Fibula fixation is not associated with a higher rate of wound complications during pilon fracture open reduction internal fixation.

Introduction: There is a lack of consensus regarding indications for fibula fixation in pilon fractures. Reduction of the fibula fracture can assist with restoring lateral column length and reduction of the tibial plafond during pilon ORIF. However, there are theoretical concerns with wound complications and soft tissue insult.

Short-Term Morbidity and Mortality after Distal Femur Open Reduction Internal Fixation in the Geriatric Population.

Objective: Distal femur fractures remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for elderly patients. There is a lack of large population studies investigating short-term outcomes after distal femur c in elderly patients. The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of and risk factors for various short-term outcomes after distal femur open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in the geriatric population.

Extrapulmonary, Chronic Septic Arthritis From Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the Ankle and Subtalar Joints.

Posterior Wall Acetabular Fracture After Low-Energy Trauma Masquerading as Infection: A Case Report.

Case: A 12-year-old adolescent boy presented after a low-energy fall with groin pain, inability to bear weight, painful passive range of motion, fever, elevated inflammatory markers, and upper respiratory symptoms. Initial radiographs did not demonstrate any abnormality, and magnetic resonance imaging suggested infection.
