The information provided in this article is meant to inform the patient on Minimally Invasive Surgery for knee replacement. Your orthopedic surgeon should explain to you which knee replacement is best for you and why.
The information provided in this article is meant to inform the patient on Minimally Invasive Surgery for hip replacement. Your orthopedic surgeon should explain to you which hip replacement is best for you and why
The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of digital templating software to accurately predict implant size requirements for primary total hip arthroplasty.
Some time ago we put together a grant proposal involving multimedia and healthcare. Our goal was to shop the proposal around to private foundations for funding. We planned to test the concept that information - or intellectual property - assets were being created everyday in the hospital environment. These assets, if captured and made persistent, could then be distributed and made available in the region for multiple uses - education, marketing, etc.
The bottom line is that the value of these intellectual property assets is currently being lost to the institution because there is no mechanism in place to capture, package and distribute this intellectual property.
Newsflash! The Internet changed all that long ago …
The REAL BIG news for health care organizations is that the penetration of broadband combined with the ease and low cost of creating video-based content has made it possible for every hospital to have its own “on-demand” TV station.
Anyway, you get the idea.
Here’s the proposal for anyone wishing to pursue a similar project in your institution.

Fractures of the distal radius account for an estimated 20% of fractures seen in the Accident and Emergency department in the UK. These injuries are common in the elderly population with osteoporosis, typically caused by a fall on outstretched hand. Most of these fractures are managed by the junior doctors in the department by closed reduction and plaster immobilisation under adequate analgesia and haematoma block.
Having spent 6 months as a Senior House Officer in the Accident and Emergency Department, I found that Junior Doctors find evaluating the post reduction films a bit of a challenge (i.e. to determine whether the reduction achieved is successful or unsuccessful).
This concise article covers the techniques of interpreting wrist radiographs for the junior doctors in the emegency department which will enable them to make an appropriate management plan for patients with wrist fracture.
