Shock-absorbing flooring for fall-related injury prevention in older adults and staff in hospitals and care homes: the SAFEST systematic review

Health Technology Assessment, 2022
Background: Injurious falls in hospitals and care homes are a life-limiting and costly international issue. Shock-absorbing flooring may offer part of the solution; however, evidence is required to inform decision-making.

The use of a new grafting material (b.Bone™) for the management of severely depressed tibial plateau fractures: Preliminary report of three cases.

Trauma Case Reports, 2023
Tibial plateau fractures are often complex injuries that result from high-energy trauma affecting the articular congruity of the knee. Managing tibial plateau fractures can be challenging because of severe depression of the subchondral cancellous bone ...

Dysfunctional stem and progenitor cells impair fracture healing with age [PDF]

, 2019
Successful fracture healing requires the simultaneous regeneration of both the bone and vasculature; mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are directed to replace the bone tissue, while endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) form the new vasculature that supplies ...

Influence of trabecular microstructure and cortical index on the complexity of proximal humeral fractures [PDF]

, 2018
Objectives: Poor bone quality increases the susceptibility to fractures of the proximal humerus. It is unclear whether local trabecular and cortical measures influence the severity of fracture patterns.

Fracture healing following high energy tibial trauma: Ilizarov versus Taylor Spatial Frame [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: The optimal treatment of high energy tibial fractures remains controversial and a challenging orthopaedic problem. The role of external fi xators for all these tibial fractures has been shown to be crucial. Methods: A fi ve-year consecutive
