Influence of urinary tract infections on the incidence of surgical site infections following hip fracture surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The prevalence of surgical site infections (SSIs) following hip fracture surgery poses a substantial challenge, compounding patient morbidity and healthcare costs. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate the potential correlation between perioperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the subsequent risk of SSIs, aiming to illuminate the impact of UTIs on postoperative outcomes in this vulnerable population. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, utilising the PICO framework to define our search strategy across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library.

Comparative effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group block versus fascia iliac compartment block on postoperative wound pain management in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Hip fracture surgeries are challenging, with postoperative pain management being a critical component of patient care. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effectiveness of Pericapsular nerve group block (PENGB) and fascia iliac compartment block (FICB) in postoperative wound pain management for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The study followed the PRISMA guidelines and was structured around the PICO framework.

A novel hybrid fixation (coracoclavicular screw supplemented with K-wire) for the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation: A prospective study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of clavicular hook plate fixation and the coracoclavicular lag screw supplemented with K-wire fixation in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

Methods: Between January 2012 to December 2015, 81 patients with acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation were included in this prospective study. 43 patients were treated with clavicular hook plate fixation (Group A) and 38 patients were treated with coracoclavicular lag screw supplemented with K-wire fixation (Group B).

[The causes and preventive methods of misdiagnosis on wrist scaphoid bone fracture].

Objective: To retrospectively analysis the curative effect of wrist scaphoid bone fracture,and explore the causes and preventive methods of misdiagnosis.

Methods: From September 2007 to September 2010,16 patients with wrist scaphoid bone fractures were treated with plaster cast and cannulated screws fixation. There were 10 males and 6 females,ranging in age from 26 to 44 years with an average of 35 years.

[Application of endobutton in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation].

Objective: To study the clinical efficacy of the endobutton in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation by reconstructing coracoclavicular ligaments.

Methods: From October 2008 to January 2010,12 patients with acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation were immobilized with the endobutton. All the patients had the dislocations of or above type III according to Rockwood classification.
