Background: The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool to assess the overall health of older adults. There are few reports of CFS and prognosis of ankle fracture. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive power of the CFS for adverse clinical and radiographic outcomes after surgery in elderly patients with trimalleolar fractures.

Management of ankle fractures necessitating surgery is impacted by soft tissue swelling, often delaying open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Subjective evaluations are inconsistent, and traditional measurement methods are often inaccurate or impractical. This prospective observational study included 17 adults with unilateral closed ankle fractures requiring surgical fixation.

Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of prophylactic embolization of the internal iliac artery (IIA) or superior gluteal artery (SGA) before open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in reducing intraoperative blood loss (IBL) in hemodynamically stable patients with complex acetabular fractures.
Materials And Methods: A total of 136 patients with complex acetabular fractures were retrospectively included and divided into the prophylactic transcatheter arterial embolization (PTAE) group and non-PTAE group, depending on whether ipsilateral IIA or SGA was embolized using coils within 3 days before ORIF. Demographic characteristics, injury severity score (ISS), fracture classification, and intraoperative and postoperative data were compared between the two groups.

Anterior cervical fixation is an excellent surgical technique for the removal of anterior compressive elements affecting the spinal cord and nerve roots while addressing cervical instability. However, it is important to recognize the unique challenges posed by the proximity of critical structures, including the trachea, esophagus, carotid sheath, and recurrent laryngeal nerve. Access to the upper cervical spine is often limited to the mandible.

Case: A 30-year-old man presented with left proximal tibia fracture (open Grade 3A) and a transverse lateral malleolus fracture (Weber B) following direct impact injury. Computed tomography revealed a rare posteromedial tubercle fibula fracture at the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) insertion, with syndesmosis disruption. Initial damage control included an external fixator.
