Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and clinical outcomes in critically ill elderly patients with hip fractures requiring ICU care, revealing its potential role in assessing health risks in this population.
  • - An analysis of 991 participants indicated that higher SII levels were significantly associated with increased mortality rates, showing 30-day and 1-year mortality rates of 19.68% and 33.40%, respectively.
  • - The findings suggest that elevated SII can predict higher risks of all-cause mortality in these patients, with adjusted hazard ratios indicating a clear correlation between increased SII and higher likelihood of death within both 30 days and 1 year post-admission.

Background: This study aimed to assess the radiological and clinical outcomes of treatment using the ankle dislocation method for posterior malleolar malunion.

Method: Thirty-one patients with posterior malleolar malunion who underwent treatment using the ankle dislocation method from May 2015 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Key outcome measures were radiographic parameters (articular step-off, tibiofibular clear space, fibular length, tibial lateral surface angle, and ankle osteoarthritis), clinical scores (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale and Visual Analogue Scale), and patient satisfaction rate.

Purpose: Choosing a suitable surgical approach is crucial and challenging for type C pilon fractures. This article aims to explore the clinical efficacy of the medial malleolar window approach for varus-type tibial pilon fractures.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 patients with type C varus-type pilon fractures treated between May 2018 and June 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers created a new medical device to treat broken heels using a special technique called the sinus tarsi approach.
  • They studied 54 patients with specific types of heel fractures to see how well the new device worked and if there were any problems after the treatment.
  • Most patients showed good results after surgery, but some experienced issues like pain or complications, with about 17% facing problems after their treatment.*

The ankle biomechanics is easily changed due to the acute injury of the tissue around the ankle joint and the damage of the ankle joint structure, such as ankle instability and joint surface imbalance. When the mechanical load of the ankle changes, it can cause ankle regeneration and remodeling processes such as cartilage loss, bone remodeling, and degenerative changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 against interleukin-1 (IL-1)-induced apoptosis in human articular chondrocytes (HACs).
