Aims: Frailty greatly increases the risk of adverse outcome of trauma in older people. Frailty detection tools appear to be unsuitable for use in traumatically injured older patients. We therefore aimed to develop a method for detecting frailty in older people sustaining trauma using routinely collected clinical data.

- * The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of locking versus non-locking plate fixation in treating comminuted talar neck fractures using cadaver specimens.
- * Results indicated no significant differences in strength or stability between the two fixation methods, suggesting that both are equally effective, but caution should be used when mobilizing patients early after surgery.
Background: Calcaneal fractures remain a big challenge in orthopaedic surgery and lead to long lasting disabilities. Cadaveric research plays an important role in determining optimal fracture treatment. This scoping review aims to provide insight into cadaveric research that has been conducted on calcaneal fractures, including biomechanics, fixation, approaches and radiographic studies.

Methods: Medline, Embase, Scopus and WANFANG databases were searched for relevant cupping RCTs on low back pain articles up to 2023. A complementary search was manually made on 27 September for update screening.
Article Synopsis
- Lateral column instability in adult acquired flatfoot deformity leads to poor arch support, and this study aims to quantify the contribution of various ligaments to that stability using cadaver samples.
- Researchers sectioned ligaments from 17 preserved cadaveric specimens and analyzed how each ligament affected the movement of the metatarsal head under different dorsal forces.
- The findings showed that the lateral plantar ligaments and calcaneocuboid capsule were key to metatarsal motion and overall foot stability, which could inform future surgical techniques for restoring arch support.
