While overall injury burden among climbers has been described in the literature, detailed analyses of severe orthopaedic trauma presenting to major trauma centres remain limited. As participation continues to increase, particularly within indoor climbing facilities, a clearer understanding of injury patterns associated with bouldering is needed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_author\">Author: H.

A smartphone-based ultrasonography (SBU) curriculum was developed to rapidly train frontline healthcare providers in Cameroon to perform and interpret eFAST. SBU has demonstrated promising educational efficacy, but its clinical feasibility in this technology-constrained setting is unknown. We evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a SBU pilot at three trauma centers in Cameroon.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_author\">Author: Liza Rosenbloom, Agbor N.

Although hip fractures are widely recognized for their high early mortality risk, less is known about the comparative one-year mortality associated with first-time long bone fractures at other anatomical sites. This study evaluates one-year all-cause mortality across multiple fracture types in older adults using a large, multicenter research network.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_author\">Author: Amir Mahdi Ghafarian, Muaaz Wajahath, Katie McBee, Elias Nasser, Abdullah Ghali<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_date\">Posted: May 7, 2026, 12:00 am<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item\">\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.injuryjournal.com\/article\/S0020-1383(26)00325-6\/fulltext?rss=yes\" >Wound complications following calcaneal fracture surgery using sinus tarsi approach<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_description\">The sinus tarsi approach (STA) has gained popularity as a minimally invasive alternative to the extensile lateral approach for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs), yet wound complications remain a concern.
