Open and arthroscopic hip debridement may be used for treatment of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI). There is a paucity of evidence regarding the efficacy of one over the other. To compare survivorship in terms of further surgical procedure at five years, in patients having undergone either arthroscopic or open hip debridement.Introduction
Aim
Elective surgery has been severely curtailed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is little evidence to guide surgeons in assessing what processes should be put in place to restart elective surgery safely in a time of endemic COVID-19 in the community. We used data from a stand-alone hospital admitting and operating on 91 trauma patients. All patients were screened on admission and 100% of patients have been followed-up after discharge to assess outcome.Aims
Methods
Smartphone applications have a great scope for revolutionising the medical field and are becoming increasingly utilised in clinical practice. They are advantageous as they are timesaving and readily available at the touch of a button. We reviewed all the T&O clinically relevant applications available for doctors on Apple's ‘App Store’. A search was performed using the following terms: Trauma, Orthopaedics, Ortho, Musculoskeletal and Fracture. Applications that were in any language other than English were excluded. The applications were subsequently categorised into: ‘clinical’, ‘learning and reference’, ‘hospital guidelines’ and ‘patient education’.Aim
