Abstract

This book is a compilation of the remarkable journeys of 48 hand surgery pioneers from the Asian-Pacific region. They came from diverse backgrounds — one being the 21st generation doctor in the family to another being the first ever orthopaedic surgeon of a major university. While some pioneers delved deep in the lab to push the boundaries of surgical care, others strived to make high quality hand surgery available to the masses. However, what united them all was an unwavering commitment to their patients'well-being and a willingness to go above and beyond to attain their objectives.The International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH) celebrates the spirit of enthusiasm, sacrifice and commitment to the cause of hand surgery by recognising these pioneers during the triennial IFSSH congress. Each biographical article in this anthology was written by someone who has closely known or collaborated with the featured pioneer. Each of these trailblazers has a story that will stir emotions and inspire others. We believe it's important to share these narratives to motivate the younger generation. By doing so, we hope to inspire them to follow in their footsteps, provide exceptional care to their patients and collectively create a better world to live in.

Abstract

For twin pregnancy, discrepancies in the crown-rump length (CRL) between two fetuses often exist. Evidence is lacking regarding which fetal CRL should be used for estimation of gestational age (GA). Our aim was to determine whether the larger, smaller or the mean CRL is more accurate in determining the GA in the first trimester of pregnancy.This is a retrospective study of twin pregnancies conceived by assisted reproduction. The oocyte retrieval date was used for determination of the true gestational age. CRL dating charts by Robinson, Hadlock and Chitty were used for reference. The values of the larger, smaller and mean CRL were compared with the reference CRL for the corresponding GA, which was obtained from each of the three reference charts. The differences between the reference CRL and measured CRL were calculated. The percentages of which CRL, the larger, smaller or the mean, was closest to the expected reference values were calculated.A total of 52 pairs of twins were included in the study. According to Robinson's chart, the proportion of larger, smaller and mean CRL values that were closest to the reference value was found in 11.5%, 75.0% and 5.8% of cases respectively. The larger, smaller and the mean CRLs were closest to the reference CRL in the Hadlock chart for 28.9%, 44.2% and 19.2% of cases, respectively, and closest to the reference CRL in the Chitty chart for 17.3%, 59.6% and 15.4% of cases, respectively.The smaller CRL is more accurate in the estimation of the GA for twin pregnancy compared to the larger or mean CRL values.
