Background: The influence of advanced imaging modalities on the reliability of 2018 AO/OTA classification and detection of features contributing to fracture instability have not been adequately studied in the literature.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted to assess the reliability of 2018 AO/OTA classification for trochanteric femoral fractures, and features of instability in 50 patients using radiographs, multiplanar reformats (MPR), and 3D-reconstruction with fracture segmentation (3DR-FS) by 3 observers on 2 occasions at an interval of 4 weeks.
Results: Mean inter-observer reliabilities on radiographs, MPR, 3DR-FS were 0.
Purpose Of Review: Exploration of the potential of serotonergic psychedelic drugs, such as psilocybin and LSD, as potential treatments for headache disorders. This review addresses the need for well-informed physician guidelines and discusses mechanisms, safety, and efficacy of these treatments. Further research, including the consideration of combination with psychotherapy, is needed.
