Outcomes Following Intramedullary Nailing of Select Periarticular Distal Tibia Fractures.

Intramedullary nailing (IMN) of periarticular distal tibia fractures may offer advantages compared to plating. This study aims to report on the outcomes of select periarticular distal tibia fractures treated with IMN. Patients over 17 years of age that underwent IMN for extraarticular distal tibia fractures (Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association [AO/OTA] 43-A), partial articular with associated segmental shaft component (43-B), and simple intraarticular (43-C1/2) at a Level I trauma center were included.

Increase in gunshot wounds at a level 1 trauma center following the COVID19 pandemic.

Objectives: To compare the number of patients with gunshot wounds presenting to our level 1 trauma center before and during the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on volume trends after the lifting of stay-at-home directives through August 2020.

Design: Retrospective.

Setting: Level 1 trauma center.

Transformation of Ischial Osteoblastoma Into High-Grade Osteoblastoma-Like Osteosarcoma.

The authors report an osteoblastoma-like variant of osteosarcoma of the right ischial tuberosity in a 14-year-old boy. Radiographs initially showed a bone-forming lesion of the right ischial tuberosity. The patient underwent biopsy with curettage and bone grafting, with final pathology revealing osteoblastoma.
