Article Synopsis
- Humeral shaft fractures make up about 3% of all fractures, with complex types being rare; the study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and complications of treating these fractures using an open method with a locking plate.
- A retrospective analysis involved 26 patients over an average age of 64, assessing fracture healing, complications, and quality of life through various evaluations.
- Results showed no infections and effective wound healing, though mechanical issues arose in some cases and 84% had healed fractures within a year; complications included temporary and persistent radial nerve palsy in two patients.
Background: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is among the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures. Several factors-including age, sex, and tear severity-have been identified as predictors for outcome after repair. The influence of the tear etiology on functional and structural outcome remains controversial.

Methods: Twenty-five patients who had MRI and SPECT/CT within 3 months without knee surgery or grade ≥3 cartilage lesions were prospectively included. Maximum values of each subchondral femorotibial area were quantified and a ratio was calculated in relation to a femoral shaft reference region, which represented the BTU background activity.
Purpose: To evaluate the correlation of bone tracer uptake as determined with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) and the size and severity of chondral lesions detected with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the knee.
Materials And Methods: MR imaging and SPECT/CT images of 63 knee joints in 63 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 49.2 years ± 12.
