Plate osteosynthesis of proximal humerus fracture is associated with significant complications and poor functional score for patients older than 45 years: a cohort study.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg
November 2024
Background: Despite the introduction of new implants and biomechanical improvements for proximal humerus fractures (PHF), the complication rate remains significant, particularly in older adults. This study aimed to identify risk factors for complications and failure following plate osteosynthesis for PHF and discuss an age cut-off that surgeons should consider for complications.
Methods: Adults with PHF treated with the proximal humerus internal locking system at our large tertiary academic referral center between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively identified.
Article Synopsis
- Proximal femoral varus osteotomy (FVO) is a common treatment for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) that shows good outcomes in patients aged 6-12 years, particularly during the disease's early fragmentation phase.
- A study with 50 LCPD patients assessed clinical and radiological outcomes after FVO surgery, concluding that factors such as age at onset and Lateral Pillar classification did not significantly affect results over a 3-year follow-up.
- While the study suggests that FVO can be effective regardless of age and classification within the early fragmentation phase, the small sample size and multiple variables limit the strength of the conclusions.
Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign neoplasm with a broad spectrum of presentations. The treatment of FD in the hip region is controversial among orthopedic surgeons. Several treatment options exist, including curettage and grafting, valgus osteotomy, medial displacement osteotomy, and so on.

- The study investigates pelvic obliquity (PO) angles in healthy individuals to help guide surgeons in hip arthroplasty planning, including managing leg length discrepancies.
- A total of 134 individuals without musculoskeletal disorders were analyzed using visual gait assessments and radiographic measurements, finding a median PO angle of 2.0° and a normative range of 0° to 5.6°.
- Results indicated that PO angles showed no significant differences based on age or sex, and the presence of slight pelvic obliquity should not automatically be linked to underlying health issues like pain or scoliosis.
Introduction And Importance: Here we represented a new technique of closed reduction and transverse pinning to address first metatarsal comminuted fractures in patients with a concomitant second metatarsal shaft fracture.
Case Presentation: The first metatarsal comminuted fracture coincides with the second metatarsal simple fracture in this forefoot injury case. In a new technique, we used close reduction and percutaneous pinning CRPP) in a transverse direction of pins to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
Background: Since femoral and horizontal offsets may be contributing factors to hip and pelvic balance, this study seeks to determine whether there is a correlation between pelvic obliquity (PO) after unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and horizontal/vertical offset differences of the replaced and contralateral natural joints.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on adult patients who underwent unilateral THA between 2017 and 2020. An expert orthopaedic resident measured PO angles and offset parameters.
