Development and Validation of Two-Step Prediction Models for Postoperative Bedridden Status in Geriatric Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures.

Patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures are at an elevated risk of becoming bedridden compared with those with intraarticular hip fractures. Accurate risk assessments can help clinicians select postoperative rehabilitation strategies to mitigate the risk of bedridden status. This study aimed to develop a two-step prediction model to predict bedridden status at 3 months postoperatively: one model (first step) for prediction at the time of admission to help dictate postoperative rehabilitation plans; and another (second step) for prediction at the time before discharge to determine appropriate discharge destinations and home rehabilitation programs.

The application of inverted lateral clavicle locking compression plate for medial clavicle fractures: biomechanical study and clinical implementation.

Background: There has been no absolute consensus on the optimal implant for fixation of medial clavicle fracture. The purpose of the present study was to test the biomechanical efficacy of inverted lateral clavicle locking compression plate (LCP-LC) in fixation of this specific fracture location by finite element analysis.

Methods: Transverse and comminuted medial clavicle fracture simulated models stabilized by three different devices including inverted LCP-LC, superior clavicle LCP (LCP-SC), and dual reconstruction (LCP-RP) with LCP-SC were investigated biomechanical performance under three loading conditions, i.

Silent iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm after intertrochanteric fracture fixation with proximal femoral nailing and cerclage wiring: case report and review of literature.

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after intertrochanteric fracture fixation. Herein, we present a rare case of late development of a pseudoaneurysm with silent clinical symptoms. The case was a 91-year-old woman treated with proximal femoral nailing and cerclage wiring.

Danger zone for screw placement in minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of diaphyseal fractures of forearm: a cadaveric study.

Purposes: To identify the anatomical relationship between neurovascular structures and screws and to evaluate the danger zone of screw placement during minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique following the volar approach for the radius and the subcutaneous approach for the ulna in diaphyseal forearm fractures.

Methods: Sixteen cadaveric forearms were fixed with a 3.5-mm, 14-hole, locking compression plate (LCP) using the MIPO technique with a volar approach of the radius.

Surgical treatment of osteochondroma on the first rib by double clavicle osteotomy and internal fixation with a reconstruction plate: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: The accepted indication for surgical removal of osteochondroma is when a lesion becomes symptomatic. There have been no established standard surgical approaches to remove osteochondroma on the first rib and no report on management after that. This report aims to present a novel approach by double clavicle osteotomy followed with internal fixation.
