Nonoperative Management of Gartland Type II Supracondylar Humeral Fractures: A Comprehensive Review.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
January 2025
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nonoperative management of Gartland Type II fractures in pediatric patients.
Recent Findings: Supracondylar humeral fractures (SCF) are one of the most common traumatic fractures in pediatric populations, characterized as transverse fractures at the distal humerus between the medial and lateral columns. Early studies strongly opposed closed reduction and casting as an acceptable treatment modality for Gartland type II fractures as an early case series showed high rates of complications; however, more recent studies have suggested better outcomes.
Background: The effects of early sport specialization on professional athletes' resilience in handling increased workloads and athletic success have not been fully described.
Hypothesis: National Basketball Association (NBA) players who were multisport athletes during high school would be able to withstand higher workloads with lower injury rates and have more athletic success compared with their single-sport peers.
Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.
Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and ACL reconstruction (ACLR) surgery are very common. Patients increasingly use social media platforms like YouTube to find healthcare information to help them make medical decisions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of YouTube videos providing information about ACL injuries and ACL surgery.

Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
November 2024
Purpose Of Review: The physical health impacts of microplastics have received increasing attention in recent years. However, limited data impedes a full understanding of the internal exposure to microplastics, especially concerning the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent literature regarding the effects of microplastics on the musculoskeletal system.

- The study highlights the importance of addressing gender inequality in diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), as existing criteria are often based on male physiology.
- The research analyzed data from 431 patients to compare two diagnostic definitions: AHI-4 and AHI-3A, finding that AHI-3A resulted in significantly higher diagnoses of SDB, particularly in women.
- The findings suggest that using AHI-4 may contribute to underdiagnosis in women, emphasizing the need for more accurate criteria to ensure equal treatment opportunities for both sexes.
