-
(Medpharm Publications, 2022-05)BACKGROUND : Knee replacement surgery was traditionally associated with prolonged recovery and rehabilitation programmes in hospital. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been shown to be cost effective ...
-
(Medpharm Publications, 2022)BACKGROUND : Wide awake local anaesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) is a local anaesthetic technique that employs lignocaine combined with adrenaline to maintain a pain-free and bloodless field during surgery on an awake ...
-
(Medpharm Publications, 2022)BACKGROUND : Road traffic accidents (RTAs), the second commonest cause of trauma in South Africa (SA), are on the rise. It is therefore important to study and understand the burden of RTA-related injuries on our orthopaedic ...
-
(Medpharm Publications, 2022)BACKGROUND : The direct lateral approach for total hip replacement has been traditionally reserved and described for neck of femur fractures. Advantages of this approach include technically easy access to the acetabulum ...
-
(Jaypee Brothers Medical Publisher, 2021-01)AIM AND OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical results following complex proximal, midshaft, and distal tibial fractures and investigate whether there are differences in outcomes between these ...
-

-
(Springer, 2021-07)PURPOSE : The purpose of this study was to quantify the posterior horn meniscal slope and determine its contribution to the reduction in posterior tibial slope. METHODS : Patients aged between 16 and 60 years and had ...
-
