Introduction: Following an index femoral fragility fracture, patients are at risk of a subsequent peri-implant fracture. Management of these injuries are further complicated by patient factors and multi-institutional care. This study quantifies such events and compare rate of identification between in-system and out-of-system patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate displaced diaphyseal humerus fractures and describe the incidence and characteristics associated with non or minimally displaced fracture line extension into the proximal metadiaphyseal region of the humerus.
Methods And Materials: All adult patients with diaphyseal humeral shaft fractures located within the distal two-thirds of the humeral shaft, treated at a single level I trauma institution between 2007 and 2020, were retrospectively identified.
Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to determine the validity and inter-rater reliability of radiographic assessment of sagittal deformity of femoral neck fractures.
Design: This is a retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Level 1 trauma center.
Open fracture is a risk factor for nonunion of diaphyseal tibia fractures. Compared with closed injuries, there is a relative lack of scientific knowledge regarding the healing of open tibia fractures. The objective of this study was to investigate which patient, injury, and surgeon-related factors predict nonunion in open tibial shaft fractures.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Trauma centers participating in the American College of Surgeons National Trauma Data Bank.
