We present a case involving a 36-year-old male who experienced a nail gun injury to the posterolateral knee, leading to intraoperative nail removal. We observed bisection of the common peroneal nerve during the procedure with tethering, fortunately without any functional or sensory deficits.

Introduction: Early operative intervention in orthopaedic injuries is associated with decreased morbidity and mortality. Relevant process measures (e.g.

- Asymptomatic bone marrow edema (BME) is observed in high-level athletes, particularly in dance, and may indicate the bone's adaptation to specific biomechanical stresses.
- This study aimed to determine how common asymptomatic BME is among professional dancers, relate it to their demographic and training details, and compare it with functional foot and ankle scores.
- Results indicated that 54% of ankles examined showed evidence of talar BME, with the most affected area being the posterior talus, but no significant functional differences were found between dancers with and without BME.
Background: This investigation's purpose was to perform a systematic review of the literature examining the biomechanics of the ligaments comprising the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with specific attention to their resistance to translational and rotational forces. Although current syndesmosis repair techniques can achieve an anatomic reduction, they may not reapproximate native ankle biomechanics, resulting in loss of reduction, joint overconstraint, or lack of external rotation resistance. Armed with a contemporary understanding of individual ligament biomechanics, future operative strategies can target key stabilizing structure(s), translating to a repair better equipped to resist anatomic displacing forces.

Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the incremental health care costs of depression in patients with spine pathology and offer insight into the drivers behind the increased cost burden.
Summary Of Background Data: Low back pain is estimated to cost over $100 billion per year in the United States.
