Comparative Analysis of Supplemental Medial Buttress Plate Fixation for High-Energy Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures in Young Adults.

Objectives: To evaluate whether augmenting traditional fixation with a femoral neck buttress plate (FNBP) improves clinical outcomes in young adults with high-energy displaced femoral neck fractures.

Design: Multicenter retrospective matched cohort comparative clinical study.

Setting: Twenty-seven North American Level 1 trauma centers.

Effects of Technical Errors on the Outcomes of Operatively Managed Femoral Neck Fractures in Adults Less than 50 Years of Age.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of technical errors (TEs) on the outcomes after repair of femoral neck fractures in young adults.

Design: Multicenter retrospective clinical study.

Setting: 26 North American Level 1 Trauma Centers.

"Unstable" Pediatric Femoral Shaft Fractures Treated With Flexible Elastic Nails Have Few Complications.

Objectives: To determine our complication rate in pediatric femoral shaft fractures treated with flexible elastic nailing and to determine fracture characteristics that may predict complications.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: One Level 1 and One Level 2 academic trauma centers.

Quality of Reduction of Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures Using a Sinus Tarsi Versus Extensile Lateral Approach.

Objective: To evaluate the difference in the quality of fracture reduction between the sinus tarsi approach (STA) and extensile lateral approach (ELA) using postoperative Computed Tomography (CT) scans in displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs).

Design: Retrospective.

Setting: Level 1 and level 2 academic centers.

Clinical Considerations to Reduce Saphenous Neurovascular Bundle Injury During Suture Button Fixation of Syndesmosis Injuries.

Objective: To document angles, from 2 difference starting points, or danger zones that should be avoided to minimize risk of injury or irritation to the saphenous neurovascular bundle (SNVB) during suture button (SB) fixation for distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries.

Design: Retrospective imaging study.

Setting: Academic Level 1 trauma center.

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for a 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fracture.

Proximal humerus fractures account for approximately 5% of all fractures and they are the third most common fracture seen in the elderly population. Complex fracture patterns, including 3-parts and 4-parts, have traditionally been amendable to shoulder hemiarthroplasty. However, several limiting factors, including poor patient satisfaction and low functional outcomes have guided further exploration for other treatment options.
