Article Synopsis
  • The study reviews treatment methods for patients with acute ACL ruptures and related cartilage injuries, focusing on the surgical management of these injuries and their impact on patient outcomes.
  • A total of 892 patients were analyzed, revealing that most patients were male and the majority had cartilage lesions located on the medial femoral condyle, with no significant differences in patient-reported outcome measures across various surgical techniques.
  • The findings suggest that while chondral defects are common alongside ACL injuries, the surgical technique does not significantly affect the patient's perceived recovery post-operation, although postoperative outcomes improved significantly from preoperative measures.

The aim of the study is to describe the surgical technique and to report the outcomes of triceps reflecting anconeus pedicle (TRAP) approach for intercondylar fractures of the humerus. Twenty two patients with intercondylar fractures of the humerus were operated on by open reduction via the TRAP approach and internal fixation with dual precontoured locking plates. Data were collected on union time, postoperative complications, range of motion (ROM), triceps power, and objective clinical measurement.

Introduction: In the USA, lumbar discectomy is one of the most commonly performed spinal procedures. As certain sports are considered to be major risk factors for disc herniation, the question remains as to when highly active patients should return to their previous level of activity. This study aimed to analyze spine surgeons' opinions on when patients may return to activities following discectomy as well as their underlying rationale for their decision.

Introduction: Spinal fractures in fused spines such as in ankylosing spondylitis or DISH are typically of type B or C fractures where operative treatment is recommended. The mortality rate in non-operatively treated patients is reported to be 51%. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mortality rate, complication rate and demographics of patients following non-operatively treatment in fused spine injuries.
