- 老年医学 老年医学
背景情况:
- 远距离半径骨折 (DRF) 在老年人中很常见,代表了相当大的医疗保健成本.
- 对DRF的手术管理对上肢手术的医疗保险支出做出了重大贡献.
研究的目的:
- 分析2012年至2017年间手术治疗,医生支付和DRF固定患者费用的时间趋势.
- 评估对常见的DRF外科手术手术的报销比率的变化.
主要方法:
- 对2012-2017年4次DRF手术的Medicare数据进行了回顾性分析:CRPP,ORIF外关节手术,ORIF IA (2片段) 和ORIF IA (>3片段).
- 通过消费者价格指数对通货膨胀进行调整,检查了手术量,患者费用和外科医生费用.
- 用费用与付款的比率来计算退款比率.
主要成果:

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Fractures: Bone Repair
3.3K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
2.2K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...
