Tibial plateau fractures are complex injuries which carry significant morbidity and economic burden. They can present complex geometry depending upon the direction of the force and position of the limb and are often associated with significant soft-tissue injury. While the goals of adequate reduction, stable fixation, and early mobilization remain unchanged, the management of these injuries can be challenging even to experienced orthopaedic surgeons.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMetallosis, defined as the presence of free metal particles in the tissue, including bone and soft tissue, is a rare phenomenon seen in orthopedic practice. It is more commonly seen in arthroplasty surgeries, but its occurrence in the presence of other metal implants is also well recognized. Multiple hypotheses are suggested to explain the genesis of metallosis, but it is traditionally believed that abnormal contact between the metal surfaces leads to abrasive wear causing the release of metal particles into the surrounding tissue eliciting foreign body reactions from the body's immune system.

- The Hoffa fracture is a rare type of fracture that often leads to confusion regarding its diagnosis and treatment, with various conflicting reports.
- A case study of a 25-year-old patient with non-union of a Hoffa fracture was conducted, alongside a systematic review of related literature from multiple databases.
- The literature review analyzed 55 articles, enhancing the understanding of the trauma mechanism and leading to a refined classification system that aids in surgical management and predicts outcomes.
