Diverse Views and Practices on the Handling of Explanted Hardware Highlights the Need for Standardized Management.

Objective: Orthopedic implants may need to be removed for various reasons. There is little data on the appropriate handling of implants after their removal from patients. This study aimed to analyze how orthopedic surgeons handle removed implants and their underlying philosophies, using data collected from a survey.

Comparative analysis of radiological outcomes among cephalomedullary nails: helical, screw and winged screw.

Objective: Cephalomedullary nails (CMN) are implants with a high success rate in the surgical treatment of trochanteric fractures. The aim of this study is to compare the radiological outcomes and mechanical complications of femoral trochanteric fractures treated with three different CMNs.

Methods: Intertrochanteric fractures in patients aged 50 years and older treated with CMN between January 2016 and December 2021 were reviewed retrospectively.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome secondary to antimicrobial therapy in pediatric bone and joint infections.

Background: Bone and joint infections are common in children, particularly those under 10 years of age. While antimicrobial therapy can often successfully treat these infections, surgical drainage may also be necessary. It is important to note that prolonged courses of treatment have been associated with adverse events and drug reactions.

Characteristics of femoral neck fractures in osteogenesis imperfecta: Series of four-teen consecutive hips in twelve patients.

Introduction: While long bone fractures are commonly seen in individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), femoral neck fractures (FNF) are exceedingly rare. There is a lack of comprehensive data regarding the etiology of FNFs, their characteristics, and the treatment protocols. Our aim was to determine the characteristics of femoral neck fractures in children with OI.
