Gender Preferences in Healthcare: A Study of Saudi Patients' Physician Preferences.

Background And Objective: Cultural and social factors, including physician gender, shape patient-provider relationships in Saudi Arabia. Preferences extend beyond clinical competence to include characteristics like gender and perceived traits, potentially introducing biases. This study examines Saudi patients' gender preferences when selecting physicians.

Radiographic and functional results of Ilizarov fixation in the management of nonunion of tibia and femur fractures: a retrospective case series.

Background: Femoral and tibial fractures may result in delayed union and nonunion, posing significant challenges in orthopedic practice. The Ilizarov technique has emerged as a promising solution for managing these complex cases.

Objectives: Evaluate the radiographic and functional results of Ilizarov fixation in the treatment of nonunion of tibia and femur fractures.

Treatment of non-displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures with dynamic hip and cannulated screws resulting in avascular necrosis: A comparative study of complications.

Objectives: To compare the complications associated with cannulated hip screws (CHS) and dynamic hip screws (DHS) techniques.

Methods: In this multicenter retrospective chart study, we reviewed the records and data of all patients operated upon by DHS or CHS for treatment of Garden type I and type II intracapsular non-displaced femoral neck fracture from January 2017 to December 2022. Patients with incomplete files or follow-ups of less than one year were excluded from the study.

Prevalence and Pattern of Injuries Across the Weight-Training Sports.

Background The prevalence and pattern of injury among weightlifters are insufficiently documented despite these research works. Understanding the injury pattern is crucial for minimizing side effects and maximizing the advantages of weight training. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and pattern of musculoskeletal injury among weightlifters and to investigate the associations between the prevalence of injury and sociodemographic and training characteristics variables.

Arthroscopic biceps augmentation does not improve clinical outcomes during incomplete repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears.

Aims: This study compared patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears (LMRCTs) with isolated incomplete repair of the tear and patients with incomplete repair with biceps tendon augmentation. We aimed to evaluate the additional benefit on clinical outcomes and the capacity to lower the re-tear rate.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1,115 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for full-thickness tears between October 2011 and May 2019.
