Assessing potential factors leading to perioperative peri-implant fracture in femoral pertrochanteric fracture osteosynthesis using the proximal femoral nail antirotation 2: A retrospective study.

Background: Perioperative peri-implant fractures (PPIFs) pose infrequent yet significant challenges in orthopedic surgery, particularly in the context of femoral pertrochanteric fractures (FPF) treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation 2 (PFNA-2) nails. PPIFs can lead to prolonged recovery and may necessitate re-osteosynthesis in severe cases. Despite the effectiveness of PFNA-2 in the management of FPFs, our understanding of PPIFs in this specific context remains limited.

Perioperative peri-implant fracture after osteosynthesis for geriatric femoral pertrochanteric fracture with the linear compression integrated screw intramedullary nail system (INTERTAN™): a retrospective study.

Background: Osteosynthesis for geriatric femoral pertrochanteric fractures using the linear compression integrated screw intramedullary nail system (INTERTAN™) has become popular. Nonetheless, cases of perioperative peri-implant fractures have been reported following this surgical technique. The factors responsible for this complication remain unclear.

Optimizing Traumatic Limb Salvage: Ectopic Implantation and Staged Rotationplasty.

Rotationplasty, a limb-saving procedure involving a 180-degree ankle rotation to function as a knee joint, is now standard for treating distal femur osteosarcoma. However, challenges related to self-identification persist within the Asian population. This study presents a case involving the successful application of temporary ectopic implantation followed by staged rotationplasty after a severe traumatic amputation, resulting in a favorable outcome.

The double-plate fixation technique prevents varus collapse in AO type C3 supra-intercondylar fracture of the distal femur.

Introduction: Varus collapse followed by osteosynthesis for distal femoral fractures with conventional implants has been well documented but is seldom mentioned in fractures managed with locking plates. The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of varus collapse after treating complex supra-intercondylar fractures of the distal femur (AO type C3) using a Single Plate (SP) or Double Plate (DP) fixation technique.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 357 patients with distal femoral fractures who were treated at our hospital between 2006 and 2017.

Causes of Increased Use of Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation for High-Energy-Related Traumatic Sacral Fractures.

Background: Reasons for the increased use of closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) for traumatic sacral fractures (SFs) are unclear in the literature. Therefore, we aimed to report the annual changes in the number of patients, mechanisms of injury, fracture patterns, and fixation methods.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we extracted data of 271 patients (mean age, 37.

Simultaneous reduction and fixation of concomitant acetabular fracture and ipsilateral sacroiliac joint injury through the pararectus approach: a technical report and early radiological outcome.

Purpose: Osteosynthesis for acetabular fractures with ipsilateral sacroiliac joint (SIJ) injuries remains challenging for orthopedic surgeons, despite the evolution of surgical approaches, such as the pararectus approach, and treatment sequences. The study aimed to describe the details of the treatment of acetabular fracture with ipsilateral SIJ injury by the pararectus approach and to report its surgical outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively assessed patients with acetabular fractures and ipsilateral SIJ injuries undergoing osteosynthesis by the pararectus approach over a three-year period.

Three-year functional outcome after open pelvic fracture treatment: a retrospective case series from a level I trauma center.

Purpose: Open pelvic fractures have high mortality rates, and survivors may have ongoing functional deficits from severe trauma and invasive life-saving procedures. However, there are limited reports regarding the functional status evaluation following open pelvic fractures. We aimed to report the treatment experiences and short-term functional outcomes of patients with open pelvic fractures.

Neiella holothuriorum sp. nov., isolated from the gut of a sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus.

A Gram-stain negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated 126, was isolated from the intestinal content of a sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, in China. Strain 126 was found to grow optimally at 25-28 °C and pH 7.5-8.

Pararectus approach to the AO B2.2 pelvic fracture: early functional and radiological outcomes.

Purpose: The pararectus approach is used to treat acetabular fractures; however, it remains unclear whether it can be used to treat pelvic fractures. This study aimed to examine the outcomes of patients with a pelvic ring fracture treated with this approach.

Methods: Seven patients with AO B2.

Matta's criteria may be useful for evaluating and predicting the reduction quality of simultaneous acetabular and ipsilateral pelvic ring fractures.

Background: Although the incidence, types, and radiological outcomes of simultaneous ipsilateral pelvic ring and acetabular fractures have been reported, there have been no reports on factors that may affect the quality of acetabular fracture reduction. Here, we evaluate the radiological outcomes of patients treated for simultaneous ipsilateral pelvic and acetabular fractures and analyze the factors that affect the quality of acetabular fracture reduction.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients treated for simultaneous ipsilateral pelvic ring and acetabular fractures between 2016 and 2020.

Endoscopic Harvest of Autogenous Gracilis and Semitendinosus Tendons.

The hamstring autograft is one of the most popular grafts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Although many techniques for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring autografts have been invented, hamstring harvest techniques have not been focused. Hamstrings are harvested using an open technique that requires a 2- to 5-cm skin incision.

A novel implant removal technique by endoscopy.

Background: Routine implant removal after fracture healing remains controversial. However, it has been suggested that implant removal should be performed in cases of joint impingement, painful scar adhesion, and implant malposition. Entrance selection is relatively critical in patients with poor soft tissue conditions or sloughing coverage.

Posterolateral approach for humeral lateral condyle fractures in children.

We proposed a simple posterolateral approach to the articular surface of the trochlea for fresh and late fractures of the humeral lateral condyle. Twenty consecutive cases, 16 fresh and four old fractures, were approached between triceps and anconeus before the age of 15 years. All fractures achieved union in 3 months.
