Low-profile double plating versus conventional single plating in midshaft clavicle fractures: A retrospective study and initial experience with this novel technique.

Background: Low-profile double plating seems a viable alternative to conventional single plating for fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures. This study aims to compare the two techniques regarding healing, complications, and removal rate.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patients >16 years that underwent plate fixation for midshaft clavicle fractures between 2020 and 2022 at one trauma-center.

Assessment of the proficiency level of novices in distal intramedullary nail interlocking achieved through training with Digitally Enhanced Hands-on Surgical Training (DEHST).

Background: Digitally Enhanced Hands-on Surgical Training (DEHST) platform was introduced to overcome the lack of training capabilities for the challenging task of freehand distal interlocking of intramedullary nails. It demonstrates high perceived realism for surgeons, and novices perform significantly better after DEHST training. However, characterization of how performance improves remained unexplored.

RM Pressfit vitamys: the 10-year follow-up.

Introduction: The RM Pressfit vitamys is an uncemented, titanium particle-coated, isoelastic monoblock cup made of vitamin E blended highly cross-linked polyethylene. We addressed the following questions: (1) What are the clinical and (2) radiographic outcomes 10 years after implantation? (3) What is the revision rate?

Methods: In this prospective observational study in a tertiary care centre we investigated all consecutive cases of total hip replacement with the RM Pressfit vitamys cup between September 2009 and November 2011. It was implanted in 162 hips, 49.

Combined interdisciplinary treatment of metastatic bone lesions using 3D robot-assisted image-guided navigation : Embolization, biopsy, ablation, and surgery in one operative session.

Objective: To maximize local tumor control, stabilize affected bones, and preserve or replace joints with minimal interventional burden, thereby enhancing quality of life for empowered living.

Indications: Suitable for patients with bone metastases, particularly those with severe pain and/or fractures and appropriate life expectancy.

Contraindications: In primary bone tumors, refer to the sarcoma surgery team for evaluation of wide resection.
