Injury

Orthopaedic trauma is frequently accompanied by psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Beyond injury severity and surgical factors, psychological outlook—encompassing negative cognitions (e.g., catastrophising) and positive constructs (e.g., optimism, resilience, social support)—may substantially influence pain, disability, and functional recovery.

To determine rates and risk factors for additional nonunion surgery and final radiographic healing following diaphyseal tibial nonunion repair.

Injury is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with a disproportionate burden in low- and middle-income countries, where health resources are constrained and funding decisions are highly cost-sensitive. Injury and trauma care training programs have demonstrated their effectiveness in enhancing the capacity of care providers to treat injured patients, but evidence on their costs and cost-effectiveness remains limited and fragmented. This scoping review aims to map and summarise current literature on costs and cost-effectiveness of injury and trauma care training across different resource settings.

The optimal method of femoral stem fixation in hip arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients remains controversial. While cemented stems provide immediate fixation, concerns persist regarding perioperative risks. Uncemented stems avoid cement-related complications but may be associated with mechanical instability in osteoporotic bone.

To describe the epidemiology of pediatric trauma and its association with neighborhood opportunity in a large, urban metropolitan area.

Patient satisfaction with nursing care is a key indicator of healthcare quality in burn intensive care units (ICUs). However, limited evidence exists regarding predictors of satisfaction among burn patients in Jordan.

Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy generally employs T-shaped plates with three or more proximal screws to ensure stabilization. This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical necessity of the standard three screw proximal configuration of the T-shaped plates and investigates whether fixations with a reduced number of proximal screws provide sufficient stability and fatigue life under diverse loading scenarios using finite element analysis.

Flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) is a common treatment method for paediatric forearm fractures. They are routinely removed after fracture healing. This study aims to assess the 15-years’ experience of managing paediatric forearm fractures with FIN, with comparison between the outcomes of implant retention versus removal and cost analysis. This is the first study on FIN retention in paediatric forearm fractures.

To report the incidence of Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) after low-energy, ballistic tibial fractures and examine associations between injury mechanism, fracture location and morphology, and patient characteristics.

Tibial plateau fractures (TPF) are complex injuries associated with significant soft tissue and periarticular complications. Although vascular injuries are well described in lower limb trauma, their incidence in tibial plateau fractures has not been clearly established.
