Association Between Cervical Fracture Patterns and Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury When Screened with Computed Tomographic Angiography
Vertebral artery injury (VAI) is estimated to be present in upwards of 0.7% of all patients who sustain blunt trauma [1 –7], and in 19-39% of all cervical spine fractures. This is likely due to the close anatomic relationship between the cervical spine and the vertebral arteries. There has been significant interest in determining the risk factors for development of VAI and carotid artery injuries (CAI) because of t he potentially catastrophic outcomes in a missed posterior circulation stroke. If undetected blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI), which include both VAI and CAIs, have significant morbidity and mortality wit...

Effectiveness of mid thoracic spine mobilization on postural balance and gait ability in subacute stroke patients: A randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: Mid-thoracic spine mobilization allows significant improvements in postural balance and gait ability in subacute stroke patients, with no differences between the SNAG and MM techniques.PMID:37718778 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230144

Quantitative assessment of thenar to evaluate hand function after stroke by Bayes discriminant
The incidence rate of stroke or cerebrovascular accidents ranks first in China. More than 85% of stroke patients have residual upper limb motor dysfunction, especially hand dysfunction. Normalizing the rehabil...

A systematic review of perturbation-based balance training on reducing fall risk among individuals with stroke
The existing evidence does not conclusively support the reduction in falls and improvements in fall risk factors resulting from perturbation-based balance training among people with stroke. Such an inconsistent finding could be due to the small sample sizes and variations in perturbation-based balance training protocols across studies. More high-quality studies are needed to further determine the effects of perturbation-based balance training on reducing fall risk in people with stroke.

Intramedullary Nailing of Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures in a Level I Trauma Center in Finland: What Complications Can be Expected?
CONCLUSION: This study provides a better understanding of the occurrence of surgical and medical complications after intramedullary nailing of intertrochanteric fractures. The new-generation nail types are comparable options based on the risk of reoperation. Anticoagulation, congestive heart failure, and hypertension were associated with major complications, highlighting the need for careful management and monitoring of these comorbidities during intramedullary nailing procedures.Level of Evidence Level III, therapeutic study.PMID:37582281 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000002792

Clinical outcome of open ankle fractures in patients above 70 years of age
CONCLUSION: An open ankle fracture in a patient older than 70 years has at least a 20% chance of requiring repeated surgical intervention due to deep SSIs. The presence of a cardiac history appears to be the main predictor for wound complications.PMID:37485433 | PMC:PMC10359747 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v14.i7.554
