ABSTRACT
We present a case of a rare cause of cervical spine injury and quadriplegia, an injury secondary to break dancing. A nineteen-year-old male presented with quadriplegia; he sustained an injury while performing "break dancing". To our knowledge, it is the first case of cervical spine injury reported after break dance in GCC states. Cervical injuries and quadriplegia secondary to break dancing have rarely been described. Compared to other forms of recreational dance, break dancing may cause serious, life-threatening injuries
ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the outcome of the two different TKA implant designs used at SMC and to derive an estimate for the cost-effectiveness of using different implants
Design: A Retrospective Study
Setting: Department of Orthopedics, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain
Method: Two hundred ninety-eight patients who had TKA from January 2011 to June 2014 at SMC were reviewed. Patients with different implant designs were compared for pain severity, the range of motion [ROM], walking distance and satisfaction
Result: There were no significant statistical differences in pain severity, ROM, walking distance or patient's satisfaction between the two implant designs used at SMC
Conclusion: Selection of the implant design from the known manufacturers should be based on appropriate criteria
