Volar Locking Plating Compared to Conservative Treatment in Distal Radius Fractures in Elderly Patients (>60 years old): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Purpose: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of volar locking plating (VLP) to conservative treatment in distal radius fractures in patients aged >60 years old.

Methods: English articles were searched in electronic databases including MEDLINE, CENTRAL, Embase, Web of science, and ClinicalTrial.gov from inception to October 2020.

Arthroscopic Repair of the "Tibial Avulsion Triad"-ACL Posterolateral Bundle, PCL, and Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root: The Triple Tunnel Technique.

Tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are rare injuries that can be fixed either via and open or arthroscopic approach to restore native knee biomechanics. The advantage of arthroscopic fixation is the ability to treat concomitant intra-articular pathologies that are otherwise difficult to identify and manage via an open approach, such as medial meniscal root tears and avulsions. This technical note describes an all-arthroscopic technique of treating a rare and previously undescribed injury pattern consisting of PCL tibial and lateral meniscus posterior root bony avulsions and ACL posterolateral bundle tibial peel-off, termed the "tibial avulsion triad".

A low dislocation rate after revision total hip arthroplasty performed through the anterior approach.

Background: Dislocation is a major complication in revision total hip arthroplasties. This study aimed to evaluate the dislocation rate, complications, and functional scores of revision total hip arthroplasty performed through the direct anterior approach.

Methods: Between January 2014 and March 2020, 84 patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty were retrospectively reviewed.

Experience of abdominoplasty and analysis of the risk factors.

Background: We performed a retrospective study of patients who underwent abdominoplasty to determine the predisposing factors for complications.

Methods: Between 2013 and 2016, 235 patients underwent abdominoplasty at the Brugmann University Hospital. The risk factors for the complications studied were: sex, body mass index (BMI)≥30, active smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, previous abdominal surgery, weight loss, other associated surgical procedures, liposuction, muscle diastasis correction and the duration of presence of the suction drains.
