Comparative StudyComparative results of percutaneous cannulated screws, dynamic compression type plate and screw for the treatment of femoral neck fractures.
The purpose of this study was to compare the period of union, functional outcomes and complications of patients with femoral neck fracture treated with percutaneous cannulated screws versus dynamic hip screw (DHS). ⋯ There was no superiority between cannulated screws and DHS according to union times and functional results. Risk of AVN is related to the degree of displacement. However, a prospective randomized study is needed to determine the outcome of each technique for patients suffering similar displacement rates.

Factors affecting the number of debridements in Fournier's gangrene: our results in 36 cases.
We aimed to evaluate the factors potentially affecting the number of surgical debridements in patients with Fournier's gangrene (FG) who underwent single or multiple operative sessions. ⋯ There was no difference in the clinical data of the patients who required single or multiple debridement sessions; however, FGSI may be useful in deciding repeated debridements, as it was found increased at each repeated session.

Case ReportsRepair of an extensive iatrogenic tracheal rupture with a pleural patch and a vascular graft.
Here we describe a 48-year-old woman who suffered a 7-cm rupture in the lower trachea after intubation with a double-lumen tube. We repaired the rupture with a new technique using a pleural patch reinforced by a ringed vascular graft. This technique appears to be appropriate for use in patients who have large tracheal ruptures to avoid tracheal stenosis.

Analysis of the necessity of routine tests in trauma patients in the emergency department.
The necessity of routine tests as regarded in the Advanced Trauma Life Support protocols has become controversial in recent years. The aim of this study was to analyze the necessity of routine tests in trauma patients. ⋯ According to our study, biochemical tests, anterior-posterior chest X-ray and anterior-posterior pelvic X-ray can be ordered as targeted tests. Conducting targeted tests will reduce costs and workload.
