Fracture Line Morphology and a Novel Classification of Pilon Fractures.

Objective: Currently, there is no research that includes a comprehensive three-dimensional fracture mapping encompassing all types of Pilon fractures. Moreover, the existing classification systems for Pilon fractures exhibit only moderate to fair consistency and reproducibility. Additionally, some of these classification systems fail to accurately depict the morphological characteristics of the fractures.

Comparison of reconstruction nails versus dual implants in the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures in adults: a meta-analysis and systematic review.

Objective: There is no consensus on the optimal treatment for ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures. This meta-analysis aims to assess the effectiveness of reconstruction nails and dual implants in treating ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures to provide a basis for decision-making when selecting the optimal approach.

Methods: Relevant articles were retrieved from Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases using the keywords "neck of femur", "shaft" and "fracture fixation" from inception until November 17, 2022.
