CONCLUSION: Despite their similarities in clinical and radiographic presentation, pediatric JE phalangeal fractures are a distinct entity from SH2 fractures. Presenting with significantly more radiographic angulation and clinical instability, JE fractures more frequently required operative fixation compared to SH2 fractures. This distinction is important when determining the treatment strategy ...

The most common elbow fractures that are seen in children are the supracondylar fractures of the humerus that can be managed by both operative and non-operative modalities [1]. Whether a supracondylar fracture can be managed operatively depends on fracture stability, the degree of displacement and the ability to control displacement through traction [2,3]. Operative management is managed initia...

INTRODUCTION The treatment of distal femur fractures has been a controversial topic and it has recently evolved towards indirect reduction and minimally invasive techniques. OBJECTIVE To compare the results of the surgical treatment of distal femur fractures with a plate with screws for condylar compression purposes with the minimally invasive stabilization system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pati...

The aim of this study was to describe initial experience with external thoracic stabilization by the "figure of eight" osteosynthesis in polytraumatized patients with flail chest injury. From January 2002, fifteen patients underwent this surgical procedure at the University Hospital of Rijeka. Their mean age was 52 +/- 13.69 (range 18-65) and mean ISS was 29.8 (range: 20-41). Twelve patients we...

CONTEXT Primary anterior shoulder dislocation is a frequent injury in young active patients. Traditionally, conservative nonoperative primary treatment has been advocated for a majority of first-time dislocators, whereas operative stabilization has been reserved for recurrent dislocators or those involved in strenuous physical activity. Currently, no consensus exists on whether to treat a first...

 Materials and Method: Prospective study was done Neurosurgery department, Prime Teaching Hospital Peshawar from 2018 to 2021. Patients both genders aged between 18 60 years were selected while those unfit surgery or requiring conservative management excluded st...

background: the aim of this prospective, randomized, single-blinded study was to compare the effects of a carbohydrate drink 400 ml given 2 h before the surgery with preoperative overnight fasting on the gastric ph and residual volume, postoperative nausea and vomiting (ponv) and antiemetic consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. materials and methods: forty american so...
