Background: Functional outcome following ankle fracture fixation is linked to the restoration of joint congruity, anatomic alignment and stability. If surgical fixation fails to achieve these goals, revision surgery may be indicated. This retrospective study aims to report a consecutive series of fourteen patients with a minimum of one year follow up after revision ankle fixation and describe CT scan based modified Pettrone score used to assess quality of primary fixation.

- The study utilized ultrasound imaging to track changes in diseased fascia in patients with Dupuytren's disease undergoing non-surgical treatment methods like splinting and tissue mobilization.
- Measurements of joint flexibility and ultrasound imaging were taken before treatment and again after 6 months, showing improvements in joint extension and reductions in the size and quality of the affected fascia.
- The findings suggest that non-invasive techniques like orthosis and tissue mobilization can effectively manage mild to moderate Dupuytren's disease, serving as viable alternatives to surgery or enzymatic treatments.
Background: Grade III open tibial diaphyseal fractures are challenging to treat and controversy exists on whether to treat them with an intramedullary nail (IMN) or a circular frame (CF). This study aims to compare outcomes for intramedullary nail and circular frame in the treatment of open tibial diaphyseal fractures.
Methodology: Retrospective study at a major trauma center of all patients admitted with a grade III open tibial diaphyseal fracture between January 2016 and January 2022.
Introduction: When parents of dependent children are treated in psychiatric inpatient hospital, it typically involves separation of parent and child for the duration of treatment, which can be highly distressing to the dyad and can result in disruption to the parent-child relationship. Parents who have experienced hospitalisation have expressed a desire for their parenting identity to be recognized and appropriately engaged with during their treatment. This recognition includes provision of interventions which support them as parents to limit the impact of their mental health on their children.

FRI remains one of the most challenging complications in musculoskeletal trauma surgery and carries with it a significant cost burden. A review of UK finances has not been completed utilising consensus diagnostic criteria.
