Background: Hip fractures are a significant public health issue among the elderly. While early surgical intervention's effects on morbidity are well-documented, the impact of delayed surgery on mortality and morbidity is less understood. This study aims to examine the medium-term morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent delayed surgery with an average preoperative waiting period of 14 days.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the safety and effectiveness of injecting stromal vascular fraction (SVF) into the knees of patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis over a three-year period.
  • A total of 25 knees from 20 patients (mostly women aged 50-76) received SVF injections after not responding to conservative treatments for at least six months.
  • While patients showed significant pain relief and improved function up to two years post-injection, these improvements were not sustained by the third year, indicating a need for further research on long-term outcomes.

Open surgery often requires hospitalization, an operating room, a surgical incision, and postoperative wound care; however, percutaneous release does not require hospitalization or surgery, and is relatively easier and faster. We aimed to assess the results of percutaneous A-1 pulley release using local anesthesia without hospitalization for the treatment of pediatric trigger thumb.

Over the last two decades there is a growing interest in the adult literature for subtalar joint arthroereisis. Parallel to this interest, there have been improvements in the design and biomechanics of the implant, although the main indication of subtalar joint arthroereisis in adults is not clear. Most studies show significant improvement in postoperative clinical scores and visual analog scores.

Although knee dislocations are relatively rare injuries; associated drop foot complication as a consequence of common peroneal nerve palsy (CPN) is substantially high. Even after successful ligament constructions; unresolved CPN palsy is a factor contributing to bad outcome after knee dislocations. CPN palsy is seen more after open dislocations, rotatory dislocations, and especially in patients with posterolateral corner injuries.
