Femoral Neck Fracture Management In The Young Patient: A Case Review, Luis Berrios, Kevin J. Orellana, Michael Lago, Frank Gerold

Research Colloquium

Introduction:The optimal management of femoral neck fractures in the young patient remains controversial. Although there are universally accepted principles, there remains some variability in the optimal timing of surgery and method of fixation. In general, surgery should be performed on an urgent or emergent basis when feasible to decrease peri-operative complications, length of stay, and most importantly the ultimate likelihood of avascular necrosis. However, it is important to note that the preference toward a specific method of fixation remains heterogeneous among orthopedic surgeons.(1)

The purpose of this study is to present our preferred technique for treatment of displaced femoral …

Prevalence Comparison Of Accompanying Lesions Between Primary And Recurrent Anteriordislocation In The Shoulder, Doo-Sup Kim, Changho Yi, Yeo-Seung Yoon

Research Symposium

Background: Many authors have reported the presence of intra-articular lesions after primary dislocation of the shoulder joint. However, few studies have focused on their prevalence or the differences in accompanying lesions between primary and recurrent dislocations of the shoulder joint.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to investigate and analyze accompanying lesions, including types of anteroinferior labrum injuries, using diagnostic arthroscopy and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) in 144 patients with traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint.Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods: There were 33 patients with 33 dislocations in the primary dislocation group and 111 patients with …

Identifying endophenotypes of schizophrenia is of critical importance and has profound implications on clinical practice. Here we propose an innovative approach to clarify the mechanims through which temperament and character deviance relates to risk for schizophrenia and predict long-term treatment outcomes. We recruited 61 antipsychotic naïve subjects with chronic schizophrenia, 99 unaffected relatives, and 68 healthy controls from rural communities in the Central Andes. Diagnosis was ascertained with the Schedules of Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry; parkinsonian motor impairment was measured with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale; mesencephalic parenchyma was evaluated with transcranial ultrasound; and personality traits were assessed using …
