Large posterolateral tibial fragments, known as Volkmann fractures, are common in ankle fracture-dislocations and typically require open reduction and fixation with interfragmentary screws and often buttress plates using a prone posterolateral approach. In this setting, fibula plating often necessitates dissection of the lateral window between the peroneal tendons and the skin, increasing wound-related complications. In recent years, intramedullary nailing of fibula fractures has gained popularity as a minimally invasive technique that allows load-sharing stabilization.

Purpose: To identify risk factors predisposing patients to poor outcomes after fixation of periprosthetic hip fractures around femoral stems.

Methods: Prospective multicentre cohort study of fractures around a hip replacement stem managed by internal fixation. The primary outcome was one-year mortality, while secondary outcomes were local complications and healthcare burden-related outcomes (nursing facility utilization and hospital length of stay).

Purpose: Ankle fracture-dislocations (AFD) often necessitate staged management involving temporary external fixation (EF) due to mechanical instability or blistering. However, limited literature exists on the optimal temporary immobilization method for low-energy closed AFD. This study compared baseline patient and fracture characteristics, along with clinical and radiological outcomes between AFD initially immobilized with EF versus splinting.

Purpose: Intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures is one of the most common procedures in orthopedic surgery. It can be technically demanding in proximal or distal fractures, which may be facilitated using semi-extended approaches. The aim of this study is to identify outcomes and their predictors using a semi-extended suprapatellar approach for tibial fracture nailing.

Purpose: To describe our institutional experience and results in the surgical management of multiligament knee injuries (MLKI).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective series of MLKI consecutively operated on at a single, level I Trauma Center. Data on patients' baseline characteristics, injuries, treatments, and outcomes were recorded up to one-year follow-up.

Purpose: Despite evolving treatment, the surgical management of high-energy tibial plateau fractures (TPF) remains challenging, associating high rates of complications. In recent decades, staged management has emerged as an encouraging option. The main goal of our study was to evaluate the influence of bridging external fixation (EF) frame configuration and the resultant quality of reduction (QOR) on outcomes after staged-treatment of bicondylar TPF.

Introduction: Stemmed total knee arthroplasty (STKA) periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) are an emerging problem affecting frail patients. Their surgical fixation is challenging, due to intramedullary involvement and poor bone stock. Polyaxial locking plating has yielded good results in implant-related femur fractures.

The overall societal impact of poliomyelitis worldwide is decreasing, rendering it almost absent in most developed countries. However, even there, patients are still seen who contracted it in endemic areas or developed polio before vaccinations became widely available. Post-polio syndrome (PPS) causes skeletal and neurological changes that increase affected individuals' likelihood of fractures, including fractures requiring complex surgical treatment.

Background: Most athletes who undergo revision of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) aim to return to their preinjury sport at a similar level of performance while minimizing the risk for reinjury. Additional lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has recently been correlated with improved outcomes and low complication rate. Yet, there are few series evaluating return-to-sport (RTS) and clinical outcomes after revision ACLR using bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and LET in athletes.

Background: Cut-out failure following proximal femoral fracture fixation is a compromising complication warranting surgical treatment. We describe 24 patients with cut-out failure after cephalomedullary nail fixation managed with salvage hip replacement.

Methods: Twenty-four consecutive patients who had sustained a proximal femoral fracture from December 2009 to December 2019, were managed with cephalomedullary nail fixation and experienced a cut-out failure were reviewed retrospectively.

Purposes: Femoral implant related fractures (IRF) are a growing pathology in an increasingly elderly and frail population. A series of IRF after cephalomedullary nail (CMN) fixation of a femoral fracture is analyzed and an algorithm described to guide the management of such fractures.

Methods: All eligible patients operated on for IRF fixation after CMN were reviewed regarding their demographics, comorbidities, injury pattern, and treatment.

Open patella fractures have high complication rates. Post-traumatic joint stiffness is particularly common. The management of this complication is even more difficult if free flap was used to cover a soft tissue defect.

Background: Ipsilateral femur and tibia fractures around the knee (floating knee) are rare injuries that threaten both limb viability and patient life. A correct surgical strategy is essential to reduce complications and sequelae. The aim of this study was to evaluate characteristics and results of treatment in patients with a floating knee treated at a single trauma center.

Unstable proximal femur fractures above a knee revision stem are an emerging complication that is especially difficult to treat. Since this pattern does not adapt to any previously reported classification, we named it "inverted Vancouver C fracture". In this single-centre case series, we pose a nail-plate combination for the treatment of such clinical picture.

Background: Trochanteric fractures are one of the most common fractures in elderly people. The use of intramedullary nails is an option for their treatment, especially in unstable patterns. Nail breakage is a rarely reported complication.

Background: The coexistence of lung disease and scoliosis entails a dramatic situation. There are no papers reporting scoliosis surgery in patients who suffered lung transplantation.

Purpose: To describe the case of a patient who underwent surgery to correct progressive spinal deformity after two consecutive lung transplants.
