    Survival times of patients with a first hip fracture with and without subsequent major long-bone fractures
    (2013-02-25) Chayanin Angthong; Wirana Angthong; Thos Harnroongroj; Masatoshi Naito; Thossart Harnroongroj; Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University; Srinakharinwirot University; Mahidol University; Fukuoka University
    Objectives: Survival rates are poorer after a second hip fracture than after a first hip fracture. Previous survival studies have included in-hospital mortality. Excluding in-hospital deaths from the analysis allows survival times to be evaluated... in community-based patients. There is still a lack of data regarding the effects of subsequent fractures on survival times after hospital discharge following an initial hip fracture. This study compared the survival times of community-dwelling patients with hip

    The second fracture of the same clavicle: Prevalence and fracture configurations
    (2012-12-01) Apichat Asavamongkolkul; Thos Harnroongroj; Wuttipon Suteeraporn; Narumol Sudjai; Thossart Harnroongroj; Mahidol University
    Objective: To study second fracture at the same clavicle including prevalence, fracture configurations related to malunion types of the first fracture, and healing. Material and Method: Between 2008 and 2011, the authors reviewed medical records... and radiographs of the clavicles of patients who sustained acute clavicular fractures from motorcycle accident. Second fracture at the same clavicle and prevalence were studied. Malunion of the first fracture of the same clavicle were typed and configurations

    The Clavicular Fracture : A Biomechanical Study of the Mechanism of Clavicular Fracture and Modes of the Fracture
    (2000-06-01) Thossart Harnroongroj; Chaichana Tantikul; Sayumporn Keatkor; Mahidol University
    A clavicle is an S-shaped long bone whose biomechanical behavior is unlike that of a straight tubular long bone. When a clavicle is under a compression load along the axis, the force produces a middle one-third clavicular fracture. The present study... is a biomechanical study to confirm the clinical observations of the mechanism of the fracture and to discover the tension site and compression site of the fracture, using 12 fresh cadaveric clavicles, a universal testing machine and two special grips

    Displaced articular calcaneus fractures: Classification and fracture scores: A preliminary study
    (2012-03-01) Thos Harnroongroj; Bavornrit Chuckpaiwong; Chayanin Angthong; Pongtep Nanakorn; Narumol Sudjai; Thossart Harnroongroj; Mahidol University
    Objective: To review and group configurations of displaced articular calcaneal fracture advantaged for classification and radiographic fracture scores. Material and Method: Between 2002 and 2011, medical records and radiographs of patients who... sustained acute displaced articular calcaneal fractures were reviewed. The calcaneal fracture configurations were grouped as avulsion, bending, burst, or combination. Radiographic displaced articular calcaneal fracture score was designed to include Bohler

    The association between 10-year fracture risk by FRAX and osteoporotic fractures with disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
    (2018-10-01) Ratanapha Phuan-udom; Nittaya Lektrakul; Wanruchada Katchamart; Vajira Hospital; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University
    © 2018, International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR). As rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an independent risk factor for osteoporotic fractures, the severity of disease activity may correlate with fracture risk. Our objectives were... to determine the prevalence of major osteoporotic and hip fractures in patients with RA and to identify the factors related to their 10-year probabilities. This study enrolled 232 patients with RA, aged 40–90 years, who participated in the Siriraj RA Cohort

    Diplopia in facial fractures
    (2001-10-01) Preecha Siritongtaworn; Singhapan Tongsawas; Soranit Siltharm; Mahidol University
    A prospective study was made on facial fracture patients who received treatment in Siriraj Hospital from 1 Jan 1997 to 31 Dec 1998. We recorded the types of fractures which involved the orbit, diplopia, operations and results. From the 675 facial... fracture patients in this period, there were 256 cases that involved the orbit. Diplopia was found in 17 cases; Orbital floor fracture 8, Zygomatic fracture 4, Le Fort fracture 4, and Medial aspect fracture of maxilla 1. Ten cases were recent fractures

    Posterior acetabular arc angle of unstable posterior hip fracture-dislocation
    (2013-12-01) Thos Harnroongroj; Kongkhet Riansuwan; Narumol Sudjai; Thossart Harnroongroj; Mahidol University
    Purpose: Posterior hip fracture-dislocation needs stability evaluation. A previous study in the normal acetabulum has shown that the coronal posterior acetabular arc angle (PAAA) could be used to assess an unstable posterior hip fracture. Our study... was designed to assess PAAA of unstable posterior hip fracture-dislocation and whether posterior acetabular wall fracture involves the superior acetabular dome. Methods: Using coronal computed tomography (CT) of the acetabulum and 3D reconstruction

    Summary: This retrospective study examining hip fracture incidence, hip fracture trends, and the annual hospitalization costs for hip fractures in a population aged 50 years and older within the Universal Health Coverage System revealed... that the incidence of hip fractures and the annual hospitalization costs for hip fractures increased significantly from 2013 to 2022. Purpose: To examine the annual incidence of hip fractures over 10 years (2013–2022), hip fracture trends, and the annual

    Prevalence of fractures among Thais with Thalassaemia syndromes
    (2010-10-01) W. Sutipornpalangkul; Y. Janechetsadatham; N. siritanaratkul; T. Harnroongroj; Mahidol University
    Introduction: The association of fractures with thalassaemia syndromes is well established. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for fracture in Thai people with thalassaemia syndromes. Methods: A retrospective..., orthopaedic and surgical history, usage of tobacco and alcohol, as well as questions that pertained to fracture. The risk factors for fracture were determined by odds ratio. Results: The prevalence of fracture in Thai people with thalassaemia syndromes was 35
