Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the reliability of three different methods for measuring carpal height in wrist radiographs, focusing on inter and intraobserver consistency.
- 179 wrist radiographs were evaluated independently by two observers, with measurements taken one month apart to ensure reliability.
- Results showed that all methods were highly reproducible, with the carpal height (CH) and revised carpal height (RCH) ratios demonstrating similar and better interobserver reliability compared to the capitate-radius (CR) index, although no statistical differences were found overall.
Introduction: Hip fracture is very common in advanced ages, and it is very likely that this condition is accompanied by nutritional deficiencies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on postoperative mortality in geriatric patients who underwent hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture.
Materials And Methods: Geriatric patients (aged ≥ 70 years) who underwent hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture were prospectively recruited.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the biomechanical stability of two techniques for fixing pediatric supracondylar femur fractures using Kirschner wires (K-wires), focusing on retrograde versus antegrade methods.
- In an experiment with 24 synthetic bone models, the retrograde group exhibited significantly greater strength against varus forces, while both groups showed similar stability in extension strength.
- The findings suggest that while retrograde fixation is better for preventing varus deformities, antegrade fixation may be preferred to lower the risk of septic arthritis post-surgery.
