“…This conclusion is reinforced by Pouramin et al (26) , who observed that almost a third of the patients evaluated had completed secondary school. This conclusion is similar to the observations of Zuccarino et al (27) research, which indicated that over half of the patients had a high level of education. Furthermore, majority of the studied patients had manual work and about one quarter of them were farmers.…”

Background: Worldwide extremities fractures is one of the most frequent causes of physical disability and changes in patients' quality of life. Aim: This study aimed to assess extremities fractures and fixation and their effects on patients' quality of life. Subjects and methods: A descriptive study that was conducted at the Orthopedic Departments in Tanta University Hospital and Casualty Hospital affiliated to Ministry of Higher Education, Egypt. A convenience sample of 100 adult patients (18-60years) of both sexes, conscious and able to communicate verbally without any neurological problems. The assessment was done four times throughout the period of the study before fixation surgery and one week, one month and three months after fixation surgery. Three tools were used: Tool (1) Structured interview questionnaire that included 2 parts, part (1) Sociodemographic questionnaire and Part (2): Clinical assessment. Tool (II) The short musculoskeletal function assessment questionnaires. Tool (III): Short form 36 (SF-36) health survey questionnaire. Results: There was a negative impact of extremities fracture on patients' total quality of life. oth extremities and specific lower extremity fracture had the poorest quality of life scores than upper extremity fracture. Conclusion: Extremities fractures and their surgical management including internal and external fixation have a considerable effect on all dimensions of patients' quality of life.

Background Lower limb fractures account for approximately one-third of all fractures. Lower limb fracture complications are one of the major reasons for hospital stays and have high impact on rehabilitation services. Functional limitations with lower extremities fractures are related to decreased functional mobility, the need for long term use of assistive devices, lack of independence, and the long term need for assistive care. This study aimed to assess the functional limitation and identify the possible predictors among lower limb fracture patients by using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Methods A prospective institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July to October 30/2020, at University of Gondar, comprehensive specialized hospital. The data of 226 participants were collected through face-to-face interviews, patient record review and by physical examination with simple random sampling techniques. Binary logistic regression was used to identify predictors of functional limitation among lower limb fracture with SPSS 25. The strength of the association was present by adjusted odds ratios (OR). Results One hundred and eighty-two (n = 182 (80.5%): 95% CI (74.8 to 85.8) patients with following lower limb fracture have functional limitation. Level of education (AOR =5.50; 95% CI: 1.707–17.742), presence of hospitalized complication AOR=3.26; 95% CI (1.147–9.294), severity of pain AOR=3.19; 95% CI (1.399–7.259), duration of onset AOR=9.512; 95% CI (3.585–25.237), knee flexion limitation AOR=7.13; 95% CI (1.926–26.368) were the independent risk factors for functional limitation. Conclusion The magnitude of functional limitation in following lower limb fracture individual was considerably high in study setup. Level of education, presence of hospitalized complication, severity of pain, duration of onset, knee flexion limitation were the independent risk factors for functional limitation.
