Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on distal radial fractures and the complications associated with volar locking plate (VLP) fixation, which can lead to implant removal.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 2951 patients, identifying intrinsic (like age and fracture type) and extrinsic (such as plate positioning) risk factors for complications post-fixation.
  • Key findings revealed that being under 62 years old, having a specific type of fracture, and the plate's positioning were significant risk factors for complications that might necessitate implant removal.

Background Diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament rupture is challenging, particularly due to the subjective nature of clinical laxity assessments. Objective evaluation methods are necessary for consistency and publication in clinical research. This study aims to assess the reproducibility of the GNRB® knee arthrometer (GeNouRoB, Laval, France) across different examiners and to examine the associated learning curve for a junior examiner.

Ulnar variance is an important radiological parameter for good functional outcome after distal radius fracture osteosynthesis. Secondary loss of reduction due to radial shortening is a common complication after volar locking plate fixation. Some authors recommend beginning by placing the most ulnar epiphyseal screw, ensuring that it is positioned as close as possible to the distal radioulnar and radiocarpal joints.

Purpose: Open surgical approaches for the treatment of anterior pelvic arc lesions are associated with several complications. We present the first retrospective descriptive case series on the use of laparoscopy as an alternative.

Methods: This descriptive, retrospective, single-centre study enrolled all patients who underwent laparoscopy for the treatment of pelvic ring disruption between May 2020 and March 2022.

Minimally invasive procedures have recently seen an increase in the treatment of pelvic ring disruptions and select acetabular fractures. Similar to ilio-sacral screws, the superior pubic ramus screw is becoming a preferred method for treating unstable pelvic ring fractures. While the osteology of the superior pubic ramus is well understood and has inherent variability, standard screw insertion techniques work effectively in most cases.
