Prevalence and severity of sacral dysmorphism and implications for safe transsacral screw placement in the Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian population: A retrospective matched cohort study Open
Indigenous Australian patients exhibited more severe forms of sacral dysmorphism when compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. Additionally the overall prevalence of sacral dysmorphism across this Australian population was amongst th…

Hip biomechanics in early recovery following fixation of intertrochanteric fractures: Results from a randomised controlled trial Open
Single and dual integrated screw femoral nails are both commonly used to treat intertrochanteric fractures. This study investigated if using single or dual integrated screw femoral nails result in different post-operative hip joint loading…

Gait biomechanics after proximal femoral nailing of intertrochanteric fractures Open
Proximal femur fractures in the elderly are associated with significant loss of independence, mobility, and quality of life. This prospective study aimed to: (1) investigate gait biomechanics in intertrochanteric fracture (ITF) patients (A…

Reoperation rates after proximal femur fracture fixation with single and dual screw femoral nails: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in aseptic reoperation rates between single or dual lag screw femoral nails,in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures (ITF) in elderly patients. Methods Electronic data…

Investigating and defining outcomes of suprapatellar versus infrapatellar intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures: a protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial Open
Background Anterior knee pain is often reported following intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures. The aetiology remains unclear, but the surgical approach may play an important role. To date, no biomechanically validated method e…

Is unrestricted weight bearing immediately after fixation of rotationally unstable pelvic fractures safe? Open
Introduction Rotationally unstable pelvic fractures treated with surgical fixation have traditionally been treated with restricted weight bearing on the affected side for 6–8 weeks post operatively. We have been developing pelvic fixation …

Operative Management of Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis – A Systematic Review Open
Background The incidence of osteoporotic pelvic fractures in elderly patient is rising. This brings an increasing burden on health and social care systems as these injuries often lead to prolonged hospital admissions, loss of independence,…

The burden of cycling-related trauma to the orthopaedic and trauma department of a level 1 trauma hospital in Adelaide, South Australia Open
Background With the fourth largest metropolitan population density, motor vehicle drivers in Adelaide, South Australia, record the most number of motor vehicle insurance claims in Australia. Previous studies have shown a rise in cycling-re…

Radiostereometric Analysis Allows Assessment of the Stability and Inducible Displacement of Pelvic Ring Disruptions during Healing: A Case Series Open
There is currently no accurate data on fracture displacement during the rehabilitation of pelvic ring injuries. This study investigated the use of radiostereometric analysis (RSA) in assessing the stability of C1 pelvic ring injuries stabi…

Proximal Femoral Nail Unlocked versus Locked (ProFNUL): a protocol for a multicentre, parallel-armed randomised controlled trial for the effect of femoral nail mode of lag screw locking and screw configuration in the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures Open
Introduction Intertrochanteric fractures are common fragility injuries in the elderly. Surgical fixation using intramedullary devices are one of the widely used management options. To date, evidence demonstrating the effects of lag screw c…

MRI Study on the Distance between the Distal Radius and the Flexor and Extensor Tendons: Is There Any Room for Error/Hardware? Open
Purpose This study aims to quantify the distances between the cortex of the distal radius and flexor and extensor tendons. Methods We analyzed 50 magnetic resonance images (MRI) of intact wrist without pathology. The distances between the …
