Background: The best treatment strategy for fractures to the posterior malleolus (PM) is still intensively debated. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the patient-rated outcome following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for fractures of the PM to either closed reduction using AP screws (CRIF) or no treatment in bi- or trimalleolar ankle fractures.
Methods: Systematic literature research (MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL, Scopus, Central and EMBASE) according to the PICOS and PRISMA guidelines.
Fracture pattern analysis of fractures to the diaphysis of the fifth metatarsal.

Background: Fractures to the fifth's metatarsal (MT-V) diaphysis are common. These are inconsistently referred to as diaphyseal-, shaft-, or Dancer's fractures. A comprehensive analysis of the MT-V fracture morphology is missing.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the epidemiology of isolated metatarsal fractures in adults at a trauma center, emphasizing the need for broader data beyond specific fracture types.
- Over five years, 642 patients met inclusion criteria, revealing that single fractures commonly affected the fifth metatarsal, particularly in younger adults during summer months, while multiple fractures primarily impacted older patients.
- Findings indicated distinct differences based on age, gender, and the mechanism of injury, highlighting the variations in fracture patterns and the impact of high-energy trauma on multiple fractures.*
Background: Metatarsal fractures are among the most common foot and ankle injuries, with an annual incidence of 6.7 per 100 000 persons. Approximately 30% of metatarsal fractures affect the base of the fifth metatarsal bone.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate any potential differences in eye movement pattern in observers exposed to images showing a face without and with a facecover to identify if there is truly a change of gaze when identifying (masked) facial features.
