ABSTRACT

The evidence base is growing regarding proximal fibular osteotomy. Most studies show that the pain relief and improvement in terms of radiology is statistically significant. More understandable biomechanical theories explaining this improvement are appearing. Because it has a low complication rate and is relatively easy to execute, proximal fibular osteotomy should definitely be considered in any algorithm for the treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has already infected more than 3 million people across the world. As the healthworkers man the frontlines, the best practices model is continuously evolving as literature concerning the Coronavirus develops. METHODS: A systematic review of the available literature was performed using the keyword terms "COVID-19", "Coronavirus", "surgeon", "health-care workers", "protection" and "Orthopaedic Surgery". All peer-reviewed articles we could find were considered. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective trials and retrospective studies, as well as reviews and case reports, were included in this systematic review. RESULTS: Even though surgical specialties including orthopedics are on the relative sidelines of the management of this pandemic but best practices models are inevitably developed for surgical specialties. The algorithm of postpone, delay, and operate only when life-threatening conditions exist is going to be useful up to a point. CONCLUSION: The surgical staff needs to keep abreast of the latest literature concerning safety measures to be taken during surgical procedures. Review articles can go some distance in helping in this educational process. This knowledge must evolve as new information comes to light.

ABSTRACT

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 19 patients who were admitted to the emergency department with the diagnosis of anterior shoulder dislocation participated in this study. The diagnosis of shoulder dislocation was established in the emergency department with physical examination and anteroposterior shoulder radiography. The method was applied only once to the patients in the sitting position by the same physician without using any help, traction, anesthesia, analgesia, and myorelaxant. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 37.3 ± 13.1 years. Among them, 36.8% (n=7) were female and 63.2% (n=12) were male. Recurrent dislocations were observed in 21.1% (n=4) of the patients. The success rate of the method was 94.7% (n=18). No complication was noted in the patients. The mean procedure time was 243 ± 38 seconds. CONCLUSION: Prakash's method is a safe method for anterior shoulder dislocations that can be quickly performed with no need for sedation, assistance, and traction and has a high success rate.
