Objective: We aimed to assess the recent trends in the demographics of radial head and neck fractures and their management based on displacement.
Methods: TriNetX was queried for cases from 1 January 2017, through 31 December 2022. ICD diagnosis codes were used to define patient cohorts with radial head or neck fractures.
Objective This study aims to utilize the TriNetX database, a comprehensive global network, to improve our understanding of the frequency, demographic factors, and related comorbidities of surgical patients who develop venous thromboembolism (VTEs) events. Methods The global collaborative network in TriNetX was queried for all cases from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2023. International Classification for Disease (ICD) diagnosis codes were used to define patient cohorts with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the upper or lower extremity or pulmonary embolism (PE).

Purpose: Compressive neuropathies such as carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome can lead to sensation loss, muscle weakness, joint contractures, and disrupted sleep. The interplay between these conditions and the effect on patients' intimacy is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine sexual function before and after surgery in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release or cubital tunnel release.

- * Male patients and White individuals were more frequently diagnosed, and notable comorbidities included diabetes, smoking, and hypothyroidism, with smoking history linked to higher rates of surgical interventions.
- * The research highlights the need to consider demographic factors in diagnosing and treating Dupuytren disease, pointing toward a tailored approach to improve patient care and resource allocation.
Plate osteosynthesis of proximal humerus fracture is associated with significant complications and poor functional score for patients older than 45 years: a cohort study.

November 2024
Background: Despite the introduction of new implants and biomechanical improvements for proximal humerus fractures (PHF), the complication rate remains significant, particularly in older adults. This study aimed to identify risk factors for complications and failure following plate osteosynthesis for PHF and discuss an age cut-off that surgeons should consider for complications.
Methods: Adults with PHF treated with the proximal humerus internal locking system at our large tertiary academic referral center between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively identified.
