Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how deltoid ligament repair impacts the onset of posttraumatic arthritis (PTOA) in patients with logsplitter ankle injuries treated with surgical fixation from 2008 to 2021.
- A total of 59 patients were evaluated, revealing that 44% developed PTOA post-surgery, with a notable difference in outcomes based on whether deltoid ligament repair was performed.
- Patients who had the ligament repaired showed a significantly lower PTOA rate (15%) compared to those who didn't (52%), indicating that this repair may help reduce long-term complications after such injuries.
Background: Patient satisfaction is variable following hallux valgus (HV) surgery. This prospective, blinded, randomized trial endeavored to determine whether showing patients a preoperative photograph would improve satisfaction following HV corrective surgery.
Methods: Adult patients undergoing HV surgery were randomized to a picture group (P) or a no picture group (NP).
Objective: To determine the rate of femoral head osteonecrosis, and other complications following rigid intramedullary (IM) nail fixation of traumatic diaphyseal femur fractures through the greater trochanter in the skeletally immature.
Design: Retrospective review, case series.
Setting: Level I academic trauma center.

Objectives: To investigate patient demographics, injury characteristics, radiographic outcomes, and identify risk factors for developing posttraumatic arthritis in high-energy transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocations or "logsplitter" injuries.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Academic level one trauma center.
Objectives: To determine whether patients with AO/OTA 43-B anterior impaction tibial plafond fractures have worse clinical outcomes, and an increased risk of progression to ankle arthrodesis.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Level 1 academic trauma center.
Unlabelled: Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) suppress inflammation by reducing polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) recruitment to the affected organs. We investigated modulation of PMN-endothelial cell adhesive interactions by water-soluble CORM-401 using an experimental model of endotoxemia in vitro. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) grown on laminar-flow perfusion channels were stimulated with 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide for 6 hours and perfused with 100 μmol/L CORM-401 (or inactive compound iCORM-401)-pretreated PMN for 5 minutes in the presence of 1.
