This report examines the pattern of gunshot injuries in a secondary Health facility over a 24-month period. Patients and Methods: All cases of GSI seen at the Accident and Emergency department of the State Hospital, Abeokuta from January 2010 to December 2011 retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were 46 cases with males constituting 44(95.1%) of cases, whilst female accounted for 2 (4.4%) cases thus giving a M:F ratio of 22:1. GSI commonly occurs in the age group 21 – 40 years (65.1%), whilst the lower limb was the most common anatomic region affected (39.1%). The other body regions affected were upper limb (30.4%), Head & Neck (15.2%), Abdomen (6.5%), Chest (2.2%), Trunk(back) (2.2%). 4.4% of patients had multiple sites of GSI.13(28.3%) cases were recorded in 2010 as against the 33(71.7%) cases seen in 2011an election year.35(76.1%) patients were treated and eventually discharged, while 5(10.9%) patients were referred to a Neurosurgical service. 5 patients died from their injuriesgiving a mortality rate of 10.9%. 1 patient discharged himself against medical advice. Conclusion: GSI is a cause of traumatic death, and enormous morbidity in our environment, striking at the most productive age group of the economy. There is need for a concerted effort to stem the tide.","PeriodicalId":322846,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121151044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and methods: 33 patients with a positive lachman’s test and pivot shift and a complete ACL tear on MRI were taken as cases. 33 patients with knee pain but a negative Lachman’s test and pivot shift and no ACL tear on MRI were taken as controls. To obtain the radiographic images of femoral intercondylar notch, the Holmblad (1937) method was used. The Notch width index and the Reverse notch width index was calculated for all the cases and controls from radiographic measurements and the results were compared statistically using Pearson chi square test. Results: The maximum number of cases and controls were in the age group 21-30 years with mean age of 28.61 yrs for cases and 28.91 yrs for controls. Maximum number of cases (69.7%) and controls (75.8%) had NWI greater than 0.25. Maximum number of cases (45.5%) and controls (54.5%) had RNWI less than 4.7 indicating wide notch. Conclusion: No significant relation could be established between Notch width Index and Reverse notch width index with anterior cruciate ligament injury.","PeriodicalId":322846,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126003474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Walsh, Amir Rubin","doi":"10.5580/2ba6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5580/2ba6","url":null,"abstract":"Background Arthroscopic techniques of rotator cuff repair are constantly evolving. Although biomechanically stronger, doublerow repair techniques have not been proven to be clinically superior. There are also situations where double-row techniques are not suitable and/or indicated. In these circumstances typical single-row sutures used are the simple suture or the modified Mason-Allen suture. We describe an alternative single-row suture technique – the ‘Down Under Suture Technique’ (DUST). We hypothesise that this suture has an improved tendon-to-bone contact area and pull-out strength than the established alternatives. Methods In a controlled laboratory study, 1cm tears of the infraspinatus tendon were created in 42 fresh frozen porcine shoulders. The tears were repaired using either a simple suture, a modified Mason-Allen suture or a DUST suture. The tendon-to-bone contact area was measured and compared in 15 shoulders, and suture pull-out strength was measured in the remaining 27 specimens. Results The DUST suture achieved a tendon-to-bone contact area of 122 mm, significantly higher than that achieved by the MasonAllen (48 mm, p=0.008) and simple suture (51 mm, p=0.01). Suture pull-out strength was 191N, significantly higher than the simple suture (97N, p=0.028), but not significantly higher than the Mason-Allen suture (127N, p=0.22). Conclusions We conclude that the DUST has favourable biomechanical properties when compared to other single-row suture techniques. It is a useful arthroscopic alternative where a single row cuff repair is needed.","PeriodicalId":322846,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125785696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods The lag screw elements of the Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) and DHS Blade were the two lag screws that were chosen to conduct this study with. “Pushout” tests were performed as the means to investigate the fixation that each lag screw achieved within the femoral heads, as the most common mode of failure with these devices is ‘cut-out’ Results The results demonstrate that the difference in mechanical properties between osteoporotic and osteoarthritic bone in cadaveric femoral heads mean that the devices used in the fixation of intertrochanteric fractures achieve a much greater fixation within osteoarthritic bone. The results also demonstrate that the overall failure patterns were similar for each device within both the osteoporotic and osteoarthritic bone apart from the large difference in forces achieved. Conclusion The results demonstrate, that as expected when the density of the bone increases, in general the implants achieve better fixation within it. However this study also demonstrates that it is the implant that dictates the pattern of failure and not the bone.","PeriodicalId":322846,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133610236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
