Injury

Lateral epicondylar fractures in young patients have received limited attention in the literature. This study aims to describe their mechanism of injury, concomitant injuries, management, and long-term outcomes in pediatrics.

Socket is one of the components that can determine the comfort of the user. Poor socket fit can induce pain and discomfort to the residual leg. Besides, poor selection of amputation morphological parameters such as length of bone and tibial bevelling angle can hinder the control of prosthesis. Thus, the surgeon needs to make a wise decision, or else it can cause problems later in prescribing prostheses for the amputee. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of morphological variability of residual limbs such as tibial length, distal tibia bevelling angle, and stiffness of soft tissue.

The fact the clinical medicine continues to generate new evidence at a substantial pace is ongoing. Almost 2 million peer-reviewed articles are published in scientific journals every year [1]. Among them, there are articles propagating radically new ideas or encouraging the further exploration of a technique that was regarded niche just recently.

The initial injury from TBI damages brain tissue, disrupting blood flow and causing the brain to experience hypoxia. Hypoxia contributes significantly to the persistence of neuroinflammation and the progression of secondary brain injury, ultimately leading to long-term neurological deficits. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a potential intervention to mitigate hypoxia. In our earlier work, we demonstrated that HBO treatment effectively reduced brain hypoxia in rat models, as indicated by decreased levels of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α.

To compare the efficacy of three surgical methods—Robot-Assisted Percutaneous Reduction and Screw Fixation (RA-PRSF), Sinus Tarsi Approach for Open Reduction and Plate Fixation (STA-ORPF), and Extended Lateral Approach for Open Reduction and Plate Fixation (ELA-ORPF)—in the treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs).

The management of the pink pulseless hand (PPH) following paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures remains controversial, with no clear consensus between conservative management and early surgical exploration. This study aimed to compare outcomes of these strategies through systematic review and meta-analysis.

This study aimed to assess the association between the interval from initial fracture fixation to debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for fracture-related infection (FRI) (referred to as the FF-FRI interval) and treatment outcome in patients with FRI of the lower leg.

Tibial plateau fractures are among the most complex periarticular injuries and pose a significant therapeutic challenge, particularly in geriatric patients, due to compromised bone quality, comorbidities, and limited mobility. Against the backdrop of demographic change, this multicenter study aims to analyze complications, risk factors for revision surgery, and treatment strategies for geriatric tibial plateau fractures.

Periprosthetic fracture following hip resurfacing arthroplasty is an uncommon but important complication and represents a distinct failure mode compared with fractures around conventional stemmed total hip arthroplasty. Existing periprosthetic fracture classifications are useful descriptively, but they do not fully address the biomechanical and biological considerations unique to hip resurfacing. Herein, the epidemiology, risk factors, mechanisms of failure, diagnostic workup, classification, and management of periprosthetic fractures following hip resurfacing arthroplasty is presented.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is increasingly used in thoracic trauma, yet high-certainty comparative evidence against thoracotomy remains limited. We updated the only prior comprehensive meta-analysis (Wu et al., 2015) and re-derived all estimates from source-verified study-level data.
