Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how various prenatal risk factors influence developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in newborns, specifically looking at the Graf grading system.
- Data was analyzed from 112 newborns diagnosed with DDH, focusing on specific risk factors like breech presentation, firstborn status, and other orthopedic conditions, using logistic regression to evaluate their impact.
- Results indicated that some factors, such as lower limb malformations, may protect against unstable DDH, while others, particularly for females, increased the risk of developing unstable forms of the condition.
Background: Iatrogenic injury to the infrapatellar branches of saphenous nerve is a common complication following tibial nailing. This lesion seems to be directly related to the surgical approach adopted for nail insertion. The aim of the present study was to systematically review the current literature in order to assess the eventual superiority of one surgical approach for tibial nailing over the others in limiting the neurological impairment related to infrapatellar branch injury.

- Severe knee malalignment in children often requires surgical intervention, with various approaches to choose from.
- This study examines the outcomes of treating this condition using femoral and tibial osteotomies, which are surgical procedures to realign the bones.
- The focus is on the effectiveness of this method in a low- and middle-income country, where medical resources may be constrained.
Hip fractures are one of the major disability causes associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early surgery and stable fixation could be associated with better pain control, possibly lower mortality rates, and early recovery of autonomy.

Herein, we report two cases of talar extrusion treated with total talar replacement after a high-intensity trauma. Both cases subsequently required revision surgery due to degenerative changes of the tibial plafond (arthrodesis in the first case, conversion to a total ankle prosthesis in the latter).
