Perceptual training to improve hip fracture identification in conventional radiographs
Diagnosing certain fractures in conventional radiographs can be a difficult task, usually taking years to master. Typically, students are trained ad-hoc, in a primarily-rule based fashion. Our study investigated whether students can more rapidly learn to diagnose proximal neck of femur fractures via perceptual training, without having to learn an explicit set of rules. One hundred and thirty-ni...
متن کاملPreoperative planning of primary total hip arthroplasty using conventional radiographs☆☆☆
OBJECTIVE the objective of this study was to present an analog method for preoperative planning of primary total hip arthroplasty procedures based on measuring the components by overlaying the transparencies of the prosthesis on the preoperative radiographs and checking the accuracy, both for predicting the size of the acetabular and femoral components used and for restoring the offset and corr...
متن کاملUsing dietetic assistants to improve the outcome of hip fracture.
OBJECTIVE To examine how improved attention to nutritional status and dietary intake, achieved through the employment of dietetic assistants (DAs), will affect postoperative clinical outcome among elderly women with hip fracture. DESIGN Open prospective randomised controlled trial, comparing conventional nursing care with the additional nutritional support provided by DA. SETTING Thirty-eig...
متن کاملIdentification of hip fracture patients from radiographs using Fourier analysis of the trabecular structure: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND: This study presents an analysis of trabecular bone structure in standard radiographs using Fourier transforms and principal components analysis (PCA) to identify contributions to hip fracture risk. METHODS: Radiographs were obtained from 26 hip fracture patients and 24 controls. They were digitised and five regions of interest (ROI) were identified from the femoral head and neck for...
متن کاملLimitations of conventional radiographs in the assessment of acetabular defects following total hip arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Conventional radiographs are routinely used to evaluate acetabular bone loss as part of the follow-up in patients who undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA). The objective of this study was to examine the accuracy and specificity of conventional radiographs reviewed by arthroplasty surgeons in detecting acetabular bone loss in patients with prior THA. METHODS Using a cadaveric pelvic...
