Article Synopsis
- Patients over 75 years old with distal radius fractures were analyzed to compare the short-term outcomes of surgical versus non-operative treatment, as previous data mainly focused on those over 65.
- The study included 74 patients, with 24 undergoing surgery and 50 receiving non-operative care, using assessments like range of motion, strength, and patient-reported outcomes to evaluate effectiveness.
- Results showed that surgery led to significantly better clinical outcomes at both 1.5 and 6 months, particularly in patients with displaced fractures, indicating that surgical intervention may be more beneficial for this older demographic.
Introduction: A fracture classification system should provide a reliable and reproducible means of communication between different parties. It should be logical and understandable, with few categories to memorize. The aim of this study was to determine the intra- and interobserver reliability of the Schatzker and Mayo classification systems for the assessment of proximal ulna fractures.

Hypothesis: Implantation of a primary cementless stem as first-line implant in 1-stage septic THAR provides results as good as those from a stem cemented with antibiotics in terms of infection resolution.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively examined 35 patients operated on for septic THAR with Avenir® cementless stem placement - between 2008 and 2018 at Besançon University Hospital - with a minimum follow-up of 2 years to define healing in the absence of infectious recurrence.
