[Closed reduction and percutaneous lateral pin fixation in the treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children].
We evaluated the results of closed reduction and percutaneous lateral-pin fixation in the treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. ⋯ Closed reduction and percutaneous lateral pinning proved an efficient, reliable, and safe method in the treatment of displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children.

Randomized Controlled Trial[The effect of neostigmine and atropine combination on postoperative nausea and vomiting after arthroscopic surgery].
Postoperative nausea and vomiting prolong the time spent in postanesthesia recovery units. In this study, we investigated the effect of neostigmine and atropine combination, used to avoid residual curarization, on nausea and vomiting. ⋯ In patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery, it is safe to use neostigmine and atropine combination before extubation to avoid residual neuromuscular blockade associated with the use of non-depolarizing myorelaxants.

[Assessment of quality of life of patients after hemiarthroplasty for proximal femoral fractures].
The quality of life of patients was assessed with the SF-36 Health Survey following hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures. ⋯ Health related quality of life significantly decreases following hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with hip fractures. Nonetheless, arthroplasty procedures enable these patients to maintain basic activities of daily living.

[The use of local anesthesia in endoscopic release of the carpal tunnel].
We evaluated the early results of endoscopic carpal tunnel release with the use of local anesthesia. ⋯ Local anesthesia is a rapid and reliable technique in carpal tunnel surgery, enabling hospitalization confined to the same day.
