Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a surgical strategy for treating painful ankle impingements that can occur after high-energy trauma resulting in extra-articular open fractures of the leg.
- The proposed method involves performing anterior and posterior arthroscopies primarily in the supine position, aiming to minimize complications and simplify the process.
- Initial results from a small group of patients and cadaver tests suggest that the strategy is effective, with data supporting improvements in pain, mobility, and functional scores post-surgery.
The mechanical properties of bone tissue are the result of a complex process involving collagen-crystal interactions. The mineral density of the bone tissue is correlated with bone strength, whereas the characteristics of collagen are often associated with the ductility and toughness of the bone. From a clinical perspective, bone mineral density alone does not satisfactorily explain skeletal fragility.

This marker, at the individual level, is intended to provide the biological age of the patient in the context of personalised medicine for the elderly.
Study Design: To validate this hypothesis, a clinical study was conducted on 22 women over 60 years old from a population of osteoporotic subjects who sustained a femoral neck fracture: a morphological analysis of the skin surface was performed on the patient's forearm and quantitatively compared with microarchitectural parameters of the dermis.
Purpose: To compare two teaching methods of a forearm cast in medical students through simulation, the traditional method (Trad) based on a continuous demonstration of the procedure and the task deconstruction method (Decon) with the procedure fragmenting into its constituent parts using videos.
Methods: During simulation training of the below elbow casting technique, 64 medical students were randomized in two groups. Trad group demonstrated the entire procedure without pausing.
