Esteemed Members, I'd like to initiate a discussion on the ethical dilemmas we often face in resource-limited settings in Yemen when prioritizing elective orthopedic surgeries. How do we balance patient need, urgency, availability of resources, and social equity? What frameworks or principles guide your decision-making when difficult choices must be made? Your practical insights are invaluable for our community.

For pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, Dr. Al-Wazir, I find that any displacement or rotation, even subtle, warrants referral for K-wire fixation to prevent malunion and potential neurovascular compromise. Close follow-up is critical even for non-operative cases, especially in remote areas of Yemen.

I've personally seen good results with PRP augmentation in partial rotator cuff tears in my Yemeni patients, Dr. Al-Azani. While large-scale RCTs are still evolving, for select patients, it seems to enhance healing. The cost can be a barrier, but patient education on potential benefits is vital.
