Purpose: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a vital knee stabilizer. While PCL injuries are rare, high-energy traumas can lead to total ruptures, with accompanying injuries requiring surgery. This study aims to investigate the demographics, concomitant injuries, and postoperative complications of patients who underwent PCL reconstruction due to high-energy trauma in a large patient sample.

- Supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs) in children are frequent and classified into Gartland types, with type 3 and 4 usually needing surgery; factors like injury severity and age affect the transition from closed to open reduction.
- A study of 159 children revealed that nearly 29% initially treated with closed reduction failed and required open reduction, with specific factors increasing this likelihood.
- The analysis found that while injuries varied, factors like medial spike angle and flexion type injuries significantly influenced the need for surgical intervention, while factors like sex and time to surgery did not show notable effects.
Source-Dependent Quality Variation in Shoulder Dislocation Videos on YouTube.

Purpose: To assess the quality of YouTube videos for patient education on shoulder dislocation.
Methods: A standard YouTube search was performed in March 2023 using the terms "shoulder dislocation," "dislocated shoulder," and "glenohumeral joint dislocation" to identify eligible videos. Multiple scoring systems, including DISCERN (a validated tool for analyzing the quality of health information in consumer-targeted videos), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Benchmark Criteria, and the Global Quality Score (GQS) were used to evaluate the videos.
Article Synopsis
- * 3D preoperative planning enhances precision in surgery, influences implant choice, and decreases errors, while navigation tools improve outcomes by reducing malpositioning and ensuring better stability of implants.
- * Emerging technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are revolutionizing the field, aiding in both preoperative planning and intraoperative execution, and enhancing orthopedic education through more realistic training experiences.
Background: Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is indicated when the anatomic and functional realignment of the hip joint is needed. Although the traditional approach for TPO involves a separate incision for ischial cut, there has been a trend for single-incision TPO in recent years. This study aims to compare the clinical and radiologic results of 2 different approaches.

Methods: Seventy-two patients (107 limbs) treated by an 8-plate hemiepiphysiodesis technique around the knee joint were evaluated. After the desired correction, only metaphyseal screw was removed (sleeper plate group) in 35 limbs (25 patients), whereas both screws and plate were removed (plate removal group) in 72 limbs (47 patients).
Purpose: Complex rigid foot deformities include three-plane deformities and usually presents with poor soft tissue coverage. In the last decades, gradual correction with computer-assisted fixator became an appropriate option for the treatment rigid foot deformities. This study aims to report our experience about treatment of complex foot deformities using Smart Correction fixator system®.
