Aim: To assess the epidemiological aspects of fractures sustained during bike accidents. Study design: Retrospective study Place and duration of study: Department of Orthopaedic, M Islam Medical & Dental College Gujranwala from 1st June 2020 to 31st December 2021. Methodology: Five hundred patients of bike accidents were assessed through severity scoring system. Various bike types, fractures sustained, rate of mortality, helmet usage was assessed. Results: There were 54.6% males and 45.4% females. The mean age of the patients was 33.5±5.75 years. Ninety percent of patients wear no helmet. The presentation of the injuries showed that majority of the cases as 28.2% had facial injuries. Spinal and thoracic injury was common in multi trauma injuries. Conclusion: Bike accidents cause severe life threatening injuries which can be reduced through wearing helmets. Keywords: Bike accidents, fractures, multi trauma
Objective: To find the frequency of destructive hip disease in post intra-articular corticosteroid hip Injection. Study Design: Retrospective study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Orthopaedic, Sahara Medical College Narowal from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Methodology: One hundred and twenty cases of corticosteroid injection in intra-articular region were analyzed. The radiological imaging within 6-12 months was used for finding frequency of rapidly destructive arthrosis. Narrowing of joint space greater than fifty percent with a loss of cartilage up to 2mm within a year was used for rapidly destructive arthrosis diagnosis. Kallgren and Lawrence scoring system ranged between 0-4 was used. Results: There were 73.3% and 26.7% males and mean was 53.1±3.3 years. The steroidal injection was placed as 40mg triamcinolone-acetonide with 4 mL 1% lidocaine in 77.5% of cases. 20.8% rapidly destructive arthrosis in all the patients who were injected with corticosteroid. The progression of total hip arthroplasty was noticeable in 22.5%. Conclusion: A high frequency of destructive hip disease is observed in intra-articular corticosteroid hip injections. Keywords: Frequency, Destructive hip disease, Intra-articular corticosteroid hip injection
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
