Treatment of mid-shaft fractures of both forearm bones in adults typically consists of individual plate fixation of each bone according to AO principles. The primary objective of this multicentre retrospective study was to identify predictive and prognostic factors of failed bone union after internal fixation with a standard plate in adults. 130 mid-shaft fractures of both forearms occurred in 92 men and 38 women, who had a mean age of 35.

Interestingly, wide margins resection as the surgical treatment of bone metastases might improve the overall survival (OS). Nonetheless, data are lacking regarding the potential benefits of this strategy.

- The study focuses on analyzing the outcomes of surgery for patients with peripheral and spinal bone metastases, primarily caused by five types of cancers: lung, prostate, kidney, breast, and thyroid, across multiple centers over a two-year period.
- A total of 386 patients were evaluated, revealing significant improvements in pain and overall function post-surgery, with a median survival of approximately 13.3 months, depending on the type of primary cancer.
- The findings indicate a generally positive impact of surgical intervention on quality of life and function, but also highlight varying survival rates linked to different cancers, emphasizing the importance of individual patient factors in prognosis.
The number of hip or knee arthroplasties, and internal fixations of the proximal and distal femur, is increasing in proportion to the growing and ageing population, whose life expectancy is lengthening. Thus, fractures of the femur between proximal and distal implants, although rare, are becoming more frequent. Women over the age of 70, with fragile bones and whose ends of the two implants are close to each other ("kissing implants") are particularly vulnerable to them.
