Subtype consideration in hip fracture research: patient variances in inter- and intra-classification levels highlight the need for future research deliberation. A 2-years follow-up prospective-historical cohort.

Unlabelled: Current research on elderly patients with hip fractures often neglects specific subtypes, either grouping all fracture types or overlooking them entirely. By categorizing elderly patients based on fracture subtypes, we observed diverse baseline characteristics but found no discrepancies in measured outcomes. This emphasizes the need for caution in future research dealing with different or broader measured outcomes that were not covered by the scope of this research.

Whole genomes from bacteria collected at diagnostic units around the world 2020.

The Two Weeks in the World research project has resulted in a dataset of 3087 clinically relevant bacterial genomes with pertaining metadata, collected from 59 diagnostic units in 35 countries around the world during 2020. A relational database is available with metadata and summary data from selected bioinformatic analysis, such as species prediction and identification of acquired resistance genes.

Hindfoot nailing without joint preparation for ankle fractures in extremely elderly patients: Comparison of clinical and patient-reported outcomes with standard ORIF.

Introduction: Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) nailing without joint preparation has been indicated as an alternative to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of unstable fragility ankle fractures. We hypothesized that primary hindfoot nailing without joint preparation, and immediate weight bearing can provide a safe and effective treatment for unstable fragility fractures of the ankle compared to ORIF.

Methods: A retrospectively single-center cohort was reviewed for all surgically treated ankle fractures in patients aged 75 years and older between 2016 and 2021.
