Introduction/aim: The epidemiology, demographic, clinical, treatment, and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) characteristics of desmoid tumor (DT) patients treated at two sarcoma centers in Denmark is described.
Methods: Using Danish health registers, we studied DT patients treated at two sarcoma centers between 2009 and 2018. For each patient, ten persons from the general population were randomly matched on birth year, sex, and region of residence.
The aim for this review is to present general considerations in relation to malalignment after osteosynthesis with plate fixation and its consequences after fractures in adults in each of the following anatomical locations: humerus, forearm, femur, tibia. Recommendations for accepted malalignment in humerus diaphyseal fracture is varus <20 degrees, valgus <15 degrees, sagittal deformity <5 degrees and rotation <30 degrees. Recommendations when treating fractures of the forearm is anatomical reduction.

We hypothesized that midcarpal hemiarthroplasty would improve range of motion and grip strength of patients with wrist arthritis, with a complication profile comparable with that of alternative solutions for wrist arthritis.
Methods: We reviewed a series of 20 patients treated with a midcarpal hemiarthroplasty at an average of 4 years following surgery.
