Root Repair Versus Partial Meniscectomy for Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tears: Comparison of Long-term Survivorship and Clinical Outcomes at Minimum 10-Year Follow-up.

Background: The importance of repair in medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) has been increasingly recognized because it restores hoop tension. However, no study has compared the long-term outcomes between meniscectomy and repair.

Hypothesis: Survivorship and clinical outcomes of repair would be better than those of meniscectomy after long-term follow-up.

Outcomes Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation in Proximal Phalangeal Fracture with Rotational Malalignment.

The rotational malalignment in proximal phalanx fracture is unacceptable. Authors attempted to describe clinical and radiographic outcomes as well as complications after open reduction and internal fixation with screw only or plate for phalangeal fractures accompanied by rotational malalignment. Authors conducted a retrospective review of 46 patients who had been treated between Jan.

Extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture caused by a displaced dorsal "beak" fragment of Lister's tubercle in distal radius fractures.

Introduction: Ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon are a well-known complication of distal radius fractures (DRF). There are a lot of suspected mechanisms, including mechanical friction, vascular impairment, injury associated with reduction, and local adhesion. However, there have been limited reports about a closed rupture of the EPL tendon associated with a relatively large, displaced dorsal "beak" fracture fragment.
