PARIS (POSTERIOR MALLEOLUS RADIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION STUDY): STANDARDIZING MANAGEMENT OF UNSTABLE ANKLE FRACTURES WITH A POSTERIOR MALLEOLUS COMPONENT

The PARIS algorithm is used to classify posterior malleolar fractures (PMF) and guide fixation planning based on plain radiographs, with reassessment following pre-operative computed tomography (CT). This study aimed to validate and optimise the PARIS algorithm to determine which...

Early recognition of limb necrotizing fasciitis and surgery within six hours is associated with a lower mortality risk and improved patient-reported outcomes

Aims Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapidly progressive surgical emergency. The effects of time from hospital presentation to theatre on short- and long-term outcomes, as well as specific modifiable aspects of the care pathway that would enable early surgery, remain poorly defin...

The Association of Umbilical Cord Blood Neurofilament Light With Nonreassuring Fetal Status: A Prospective Observational Study

( Int J Gynaecol Obstet . 2026 Mar;172(3):1491–1500. doi:10.1002/ijgo.70421) A prospective observational study explored whether neurofilament light (NfL), a marker of neuronal injury, can be reliably measured in umbilical cord blood and whether it is associated with nonreassuring...
