Flexible intramedullary nails: the panacea for paediatric femoral shaft fractures
Not many years ago the use of traction and application of hip spica cast were standard treatments for all femoral shaft fractures in children. 2 However, the management of femoral shaft fractures in children above the age of five years has tilted more towards an operative option in the last two decades attributed to low incidence of malunion, short hospital stays, cost effectiveness and early a...
متن کاملThe treatment of unstable metacarpal and phalangeal shaft fractures with flexible nonlocking and locking intramedullary nails.
Metacarpal and phalangeal shaft fracture fixation can be achieved by closed IM nailing. This technique provides sufficient stability to commence early unsupported joint motion and minimize soft-tissue irritation and scar formation. Stability is enhanced by proximal nail locking; a measure that extends the indications to spiral and comminuted fractures. The surgical technique is simple but requi...
متن کاملTo age or not to age--what is the question?
Over the past 50 years, a generally accepted theory about the evolution of aging has been developed. One common conclusion that has been deduced from this theory is that aging is inevitable in organisms in which there is a difference between offspring and parents. A recent paper by Sozou and Seymour questions this prediction using a mathematical model, but it remains to be seen whether their ne...
متن کاملFlexible Intramedullary Titanium Elastic Nailing of Fracture Shaft of Radius and Ulna in Children at a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital
Being so complex and important in relation to function of the upper extremity, injuries of the forearm can result in potentially hazardous consequences. There is no doubt that forearm shaft fractures are potentially harmful and challenging to manage [1]. Displaced fractures of the forearm shaft in children can be reduced and can still be managed with cast, but there is a relatively high inciden...
متن کاملP-value: What is and what is not
The misinterpretation and misuse of p-value have been increasing for decades. In March 2016, the American Statistical Association released a statement to warn about the use and interpretation of p-value. In this study, we provided a definition and discussion of p-value and emphasized the importance of its accurate interpretation.
