Evaluate the outcome and complications of anterior pubic symphysis plating in the stabilisation of traumatic anterior pelvic ring injuries. All patients who underwent pubic symphysis plating in a tertiary referral unit were studied. Fracture classification, type of fixation, complications, and incidence of metalwork failure were recorded.Aim
Methods
Mortality rates following hip fracture are high. There are several scoring systems which aim to predict morbidity and mortality in hospital in-patients. The Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) was devised to predict 30 day mortality following hip fracture. All patients with hip fractures admitted over a 6 month period were reviewed. The NHFS was calculated for each patient and any associations between patient factors, NHFS, and outcome were investigated.Introduction
