Both anterior infix and retrograde pubic screw fixation achieve comparable functional outcomes for unstable anterior pelvic fractures; retrograde screws offer less blood loss and complications.
C2 nerve root sectioning in C1-C2 arthrodesis: a single-surgeon series of 31 patients.
C2 nerve root sectioning during C1-C2 arthrodesis safely improved visualization for C1 screw placement with no postoperative neurological deficits in 31 patients.
Ulnar neuroma-in-continuity after distal radius fracture is rare but treatable with nerve allograft and dynamic tendon transfer, achieving functional recovery when early investigation identifies structural nerve injury.
Reproducing Valgus Angle in Uncemented Humeral Hemiarthroplasty.
Uncemented humeral hemiarthroplasty can reproduce native valgus alignment within 4 degrees radiographically, supporting its use for elbow arthritis reconstruction.
The Sarcophagus technique combining intramedullary nailing with circumferential cortical strut allograft achieves 87.5% union rate in humeral shaft nonunion with favorable functional recovery and minimal complications.
Geriatric tibial plateau fracture complications (24%) are driven by fracture morphology and surgical complexity, not classic patient risk factors; ORIF remains standard when feasible.
PEG-20k low-volume resuscitation improves survival 4-fold and restores hemodynamics superior to crystalloid/colloid in polytrauma hemorrhagic shock; potential for field and resource-limited use.
Lateral epicondylar fractures in the pediatric population: Presentation, management, and outcomes.
Pediatric lateral epicondyle fractures are rare but frequently missed sports injuries; nondisplaced cases heal well with immobilization while displaced fractures require careful assessment for concomitant injuries.
Structured training enables advanced practice providers to perform pediatric distal radial fracture reductions comparably to experienced residents with better retention and lower loss-of-reduction rates.
Lower denosumab doses reduced skeletal-related events risk while decreasing osteonecrosis of the jaw risk in metastatic cancer patients, suggesting dose reduction may optimize the benefit-harm profile.
Displaced femoral neck fractures in young patients (18-60 years) achieved 30% overall failure rate; increased displacement, cannulated screws, and suboptimal reduction independently increased nonunion risk.
A Comprehensive Guide to Tibial Nailing Systems for Short Segment Nailing Procedures.
Thirteen tibial intramedullary nail systems vary in interlocking screw configurations (3-5 proximal and distal screws) and design features; detailed specifications assist operative planning for short segment distal tibial fractures.
Adjustable anterior rim plates for distal radius fractures beyond the watershed line significantly reduce tendon irritation compared to other fragment-specific fixation options.
Further fractures and reoperations after hip fracture double inpatient costs; preventing complications could reduce national hip fracture expenditure by £265 million annually.
Poor bone health significantly increases proximal junctional failure, revision surgery, and healthcare costs in adult spinal deformity surgery.
Liposomal bupivacaine incisional infiltration did not reduce resting pain at 48 hours in geriatric hip fracture surgery, not supporting routine use over multimodal analgesia alone.
Hoffa Fractures: Current Understanding and Surgical Treatment Strategies.
Hoffa fractures require anatomic reduction and stable fixation via carefully selected approaches based on fracture pattern to prevent arthrofibrosis and optimize outcomes.
Early Care of Polytraumatized Patients: A Framework for Orthopaedic Surgeons.
ATLS framework guides orthopaedic surgeon roles in polytrauma resuscitation; understanding ventilation and protocols enhances surgical decision-making and multidisciplinary integration.
Radial height measurement lacks standardization in distal radius fracture literature, with substantial discrepancies that affect treatment decisions and outcomes.
Evidence and Controversies in Geriatric Odontoid Fracture Management.
Geriatric odontoid fracture management remains controversial; treatment must balance surgical risks against conservative management in medically complex elderly patients.
Technical Tips for Reduction and Stable Fixation of Proximal Humerus Fractures.
Technical innovations including fibular strut allograft, calcar screw placement, and systematic reduction improve outcomes in proximal humerus fracture fixation.
Sprain of the Medial Ankle Ligament Complex.
Medial ankle ligament complex sprains are common following ankle injuries, often with concomitant osteochondral or syndesmotic lesions, managed by clinical assessment and MRI imaging.
Decision-making in the treatment of radial head fractures: Delphi methodology.
Expert consensus identified fracture displacement ≥2mm, motion block after aspiration, and head involvement ≥30% as key factors favoring operative treatment for radial head fractures.
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis: An update of practise.
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis has expanded globally since 1989 with improving outcomes across anatomical regions through reduced surgical trauma while maintaining fixation stability.
Expert-consensus principle-based classification for pediatric femur fractures correlates with outcomes; undertreated fractures showed 43% poor results versus 14-19% adequately/overtreated.
Complications After Pediatric Hip Fractures: Evaluation and Management.
Pediatric hip fractures risk osteonecrosis and other complications; anatomic reduction and stable fixation are critical to prevent nonunion and preserve hip function.
