Closed Reduction and Minimally Invasive Fixation for the Treatment of Bilateral Displaced Posterior Pelvic Ring Disruption.

Objective: Close reduction and internal fixation have gained popularity for the treatment of pelvic fractures. However, the closed reduction of bilateral displaced posterior pelvic ring disruption is a great challenge even for the most experienced surgeon. In this study, we describe in detail a novel unlocking closed reduction technique (UCRT) frame that allows strong traction for bilateral posterior pelvic ring displacement and presents preliminary clinical outcomes.

The Role of Magnesium, Zinc, and Strontium in Osteoporotic Fracture Repair.

Osteoporotic fractures represent a significant public health challenge in the context of an aging global population, with the rising prevalence of osteoporosis intensifying the demand for effective fracture treatment. Restoring the structure and function of bone tissue damaged by osteoporosis-induced defects remains a critical issue in clinical practice. In recent years, bioactive metallic materials such as magnesium, zinc, and strontium have gained considerable attention due to their exceptional mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, positioning them as promising materials for osteoporotic fracture repair.

Intelligent Carbon Dots with Switchable Photo-Activated Oxidase-Mimicking Activity and pH Responsive Antioxidant Activity Adaptive to the Wound Microenvironment for Selective Antibacterial Therapy.

Intelligent antibacterial agent with controllable activities adaptive to the wound microenvironment is appealing to reduce drug resistance and enhance antibacterial efficiency. In this study, celery is chosen as the carbon source to construct celery-based carbon dots (CECDs) with double activities, i.e.

Predictors of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Following Traumatic Injuries.

Objective: After traumatic injury in pregnant women, providing timely and appropriate management for high-risk patients is crucial for both pregnant women and fetuses. This study aimed to identify risk factors that predict adverse pregnancy outcomes after traumatic injury.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study including 317 pregnant patients who experienced trauma was conducted.

Pelvic incidence-guided reduction in transverse parts of U-shaped sacral fractures: Technical recommendations.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to present a surgical technique that simultaneously reduces and fixates the transverse parts of U-shaped sacral fractures.

Methods: The sacral fracture was exposed through a posterior median approach. In a flexion injury, the rotation of the lower sacral segment is reduced by distraction along a pre-curved rod.

Sacral osteotomy combined with triangular osteosynthesis in the treatment of malunion and nonunion of vertically displaced pelvic fractures.

Background: Malunion and nonunion of vertically displaced pelvic fractures result in lower limb length discrepancies, claudication, and pain. There have been few previous reports of this type of corrective surgery for these old pelvic fractures. We present a surgical technique of sacral osteotomy combined with triangular osteosynthesis in the treatment of malunion and nonunion of vertically displaced pelvic fractures and report on its short-term clinical results.

Lumbopelvic fixation with S2 alar-iliac screws for U-shaped sacral fractures.

Objective: To investigate the surgical methods and clinical effects of lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) with S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screws for U-shaped sacral fractures.

Methods: From December 2019 to August 2020, 14 patients with U-shaped sacral fractures were treated with LPF using S2AI screws. Demographics, fracture classification, mechanism of injury, surgical treatment, complications and clinical results were assessed.
