Insertion of an Intercostal Catheter (ICC) is an accepted treatment for a pneumothorax (primary, secondary,
traumatic or iatrogenic), haemothorax, pleural effusion or post thoracic surgery. Reinsertion of an ICC is the most
common complication of removal, primarily due to recurrence of a pneumothorax. There are many guidelines for
when to remove an ICC and criteria that must be met to reduce incidence of recurrent pneumothorax. However there
is a significant lack of discussion regarding the exact procedure to remove an ICC, with specific focus on the stage
of breathing required.

I am pleased to mention that during the year 2019, all issues of volume 8 were published online well within the time and the print issues were also brought out and dispatched within 30 days of publishing the issue online. Journal of Trauma and Treatment during this year also brought out TRAUMA, EMERGENCY MEDICINE & CRITICAL CARE and TRAUMA, EMERGENCY MEDICINE & CRITICAL CARE 2020 conference proceedings, which consisted of ~ 50 abstracts.

In spite of the way that the WHO declared injury avoidance as a key issue of the Bone and Joint Decade 2000–2020 one needs to understand that injury counteraction has a very little significance in minds. Truth be told, wounds bring about more life years lost than neoplasms, cardiovascular sicknesses, cerebral strokes, or diabetes, and is thus viewed as a dismissed pestilence.

With the increasing usage of mobile phones worldwide, accidental injuries and lethal damages due to mobile phone or their battery explosions
have been reported frequently. Although, mobile phone charger explosion related to dental trauma is extremely rare, they may cause severe
damage to tooth and other complications such as burn injuries to face and loss of tissue mass leading to tissue defects. Tooth reconstruction
can be done by fragment reattachment and this procedure is known as “Biological Restoration.” The clinician can restore fractured teeth in single
appointment with the advancements in restorative materials, placement techniques and preparation design. This case report describes a case of
trauma due to a mobile phone charger explosion that resulted in coronal fragment fracture of maxillary anterior teeth which we treated using fibre
posts, composite and lasers for fragment reattachment.
