In a series of 150 consecutive patients with unstable fractures of the pelvis, angiography was performed in 23 (15%) who had uncontrolled hypotension. There were three anteroposterior compression (APC), eight lateral compression (LC) and 12 vertical shear (VS) injuries. Arterial sources of haemorrhage were identified in 18 (78%) patients and embolisation was performed. Angiography was required ...

The aim of this study was to analyze dynamic patterns for scanning femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) radiographs in orthopedics, in order to better understand the nature of expertise in radiography. Seven orthopedics residents with at least two years of expertise and seven board-certified orthopedists participated in the study. The participants were asked to diagnose 15 anteroposterior (AP) pe...

Our goal was to validate accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility/reliability of a new method for determining cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). This method allows matching the 3D-model from CT images or slices with the projected pelvis on an anteroposterior pelvic radiograph using a fully automated registration procedure. Cup orientation (inclination and anteversion) is calcula...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver variability in determining the socket version using the wire marker. 100 anteroposterior pelvis radiographs of cemented primary total hip replacements were reviewed by two orthopaedic consultants and registrars, twice. Intrarater and interrater reliability were assessed using Cohen's kappa. Intrarater kappas for junior do...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether patients with a fracture of the high superior pubic ramus have functional outcomes worse than those of the lower or more central superior pubic ramus. METHOD We carried out a retrospective cohort study of all patients with pubic ramus fractures seen in either the emergency department or outpatient clinic of a level-1 trauma centre in Montreal. Patients were grouped...

Background The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of coexisting symptomatic lumbar canal stenosis (LCS) in patients after surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and identify possible predictive factors associated with it. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with CSM at our institution between January 2005 and December 2015. Clinical and radiogra...
