Ankle fractures, often accompanied by other injuries and complications, pose a significant healthcare burden due to their high incidence and associated treatment challenges. This case report investigates the use of Cytal™ Wound Matrix, derived from urinary bladder matrix (UBM), in managing postoperative complications following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a trimalleolar ankle fracture. A 57-year-old male with a history of hypertension sustained a trimalleolar ankle fracture following a road traffic accident.

- - Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is a painful condition mainly impacting athletes, with symptoms like pain, tightness, muscle weakness, and cramps, but its exact causes are still unclear.
- - Diagnosis typically involves measuring pressure in the affected muscle compartments and using advanced imaging techniques, while a clinical diagnosis remains the most reliable.
- - Treatment options consist of conservative methods like gait re-training and injections, as well as various surgical approaches, sometimes used together; the article also examines existing research and offers future recommendations.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the functional and radiographic outcomes following corrective distal humeral osteotomies for the treatment of supracondylar fracture malunions in children. We hypothesized that such secondary reconstructive procedures could restore a reasonable and near-normal amount of functionality in a large patient cohort at a tertiary referral center.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiological records of 38 children who underwent corrective osteotomy for posttraumatic supracondylar humeral malunion using K-wire fixation.
Management of bone fractures must achieve both reduction and stability. However, dermatological conditions such as dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa can lead to catastrophic events when operating on the patient's bone fracture, possibly leading to wound infections and fracture nonunion. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old female with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa who had suffered from a femur fracture after a fall from the bed.
