Association of schizophrenia with fracture-related femoral neck displacement: A cross-sectional retrospective study.

Aim: Fracture-related femoral neck displacement is more likely in patients with schizophrenia because of delayed diagnosis, as these patients frequently have less severe fracture-associated subjective symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the association of schizophrenia with the risk of fracture-related femoral neck displacement in hospitalized patients.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with femoral neck fractures treated between April 2013 and March 2018 at a single institution.

Shoulder surface temperature and bone scintigraphy findings in patients with rotator cuff tears.

Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is one of the serious complications after surgical treatment of a rotator cuff tear. Both a measurement of body surface temperature and bone scintigraphy have been used as diagnostic tools for the early phase of CRPS.Unfortunately, few studies have been carried out that applied these methods to the patients after rotator cuff repair.
