The February 2015 Research Roundup360 looks at: Markers of
The April 2014 Foot &
Ankle Roundup360 looks at: Hawkins fractures revisited; arthrodesis compared with ankle replacement in osteoarthritis; mobile bearing ankle replacement successful in the longer-term; osteolysis is an increasing worry in ankle replacement; ankle synostosis post-fracture is not important; radiofrequency ablation for plantar fasciitis; and the right approach for tibiotalocalcaneal fusion.
The June 2015 Trauma Roundup360 looks at: HIV-related implant surgery in trauma; Major transfusion under the spotlight; Surgery and mortality in elderly acetabular fractures; Traction pin safety; Obesity and trauma; Salvage of acetabular fixation in the longer term
The October 2014 Trauma Roundup360 looks at: proximal humeral fractures in children; quadrilateral surface plates in transverse acetabular fractures; sleep deprivation and poor outcomes in trauma; bipolar hemiarthroplasty; skeletal traction; forefoot fractures; telemedicine in trauma; ketamine infusion for orthopaedic injuries; and improved functional outcomes seen with trauma networks.
The April 2014 Knee Roundup360 looks at: mobile compression as good as chemical thromboprophylaxis; patellar injury with MIS knee surgery; tibial plateau fracture results not as good as we thought; back and knee pain; metaphyseal sleeves may be the answer in revision knee replacement; oral tranexamic acid; gentamycin alone in antibiotic spacers; and whether the jury is still out on unloader braces.
The April 2014 Trauma Roundup360 looks at: is it safe to primarily close dog bite wounds?; conservative transfusion evidence based in hip fracture surgery; tibial nonunion is devastating to quality of life; sexual dysfunction after traumatic pelvic fracture; hemiarthroplasty versus fixation in displaced femoral neck fractures; silver VAC dressings “Gold Standard” in massive wounds; dual plating for talar neck fracture; syndesmosis and fibular length easiest errors in ankle fracture surgery; and dual mobility: stable as a rock in fracture.
The February 2014 Foot &
Ankle Roundup360 looks at: optimal medial malleolar fixation; resurfacing in the talus; predicting outcome in mobility ankles; whether mal-aligned ankles can be successfully replaced; cartilage colonisation in bipolar ankle grafts; CTs and proof of fusion; recalcitrant Achilles tendinopathy; and recurrent fifth metatarsal stress fractures.
This is the second of a series of reviews of registries. This review looks specifically at worldwide registry data that have been collected on knee arthroplasty, what we have learned from their reports, and what the limitations are as to what we currently know.
The August 2012 Wrist &
Hand Roundup360 looks at: the Herbert ulnar head prosthesis; the five-year outcome for wrist arthroscopic surgery; four-corner arthrodesis with headless screws; balloon kyphoplasty for Kienböck's disease; Mason Type 2 radial head fractures; local infiltration and intravenous regional anaesthesia for endoscopic carpal tunnel release; perilunate injuries; and replanting the amputated fingertip.
The June 2012 Wrist &
Hand Roundup360 looks at; radial osteotomy and advanced Kienböck's disease; fixing the Bennett fracture; PEEK plates and four-corner arthrodesis,;carpal tunnel release and haemodialysis; degloved digits and the reverse radial forearm flap; occupational hand injuries; trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis; fixing the fractured metacarpal neck and pyrocarbon implants for the destroyed PIPJ.
