Understanding the quality-of-life experiences of older or frail adults following a new dens fracture: Nonsurgical management in a hard collar versus early removal of collar.

Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Introduction: In the United Kingdom, fractures of the cervical dens process in older and/or frail patients are usually managed nonsurgically in a hard collar. However, hard collars can lead to complications and this management approach is now being questioned, with growing interest in maximising patients' short-term quality-of-life. It is vital that patients' perspectives are considered; yet, there is a dearth of literature examining the aspect.

R&D Department, SILAB, Brive-la-Gaillarde, France.
Background: Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is an imaging technique providing non-invasive "optical biopsies" with an isotropic spatial resolution of ∼1 μm and deep penetration until the dermis. Analysis of obtained images is classically performed by experts, thus requiring long and fastidious training and giving operator-dependent results. In this study, the objective was to develop a new automated method to score the quality of the dermal matrix precisely, quickly, and directly from in vivo LC-OCT images.
