The role of patient positioning in surgical fixation of the calcaneus fractures using the lateral extensile approach.

Introduction: Calcaneus is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone. Open reduction and internal fixation of the displaced intra-articular fractures is considered the gold standard treatment. The lateral extensile approach is the most commonly used approach, and usually, the patients are kept in lateral decubitus position.

Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Scaphocapitate Fusion in Kienböck Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To report the functional and radiological outcomes of scaphocapitate (SC) arthrodesis in the treatment of Kienböck disease.

Methods: This meta-analysis was conducted with adherence to PRISMA guidelines. Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane and Virtual Health Library were searched from inception until November 2022.

Complications of conventional percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation of traumatic pelvic ring injuries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The objective of this review was to present a thorough overview of the complications associated with conventional percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation to identify areas for improvement in surgical technique and patient selection.

Methods: PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Ovid, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar were systematically searched for original human studies reporting on complications of conventional percutaneous sacroiliac fixation in traumatic pelvic ring injuries from January 1, 2000, to April 30, 2022. The main meta-analysis was based on the random effect model to pool all complications reported in the included studies.

Acute irreducible volar distal radioulnar joint dislocation treated with open reduction through dual approaches: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Acute dislocation of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a rare pathology. Most cases were managed with closed reduction, and few patients required open reduction through dorsal or volar approaches. We describe a patient who required open reduction using dual approaches.

The surgical outcomes of fixing ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures: single versus double implants fixation.

Background: Combined ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare and present a challenging management dilemma. This study aims to assess the outcome of concomitant fixation of the ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fracture using single versus dual surgical implants.

Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis of patients who underwent fixation of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures was performed over a 13-year period.

Open reduction and tunneled suspensory fixation for lateral end of clavicle fractures: surgical technique.

Unstable distal end clavicle fractures are associated with significant rates of nonunion and poor functional outcomes. Surgical treatment is paramount for unstable fracture patterns; however, treatment options are various, with each having its advantages and drawbacks. Recently, suture-based coracoclavicular fixation techniques using suture buttons have been implemented with high union rates, satisfactory shoulder function, and low rates of complications.

Scapular Fractures at a Level 1 Trauma Center: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Purpose: Scapular fractures are uncommon injuries that account for up to 1% of all fractures and 5% of all shoulder girdle fractures. Moreover, most of the evidence on the treatment of scapular fractures stems from case series, with paucity of comparative studies. Despite the lack of standardized criteria for the operative treatment of scapular fractures, a set of suggested radiological parameters has been recently reported.
