Aims. We introduced a self-care pathway for minimally displaced

Aims. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ experience of their child’s recovery, and their thoughts about their decision to enrol their child in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of surgery versus non-surgical casting for a displaced
Aims. Fractures of the distal radius are common, and form a considerable proportion of the trauma workload. We conducted a study to examine the patterns of injury and treatment for adult patients presenting with
Aims. The purpose was to compare operative treatment with a volar plate and nonoperative treatment of displaced
Aims. The aim of this study was to explore clinicians’ experience of a paediatric randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing surgical reduction with non-surgical casting for displaced

Aims. We hypothesized that the wide-awake local anaesthesia with no tourniquet (WALANT) technique is cost-effective, easy to use, safe, and reproducible, with a low learning curve towards mastery, having a high patient satisfaction rate. Furthermore, WALANT would be a suitable alternative for the austere and developing nation environments where lack of funds and resources are a common issue. Methods. This was a randomized control trial of 169 patients who required surgery for closed isolated
Introduction and Objective. Wide awake local anaesthetic no tourniquet (WALANT) is being used for a wide variety of hand and wrist surgery. It has recently been used in
This study investigated the time lost from work following a

Radius fracture is the earliest and one of the most common symptoms of osteoporosisò1/6 of fractures seen in the emergency roomòand many patients with
Summary. Practitioners should maintain a high suspicion of concurrent carpal fractures in patients who present with a
Aim. Up to 34% of fractures of the distal radius in children can ‘re-displace’ early after reduction. Main risk factors are initial displacement (bayonet apposition, > 50% translation, and > 30°angulation), isolated
Purpose: The immature skeleton demonstrates a remarkable capacity for correcting residual deformations after fracture. Classically, a residual angle of less than 25° can be tolerated for
To assess the efficacy of percutaneous K wiring in the treatment of
