Objective: To report on the experience and impressions of the Brazilian orthopedic trauma surgeons attending the Leadership Development Program (LDP) hosted by the Sociedade Brasileira do Trauma Ortopédico (SBTO) in Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 4, 2022.
Methods: Forty-eight orthopedic trauma surgeons from five different regions throughout Brazil were provided a link to complete The Big Five Test, a validated online personality assessment. The questionnaire was available in Portuguese and was intended to provide a background on individual personality traits and their influence on interpersonal interactions.
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful surgery in the treatment of hip pain, but there are potential complications, of which dislocation is one of the most common. Dislocation management is a challenging problem that requires a multimodal approach, and the use of dual mobility implants is an option. We present a patient with a history of femoral neck fracture who underwent THA with a double mobility implant.

The aim was to identify if the obtained immediate postoperative Matta radiographic roof-arc angles after fracture reduction and fixation alters in the postoperative period when comparing posterior plating alone versus posterior plate and anterior column lag-screw fixation.
Patients And Methods: 35 skeletally mature patients (31 male and four female, with mean age of 39.
Objective: To analyze the natural exit of the wire guides in major trochanter through retrograde femoral approach, in cadaver specimens.
Material And Method: 100 femurs had been perforated between the femoral condyles, at 1.2 cm of the intercondylar region.
Objective: To assess the inter-observer agreement of three tibial plateau fracture classifications: Schatzker, AO Group, and Hohl.
Methods: Nine physicians of different levels of expertise (six Orthopaedic Residents - OR - and three Orthopaedic Attendings - OA) classified 50 tibial plateau fractures.
Results: There was a low to moderate agreement between OR and OA on the three classification systems.
Purpose: To review our experience with 82 surgically treated displaced acetabular fractures over a 4-year period.
Patients And Methods: Ninety-three consecutive displaced acetabular fractures were consecutively operated on at Level I Trauma Center from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2003, and 82 were available for review with a minimum of 12-month follow-up.
