“…Safety equipment is considerably essential for protection from injury and preventing the physical disability, which would be mirrored in conserving economy and social costs. Hence, it should be encouraged to develop intersectoral projects that enhance-the community participation and the supportive behaviors adoption (Bittar et al, 2020).…”

Background: Egypt loses about 12,000 persons every year because of road traffic accidents with mortality rate of 42 deaths per 100 000 populations. Little less than half (48%) of them are four-wheelers passengers and the fifth (20%) are pedestrians. The world health organization estimated that 50 million people are injured, and the worldwide annual road traffic deaths was 1.2 million and continues to rise steadily, reaching 1.35 million in 2016. Aim: This study aimed at determination of pattern and status of Road traffic accidents (RTA) injuries and deaths on an Egyptian sample. Methods: This is a retrospective study on cases of RTA admitted to the Emergency Department of Ain Shams University Hospitals during a two-year period starting from the first of January 2017 till the end of December 2018. Results: In the years 2017 and 2018, 1282 RTA patients were admitted to Ain Shams University Hospitals. The highest proportion of cases was from 20 -<30 years. Pedestrians were the most common victims. Almost all cases had the suitable radiological investigation according to the mode of injury, and 46.9% of the cases were presented with lower limb injuries. Most of the patients were treated surgically, and 42.1% of the cases stayed 6 days and more. Head injuries were the main cause of death. Conclusion: RTAs are a considerable problem threatening population safety. Most of Victims were males, in the productive age and pedestrians. Head injury is the most frequent cause of death. Recommendation: Nationally accepted, well-coordinated safety education programs are one of the fundamental steps leading to limiting the problem that costs huge mortalities, morbidities, and property damage.

Brachial plexus Injury causes severe and long-term upper limb deficits at any age. The outcome from current reconstructive options depends on the severity of nerve injury and timing of intervention. This chapter summarises the differing biological responses to nerve injury that occur during neonatal, young adult and mature adult life. The central and peripheral reactions to nerve injury, the effects of timing of repair on both motor and sensory neuronal survival and basic science evidence to support early intervention are discussed.

Objetivo: descrever as internações e os custos hospitalares por tratamento cirúrgico de fratura do tornozelo unimaleolar; por tratamento cirúrgico de fratura do tornozelo bimaleolar, trimaleolar, da fratura luxação do tornozelo; e por retirada de placa e/ou parafusos, no período de 2014 a 2019, no município de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo descritivo realizado entre 2014 a 2019 com dados epidemiológicos obtidos no banco de dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde, oriundos do cadastro da Autorização de Internação Hospitalar e dos valores, total e por serviços hospitalares, despendidos com o tratamento cirúrgico de fratura do tornozelo unimaleolar; o tratamento cirúrgico de fratura do tornozelo bimaleolar, trimaleolar, da fratura de luxação do tornozelo; e o procedimento de retirada de placa e/ou parafusos. Resultados: entre 2014 e 2019 foram registrados 13.721 procedimentos cirúrgicos em região de tornozelo, sendo gastos R$ 7.889.737,75 com as intervenções invasivas. Conclusão: sugere-se a partir dos resultados desta pesquisa a necessidade de reforçar políticas públicas voltadas para a implementação de ações concretas, para à busca de melhor eficácia no processo de seleção de materiais, revisão de protocolos clínicos e cirúrgicos.Palavra-chave: fraturas do tornozelo; fixação interna de fraturas; traumatismos do tornozelo; financiamento da assistência à saúde; ortopedia. Descriptive study on health care financing for surgical treatment of ankle fractures and removal of plates / screws in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 2014-2019 ABSTRACTObjective: to describe hospitalizations and hospital costs for surgical treatment of unimaleolar ankle fractures; by surgical treatment of bimaleolar, trimaleolar ankle fracture, ankle dislocation fracture; and by removing the plate and / or screws, from 2014 to 2019, in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Methods: retrospective descriptive study carried out between 2014 and 2019 with epidemiological data obtained in the database of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System, from the Hospitalization Authorization record and the values, total and for hospital services, spent on treatment surgical fracture of the unimaleolar ankle; surgical treatment of bimaleolar, trimaleolar ankle fracture, ankle dislocation fracture; and the procedure for removing the plate and / or screws. Results: between 2014 and 2019, 13,721 surgical procedures were recorded in the ankle region, with R$ 7,889,737.75 being spent on invasive interventions. Conclusion: it is suggested from the results of this research the need to reinforce public policies aimed at implementing concrete actions, in order to seek better efficiency in the process of selecting materials, reviewing clinical and surgical protocols.Keywords: ankle fractures; internal fracture fixation; ankle injuries; health care financing; orthopedics.
