Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed data from the ORIGAMI trial to determine if adding methotrexate (MTX) affects the outcomes of abatacept treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who hadn't used biologics before.
  • - A total of 325 patients were split into two groups: those who received abatacept alone (MTX-) and those who received it with MTX (MTX+), and various health indicators were assessed over 52 weeks.
  • - Results showed no significant differences in disease activity or retention rates of abatacept between the two groups after a year, suggesting that using MTX alongside abatacept might not provide extra benefits.

Background: Satisfactory internal fixation of comminuted radial head fractures is often difficult to achieve, and radial head resection has been the accepted treatment. In this study, we compared the results of radial head resection with those of open reduction and internal fixation in patients with a comminuted radial head fracture.

Methods: Twenty-eight patients with a Mason type-III radial head fracture (some with associated injuries) were enrolled in the study.
