Risk of Volar Locking Plate Removal After Distal Radius Fractures: Time-to-Event Analysis.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to describe the rate of volar locking plate (VLP) removal after distal radius fracture and how long it takes for the risk of VLP removal to stabilize. The secondary purpose was to describe the reasons for VLP removal and analyze the relationship between it and the Soong index.

Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study.

Subtalar arthroereisis in pediatric flexible flat foot: Functional and radiographic results with 5 years of average follow-up.

The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the clinical-functional and radiographic results in pediatric patients with painful and disabling Flexible Flat Foot (FFF) refractory to conservative treatment who underwent percutaneous subtalar arthroereisis with a Maxwell Brancheau Arthroereisis® (MBA) implant. Patients aged 8-14 years old with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were included. A pre and postoperative radiographic evaluation was carried out analyzing Meary's angle, internal Moreau-Costa-Bartani´s angle, Talar declination angle, Calcaneal Pitch, Kite's angle, Talar-1st metatarsal angle, and Talonavicular coverage angle.

[Conservation surgery and early rehabilitation in massive necrotizing fasciitis of the lower limbs].

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening infection. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Reconstruction techniques and rehabilitation protocols have been poorly described.
