Background: Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), accounting for 9%-12% of all shoulder injuries, is a frequent shoulder problem. Clavicular hook plates have proven to be a successful implant choice for surgical management. The benefit of this method is that it preserves the diarthrosis of the ACJ while reducing dislocation.

- Germs can infect surgical wounds if a patient's immunity is low, indicated by pus, which may require further operations to drain the wound effectively.
- A study conducted on 180 orthopedic patients with closed long bone fractures examined the rate and causes of post-surgical infections, monitoring them for symptoms and collecting bacterial cultures over six months.
- The findings revealed a 7.22% infection rate, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most common bacterium; some infections were treated with irrigation or antibiotics, highlighting the ongoing challenge of managing post-operative infections.
Background: The tibia, a crucial long bone in the lower leg, plays a vital role in supporting mobility. Distal tibial fractures (DTFs) are relatively uncommon among lower extremity fractures. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) has become increasingly popular due to advancements in surgical techniques and its potential for positive clinical outcomes.

- Local steroid injections provide short-term pain relief for tennis elbow, but novel treatments like autologous blood injections may offer more effective results.
- The study compared the effectiveness of steroid injections versus autologous blood injections in 396 patients suffering from lateral epicondylitis over 12 weeks.
- Results showed that patients receiving autologous blood injections reported significantly lower pain levels than those receiving steroid injections, with a notable p-value of 0.0001 indicating strong statistical significance.
Article Synopsis
- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have regenerative abilities beneficial for treating chronic diseases, like diabetes mellitus (DM), which causes long-term complications due to high blood sugar levels.
- The study aimed to determine how high glucose concentrations affect the viability and function of human adipose tissue-derived MSCs (hAD-MSCs).
- Results showed that hAD-MSCs in high glucose conditions had decreased cell viability, disrupted mitochondrial function, and altered protein expressions, indicating that hyperglycemia negatively impacts these stem cells' regenerative potential.
