Finite Element Analysis of Protective Measures against Lateral Hinge Fractures in High-Tibial Osteotomy.

Background: Opening wedge high-tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is widely used for correcting mechanical axis deviations and offloading the medial compartment in unicompartmental osteoarthritis. However, lateral hinge fractures (LHFs) pose a significant complication. This study investigates protective measures to mitigate these fractures, guided by prior observations of mechanical stress impact on LHFs.

Bilateral Flexion-Type Supracondylar Humerus Fracture.

Supracondylar humerus fractures are common in the pediatric population, but flexion fractures are very rare in this population. The need for open reduction in these fractures is high and can be challenging for orthopaedic surgeons. In this article, we report a 9-year-old patient with bilateral flexion-type humeral fracture treated with closed reduction, which, to our knowledge, is the first report in the literature.
