These reports are either subject to selection bias (in non-randomized studies) or observer bias (in all studies) or have inadequate numbers of patients enrolled to answer the question of efficacy.
Objectives: To determine the best technique for fissure surgery.
