Objectives. Healing in cancellous metaphyseal bone might be different from
midshaft fracture healing due to different access to mesenchymal
stem cells, and because metaphyseal bone often heals without a cartilaginous
phase. Inflammation plays an important role in the healing of a
shaft
Aims. The authors present the results of a cohort study of 60 adult
patients presenting sequentially over a period of 15 years from
1997 to 2012 to our hospital for treatment of thoracic and/or lumbar

The aim of this study was first, to determine
whether CT scans undertaken to identify serious injury to the viscera were
of use in detecting clinically unrecognised
In this retrospective cohort study, we analysed
the incidence and functional outcome of a distal tibiofibular synostosis.

Redisplacement is the most common complication
of immobilisation in a cast for the treatment of diaphyseal fractures
of the forearm in children. We have previously shown that the three-point
index (TPI) can accurately predict redisplacement of
We have studied the placement of three screws within the femoral head and the degree of angulation of the screws in 395 patients with displaced intracapsular
A total of 14 women and seven men with a mean age of 43 years (18 to 68) who sustained a Mason type IV

This is the first study to use the English Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2007, the Government’s official measure of multiple deprivation, to analyse the effect of socioeconomic status on the incidence of
Aims. Hip hemiarthroplasty is a standard treatment for intracapsular
proximal femoral fractures in the frail elderly. In this study we
have explored the implications of early return to theatre, within
30 days, on patient outcome following hip hemiarthroplasty. Patients and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records of all hip hemiarthroplasties
performed in our unit between January 2010 and January 2015. Demographic
details, medical backround, details of the primary procedure, complications,
subsequent procedures requiring return to theatre, re-admissions,
discharge destination and death were collected. Results. A total of 705 procedures were included; 428 Austin Moore and
277 Exeter Trauma Stems were used. A total of 34
