Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs) represent a significant segment of paediatric bone injuries, posing unique challenges due to their potential for severe complications. This study aims to provide a detailed analysis of the surgically treated SCHF cases recorded in our registry.
Materials And Methods: Prospectively collected data from seven institutes were retrospectively analysed using the Hungarian SCHF Registry, with data about surgically treated paediatric patients with SCHFs.
Introduction: The relevance of biodegradable implants has gained more importance in modern clinical practice. The study aimed to evaluate the effects and outcomes of ankle fracture treatment with absorbable implants compared to metal screws. These implants are made from poly l-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), however, there are several other materials available on the market.

(2) Methods: In this report, two patients are described from the point of the initial presentation of symptoms to surgical consultation based on radiologic findings. These patients underwent corrective surgery in the form of mosaicplasty to repair lesions present on the articular surface and the underlying subchondral bone.

- - Pediatric forearm fractures are common and are often treated with casting or surgery; this study compares two surgical methods: elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) and a newer bioabsorbable method using PLGA implants.
- - A retrospective review of 86 patients aged 4 to 17 showed that both groups (41 with PLGA and 45 with ESIN) had similar injury patterns, with a ratio of boys more prevalent in both groups, although those treated with PLGA were younger on average.
- - Most fractures involved both the radius and ulna, with left-sided injuries being slightly more common; statistical analysis indicated no significant differences in gender distribution or injury side between the two surgical methods. *
Pediatric forearm fractures represent a substantial proportion of childhood injuries, requiring effective and minimally invasive treatments. Our study investigated the mid-term outcomes of biodegradable poly-L-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) intramedullary implants in managing diaphyseal forearm fractures in children. A follow-up cohort study was conducted with 38 patients treated with PLGA implants.
