The recent focus of the Ontario Expert Panel on hip fracture care and the development of the provinical integrated hip fracture model of care.
How this integrated hip fracture model of care that focuses on early access to surgery, improved surgical and clinical practice, and system flow across the healthcare continuum is resulting in positive outcomes and helping patients to return back home again.
Purpose: The appropriate means of fixation for hemiarthroplasty of the hip is a matter of ongoing debate. Proponents of uncemented components cite the risk of perioperative mortality with cement implantation as justification for avoiding cement in certain patients. Because...(more)
Purpose: Decubitus ulcers and post-operative infections significantly impact patients` outcome and resource utilization. The purpose of this study is to report incidence of post-surgical infection, decubitus ulcer and associations to 30-day in-hospital mortality among...(more)
Purpose: Acetabular fractures in elderly patients are difficult problems with various treatment options. Our institution treats many of these patients with percutaneous acetabular fixation. We reviewed medical records and contacted patients to determine the rate of...(more)
Purpose: The age of patients presenting with acetabular fracture has increased over the last ten years. Older patients tend to have patterns involving the anterior column with comminution of the quadrilateral plate. Our goal was to investigate the appropriateness of open...(more)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of AO cannulated screws for undisplaced fracture neck of femur and find out the correlation in outcome with respect to co-morbidities in a general trauma unit in UK. Method: A retrospective study was conducted using...(more)
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of the presence of femur fracture on mortality,pulmonary complications, and ARDS in trauma patients. In addition, we aim to compare the effects of other major musculoskeletal injuries to femur fractures on these outcomes. Method: We...(more)
Purpose: There are few reports in the literature detailing the arthroscopic treatment of multidirectional instability of the shoulder. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of arthroscopic methods in the treatment of athletes with symptomatic...(more)
Purpose: To determine whether generalized ligamentous laxity is a predisposing factor for primary traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation in young, active patients. Method: Prospective case series with age and sex matched controls. The Hospital Del Mar Criteria was utilized...(more)
Purpose: Arthroscopic stabilization for post-traumatic anterior glenohumeral instability is designed to minimize soft tissue dissection while achieving similar or improved outcomes relative to open techniques. This study’s purpose was to determine the rate of post-operative...(more)
Purpose: We hypothesized that glenohumeral joint stability will decrease with increasingly larger humeral head defects. Method: Humeral head defects were created in 9 cadaveric shoulders to simulate Hill Sachs defects. Defects represented 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, and 7/8 of the...(more)
Purpose: To evaluate failure rates of SLAP repairs with and without a fibrin-PRP clot. Method: 141 patients received a fibrin-PRP clot, placed arthroscopically between the labrum and bone prior to tying our sutures in repairing the SLAP lesion. Thirty-nine patients were...(more)
Purpose: Precise biomechanical reconstruction of the hip joint by a hip arthroplasty is essential for the success of this procedure. With the increasing use of surface replacement arthroplasty (SRA), there is a need for better understanding of the key factors that influence...(more)
Purpose: Plate and cable alone constructs to treat periprosthetic fractures around a well-fixed femoral stem in total hip replacements, have been reported with high failure rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of our surgical treatment algorithm to...(more)
Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty in high riding congenital dislocation of the hip is a challenging procedure. In order to position the cup in the true acetabulum, femoral shortening osteotomy is often needed. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the results of two...(more)
Purpose: Pelvic discontinuity associated with bone loss is a complex challenge in acetabular revision surgery. Reconstruction with anti protrusion cages, Trabecular Metal (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana) cups and morselized bone (Cup-Cage) constructs is a relatively new technique...(more)
Purpose: The purpose of our study is to compare hips to knees in regards to the cost per increase in function, to determine the relationship of economic investment to improved quality of life. Method: During the year 2005, a total of 23 TKA and 41 THA
revisions were...(more)
