background:patient concerns represent opportunities for improvement in orthopaedic care. thisstudy’s objectiveis to identify the nature and prevalence of unsolicited patient complaints regarding orthopaedic care ata tertiary referral hospital. the primary null hypothesis that there are no demographic factors associatedwith complaint types was tested. secondarily we determined if the overall com...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Globally, injuries cause approximately as many deaths per year as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined, and 90% of injury deaths occur in low- and middle- income countries. Given not all injuries kill, the disability burden, particularly from orthopaedic injuries, is much higher but is poorly measured at present. The orthopaedic services and orthopaedic medical d...

abstract background: with increasing knowledge concerning fractures of the distal radius, different classifications have been proposed. reliability of most of these classifications has been assessed. the fernandez classification has never been assessed for intraobserver and interobserver reliability, although this classification is commonly used. methods: five observers including one attending ...
