A retrospective study was undertaken to see whether there was any difference in the time required and the accuracy of pin placement between slips pinned on a fracture table and those pinned on a radiolucent table. All patients were treated by single screw fixation of stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), 36 on a fracture table and 29 on a radiolucent table. Mean operating room time on the fracture table (63 minutes) was greater than that on the radiolucent table (51.2 minutes) (P <0.05). Mean surgery time for the fracture table (38.55 minutes) was greater than that on the radiolucent table (24.8 minutes) (P <0.05). The deviation of screw placement from the ideal for the two tables was not significantly different in the anteroposterior or lateral planes. The use of the radiolucent table, with manipulation of the limb to obtain lateral images of the hip, is a useful alternative to use of the fracture table for pinning of SCFE.

Introduction: Rib resection and remodeling have gained attention as cosmetic procedures to enhance body contours, particularly waist-to-hip ratio. Historically, rib resection has been used for medical reasons; however, plastic surgeons have recently adopted it for aesthetic purposes. However, concerns remain regarding the safety and effectiveness of the procedure, particularly due to the potential for complications, such as pneumothorax, chronic pain, and impaired respiratory function.

Introduction: Patients undergoing surgical procedures are often prone to developing acute stress disorder (ASD) postoperatively. Presently, oxytocin nasal spray has shown significant potential in the treatment of stress-related neuropsychiatric diseases. However, there are few reports on the use of oxytocin nasal spray in postoperative ASD, a condition that can potentially develop into a high-risk factor for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an uncommon, debilitating disorder often characterised by non-specific clinical manifestations, posing a significant diagnostic challenge. The tumours causing TIO can be minuscule and occur in unusual areas, further complicating diagnosis. This report details the case of a woman in her early 30s presenting with chronic pain who subsequently developed fragility fractures.

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.
