A Comparative Retrospective Study on Surgical Versus Conservative Treatment of Simple Fifth Metacarpal Neck Fractures.

Introduction The fifth metacarpal neck fracture is a common injury, and the treatment of such injuries is still a matter of debate. It typically presents in young adults of working age, and it represents a significant burden for both the health services and the patient. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of operative and conservative treatment of this fracture.

Derotational Corrective Osteotomy for Pediatric Forearm Malunion: A Case Report.

In this case report, we describe an eight-year-old boy with both-bone forearm diaphyseal fracture that was treated conservatively after closed reduction with manipulation. Nine months after the injury, he returned to consultation, presenting a rotational deformity of the forearm and 20° of pronosupination limitation. He was submitted to corrective osteotomies, using three-dimensional (3D) planning and templating, using a double approach, and fixation with a four screw holes plate in each osteotomy.

Retrospective survival analysis of the use of uncemented modular tapered stems for revision in periprosthetic Vancouver B-type fractures. Is instability a threat to survival?

Introduction And Objectives: Periprosthetic hip fractures show increasing incidence and complexity, representing a challenge for the surgeon. We aimed to evaluate the survival of uncemented modular tapered stems in the treatment of periprosthetic Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures and review the main complications and factors associated with decreased survival.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients submitted to revision arthroplasty for treatment of periprosthetic femoral stem Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures with an uncemented modular fluted tapered stem (MRP-Titan).

Traumatic Spondylolisthesis of L5-S1 in a Pediatric Age: A Rarely Described Injury.

In this article, we aim to present the case of a five-year-old child with traumatic spondylolisthesis of L5-S1 associated with a sacral fracture, manifesting as a spinopelvic dissociation. The goal of surgical treatment is to reduce the deformity and provide posterior fixation to restore the sagittal alignment of the lumbosacral junction. One-year follow-up showed good clinical and radiological outcomes.
