Introduction: Gas gangrene, is an aggressive and life-threatening necrotizing infection of soft tissues. We report a case of upper-limb trauma resulting in clostridial gas gangrene.
Case Report: A 36-year-old healthy male presented to our department with a left humeral shaft fracture and an open elbow fracture.
Rehabilitation for patients sustaining isolated and multiple musculoskeletal injuries due to trauma remains a mainstay of recovery. There are a wide variety of systems in place to manage the rehabilitation process. This article describes the post-traumatic rehabilitation procedures from 2 member countries of the International Orthopaedic Trauma Association, Israel and South Africa.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at an academic level 1 trauma center, including 579 patients aged over 65 who suffered from isolated low-energy pelvic fractures between 2006 and 2020. Pelvic computer tomography (CT) scans, with or without contrast, were performed and reviewed for patients with suspected posterior ring injury or bleeding.
Osteotomy Site Venting Enhances Femoral Bone Consolidation With Magnetic Intramedullary Lengthening Nails.

Article Synopsis
- Magnetic intramedullary lengthening nailing offers advantages over external fixation for femoral bone lengthening, such as reducing discomfort and minimizing risks of infections and muscle issues.
- A retrospective study aimed to investigate whether venting the femoral intramedullary canal enhances bone regeneration quality and affects complication rates compared to nonventing procedures.
- The study analyzed 61 femoral lengthening surgeries and evaluated outcomes like bone healing time and complications, revealing that the relationship between venting and consolidation of bone remains uncertain.
This study aimed to examine the incidence rate of early reoperations following hip fracture surgery and determine the safety of resuming direct oral anticoagulants. Many orthopedic surgeons are reluctant to resume chronic anticoagulation therapy for patients after surgical intervention for hip fractures. One of the main reasons is the potential for reoperation in the case of surgical complications.
