Joel on Software

Joel on Software為Joel Spolsky的部落格，其主要的內容已出版成書，中文版為<約耳趣談軟體> 及<約耳續談軟體>，由悅知文化所出版。雖說是針對軟體產業的洞見，但對日常工作也是別有見地，尤其是在目前管理學及顧問公司當道的時代。

Parker and Palmer Score

Paker and Palmer score是用於評估近端股骨骨折術後一年後死亡機率的工具。

內含Mobility score 及Abbreviated mental test score兩部分，附上spreadsheet方便使用。

Mobility (Score is the total, 0 to 9):  3: No difficulty, 2: With an aid, 1: With help from another person, 0: Not at all Able to get about the house

Intertrochanteric Fractures: 10 Tips to Improve Results

好文章分享：

Haidukewych GJ: Intertrochanteric Fractures: Ten Tips to Improve Results. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American). 2009;91:712-719.

Tip 1: Use the Tip-to-Apex Distance.

Tip 2: "No Lateral Wall, No Hip Screw"

• Lateral wall指的是reverse oblique及transtrochanteric fractures

Tip 3: Know the Unstable Intertrochanteric Fracture Patterns, and Nail Them.

Tip 4: Beware of the Anterior Bow of the Femoral Shaft.

Tip 5: When Using a Trochanteric Entry Nail, Start Slightly Medial to the Exact Tip of the Greater Trochanter.

Tip 6: Do Not Ream an Unreduced Fracture.

Tip 7: Be Cautious About the Nail Insertion Trajectory, and Do Not Use a Hammer to Seat the Nail.

Tip 8: Avoid Varus Angulation fo the Proximal Fragment - Use the Relationship Between the Tip of the Trochanter and the Center of the Femoral Head.

Tip 9: When Nailing, Lock the Nail Distally if the Fracture Is Axially or Rotationally Unstable.

Tip 10: Avoid Fracture Distraction When Nailing.
