Mortality and causes of death among patients with isolated limb and pelvic fractures.

Between May 2001 and May 2005, all 8834 adults admitted to our hospital with fractures to the limbs and pelvis were prospectively entered onto a database. Information was cross-referenced with the Office of National Statistics, and all patients who died during the study period were identified. Mortality rates were adjusted for age, gender and type of injury and cause of death was identified from hospital records. Neck of femur fractures accounted for 32% of admissions. Younger patients were more likely to be male and older patients more likely to be female. Overall 30-day and 1-year mortalities were 4.5 and 13%, respectively. Increased mortality was associated with age, male gender and fractures of the femur or pelvis.

Electrogoniometric analysis of equine metacarpophalangeal joint lameness.

Electrogoniometry was used qualitively and quantitatively to assess the movements of the normal and pathologic metacarpophalangeal joints of selected horses. A total of 4 Thoroughbreds, 1 normal and 3 with clinical and radiographic changes in the metacarpophalangeal joints of 1 limb, were evaluated at the walk and trot. Goniograms of the affected joints were compared with those of the normal horse and the normal contralateral metacarpophangeal joint. Qualitative asymmetry was recognized on the goniograms, and the ranges of motion were quantified and related to the clinical and radiologic observations.
