Background: Olecranon fractures account for 8 ∼ 10% of all elbow fractures and usually require surgical intervention. Tension band wiring (TBW) is considered as the standard treatment while it is associated with high re-operation rates.
Objective: This study aims to compare the functional outcomes, complications and re-operations of hook plate fixation (HPF) versus TBW in treating Mayo Type II olecranon fractures.

Background: The FRAIL scale is a concise and user-friendly tool for frailty assessment. However, its effectiveness in predicting 1-year mortality among older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between preoperative frailty, as measured by the FRAIL scale, and 1-year mortality after surgery in this population.

Myelomatous bone disease is a complication characterized by lytic bone lesions, reduced bone formation, bone pain, and increased fracture risk. Understanding these underlying mechanisms is crucial for developing effective therapeutic approaches. Here we show the role of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in bone lesions induced by myeloma cells.

Fractures involving the mandibular condyle are a significant subset of mandibular fractures, demanding specialized implant design considerations for effective surgical treatment. The core objective of this study was to assess the clinical and radiographic results in patients treated with a single rhombic-shaped implant according to the surgical approach used. This retrospective cohort investigation, spanning a ten-year recruitment window, included individuals with unilateral fractures who underwent surgical treatment with a rhombic-shaped implant.
