Cast immobilization is non-inferior to volar locking plates in relation to QuickDASH after one year in patients aged 65 years and older: a randomized controlled trial of displaced distal radius fractures.

Aims: To compare operative and nonoperative treatment for displaced distal radius fractures in patients aged over 65 years.

Methods: A total of 100 patients were randomized in this non-inferiority trial, comparing cast immobilization with operation with a volar locking plate. Patients with displaced AO/OTA A and C fractures were eligible if one of the following were found after initial closed reduction: 1) dorsal angulation > 10°; 2) ulnar variance > 3 mm; or 3) intra-articular step-off > 2 mm.

Knee Pathology in Young Adults After Pediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: A Prospective Case Series of 47 Patients With a Mean 9.5-Year Follow-up.

Background: The rate of secondary knee injuries after pediatric anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is uncertain, and previous studies are limited because of poor methodology.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of new meniscal injuries since the initial diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of young adults who sustained a pediatric ACL injury. In addition, to evaluate meniscal and cartilage injuries in the index knee and contralateral knee injuries on MRI at final follow-up (9.
