Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS) in the adult population is primarily trauma-induced. Conservative and surgical treatments have both been used successfully in treating AARS. In cases where AARS cannot be reduced by conservative measures, open reduction and fusion is the conventional treatment approach.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort.
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of trial versus standard clinical practice (SCP) patients following cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA).
Background: CDA is hypothesized to reduce the shear strain and related complications resulting from fusion procedures.

Background Numerous classifications exist for intertrochanteric (IT) fractures, commonly focused on stability. However, the currently utilized Arbeitsgemeinschaft Osteosynthesefragen and Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification has limitations in identifying irreducible fractures. This study aims to answer the following questions: does fracture stability imply irreducibility; which fracture fragments complicate reduction; and which reduction techniques should be employed? Materials and methods Eligibility criteria included fractures in adult long bones without pathological fractures being treated by native conservative means.

Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) can form after amputation and may cause pain and functional impairment. We aimed to describe the prevalence of HO in a civilian population of transtibial amputees. We hypothesized that the decreased rate of symptomatic neuroma following active nerve surgery (Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR) or Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI)) may subsequently lead to a lower prevalence of HO compared to passive nerve surgery (i.

Radial head subluxation (RHS), commonly known as 'nursemaid's elbow,' typically presents in pediatric patients with acute-onset unilateral arm pain and pseudoparalysis. The classic mechanism of injury involves a longitudinal traction force pulling the radial head through the annular ligament. Bilateral RHS is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases documented in the literature; notably, all cases with a provided history and physical exam presented with the classic mechanism of injury, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.
