Background: Distal femur fractures make up 6 to 7% of all femur fractures. Various plating options for distal femur fracture are conventional buttress plates, fixed-angle devices, and locking plates. This study was planned to evaluate and explore locking compression plate fixation in distal end femur fractures which is expected to provide a stable fixation with minimum exposure, early mobilization, less complications and a better quality of life.
Methods: The study was conducted as prospective clinical study in 20 skeletally mature patients with x-ray evidence of distal femur fracture fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria, operated with distal femur LCP plating. Patients were assessed radiologically and classified according to distal femur fracture classification and outcome graded as excellent, good, fair and poor based on Lysholm Knee Score.
Results: Out of 15 excellent outcome cases, 3 cases were type A1 fracture, 1 case had type A3, 2 cases had type B1 and B2 each, 5 cases had type C2 and 2 cases had type C3 fracture. 1 case with good outcome was type C3. 1 case with fair outcome was type B2. While 3 cases with poor outcome were type A1, A2 and C3.
Conclusions: The DF-LCP is an ideal implant to use for fractures of the distal femur. However, accurate positioning and fixation are required to produce satisfactory results. We recommend use of this implant in Type A and C, osteoporotic and periprosthetic fractures.

he uterus and vagina are supported by various structures and connective tissues, and the integrity of these supporting factors is crucial for maintaining pelvic organ function and preventing conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse.
Understanding the anatomy and surgical importance of the supporting factors of the uterus and vagina is essential for gynecologists, urogynecologists, and pelvic reconstructive surgeons involved in the diagnosis and management of pelvic organ prolapse and related conditions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Disclosures
▪ This ongoing pediatric orthopedic imaging interpretation series is proudly
sponsored by the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Carolinas
Medical Center
▪ The goal is to promote widespread imaging interpretation mastery.
▪ There is no personal health information [PHI] within, and ages have been
changed to protect patient confidentiality.
4. The Physics of X-Rays
• How far an X-ray projects depends on the density of tissue that is to be
penetrated
• If there is no tissue, the color of the x-ray will be black
• The greater the density, the lighter the color
5. Reading Systematically
• Identify you are reviewing the correct patients imaging
(name, date of birth, date of imaging)
• Review both AP and lateral views, as this can help you
describe the fracture/deformity in both planes
• X-rays of two adjacent joints must be taken or a joint
injury could potentially be missed
• Identify which bone and what fractured part of the bone is
injured

Femoral Artery
Closed femoral shaft fracture can hold up to 1,000-1,500 cc of blood
23. Pediatric Femur Fractures: Complications
Non-Union • Incomplete healing within 9 months of injury or no
evidence of healing on successive radiographs over 3
months
• Incidence < 10%
Limb Length
Discrepancy
• Leg length asymmetry secondary to disruption of the
physis
Compartment
Syndrome
• A potential complication of tight casts
• 6-P’s:
Pain, Paresthesia, Pallor, Poikilothermia,
Pulselessness, Paralysis
Monteggia Fracture
Non-Union
24. Pediatric Femur Fractures: Management
Long Leg Cast Or Hip Spica Cast
• Long leg cast stays in place for 4-6 weeks, with conversion to short walking cast
or walking cast boot until there is radiographic evidence of fracture union
• Hip spica cast used in patients < 5 years of age with length stable fractures, and
typically stays in place for 6 weeks – 3 months
Indications For Closed Reduction And Intramedullary Nailing:
• Gold standard for diaphyseal femur
fractures
• Severe open fractures
• Irreducible unstable fractures
(comminuted fractures)
• Ipsilateral femoral neck or acetabular
fracture
• Associated vascular injury
• Refracture injuries

Important Considerations
• Classification system to determine whether a
comminuted femoral shaft fracture requires
management with an intramedullary nail or open
reduction
• Types III and IV typically require open
reduction

26. Retrospective study which assessed
clinical and functional outcomes of
open vs. closed intramedullary
nailing for closed femoral shaft
fractures…
• Fixation of femoral shaft fractures
with open intramedullary nailing
has similar outcomes in time to
union compared to closed nailing
• Intraoperative blood loss was
greater in open intramedullary
nailing vs. closed nailing
• Superficial and deep infection
rates were similar in both
treatment groups
