Pronator quadratus repair integrity after anterior plating of distal radial fractures correlates with improved grip strength at 1 year but not with motion or disability scores.
Predictors of Revision Surgery to Promote Bone Healing After Surgical Fixation of Pilon Fractures.
Fracture-related infection is the strongest predictor of revision surgery for bone healing after pilon fracture fixation; medial column fixation reduces revision risk.
A rotator cuff sparing deltopectoral approach to intramedullary nail of humeral fractures.
Rotator cuff-sparing deltopectoral approach for humeral intramedullary nailing achieves good functional outcomes with low iatrogenic shoulder pain and no revisions needed.
Edema-enhanced CT derived from dual-energy CT improves diagnostic accuracy and reliability for sacral fragility fractures regardless of observer experience.
Postoperative CT detected syndesmotic malreduction in 52% of ankles despite acceptable radiographs; malreduction severity correlated with inferior 24-month functional outcomes.
HUMBL classification identifies humeral bone loss patterns associated with significantly increased revision, instability, and loosening rates, with ectatic bone loss showing the highest complication risk.
Conversion THA following prior fracture fixation shows outcomes between primary and revision THA, with higher transfusion rates and longer operative times.
Intraoperatively contoured reconstruction plates via anterior approach yield excellent reduction and functional outcomes in acetabular posterior column fractures.
Cemented femoral fixation reduced periprosthetic fractures but increased minor bone-cement syndrome; both fixation methods showed comparable overall safety for femoral neck fractures.
Orthopaedic Trauma Management in the Jehovah's Witness Population.
Managing Jehovah's Witness trauma patients requires multidisciplinary approach and clarification of blood product beliefs; pharmacologic and procedural alternatives exist.
Looking after patients with hip fracture in low- and middle-income countries.
The HIPCARE trial will test multidisciplinary care pathways for hip fracture patients in low- and middle-income countries to improve outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Management of Elbow Terrible Triad Injuries: A Comprehensive Review and Update.
Terrible triad elbow injuries require systematic surgical repair of lateral ligaments, radial head, and coronoid with early mobilization to prevent stiffness.
Update on Venous Thromboembolism in Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery.
Recent evidence shows aspirin noninferior to anticoagulants for VTE prevention in orthopaedic trauma; direct oral anticoagulants offer promising alternatives.
Traumatic Hip Dislocation: Pediatric and Adult Evaluation and Management.
Traumatic hip dislocation is orthopaedic emergency requiring urgent reduction; pediatric anatomy differs, necessitating different management strategies than adults.
Eponyms for the Description and Classification of Calcaneus Fractures.
Historical eponyms describing and classifying calcaneal fractures reflect contributions of orthopaedic surgeons whose names remain in modern clinical use and terminology.
Management of open pelvic ring injuries.
This review outlines multidisciplinary management of open pelvic ring injuries—emphasizing hemorrhage control, early debridement, and the debated role of fecal diversion—given their high mortality compared to closed injuries.
Management of Lisfranc Injuries: A Critical Analysis Review.
Lisfranc injuries range from mild sprains to complex fracture-dislocations; weight-bearing radiographs aid diagnosis, and anatomic reduction with stable fixation is essential.
Tension Band Wiring in Upper Extremity Surgery.
Tension band wiring effectively converts tensile to compressive forces for upper extremity fractures and avulsions with advantages of technical simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
Post-polio syndrome patients with femoral fractures require fixation allowing early weight-bearing; intramedullary nailing is challenging due to small femoral canals.
