Should Kirschner wires for fixation of lateral humeral condyle fractures in children be buried or left exposed? A systematic review.

Background: Displaced lateral humeral condyle fractures in children are usually treated with open reduction and internal fixation. When treated operatively with Kirschner wires, the bent cut near side wire ends are either buried in the subcutaneous tissue or are left exposed. It is believed that burying the wires allows them to remain in longer and hence facilitate better union.

"Channel Lines": A Simple Surgical Technique to Aid in Achieving Patient-specific Ante-version During Implantation of Uncemented Acetabular Cups.

Accurate acetabular cup placement is a crucial step for a successful total hip replacement. Transverse acetabular ligament is an important and reliable landmark that helps in determining the version during the placement of acetabular cups. However, the visualization of transverse acetabular ligament may not be easy as the view may be blocked by the implants and the instruments.

Incidence of fracture-healing complications after femoral neck fractures.

What is the relationship between the age or gender of the patient and the incidence of fracture-healing complications after internal fixation of intracapsular fractures? We aimed to determine the association between the age of the patient and fracture nonunion and also to establish if the gender of the patient had any influence on the occurrence of fracture nonunion. We prospectively studied 1133 patients with intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck treated by internal fixation. The overall incidence of nonunion was 19.
