Abstract
A critical appraisal was made of the incidence of pressure sores occurring in the sacral region of patients undergoing treatment for fractures of the neck of the femur in an acute orthopaedic unit. A prospective controlled study was then carried out to investigate the effectiveness of the 'Reston' flotation pad in the prevention of such sores in a similar group of patients.Entities:
