Purpose: Surgical management of the lateral end of clavicle fractures has been a challenge for orthopedic surgeons considering the high rate of non-union. There has been no right and wrong answer to these types of fractures and many methods discussed in the literature, but the 2 most used bony procedures are hook plate and locking plate with or without the use of supplementary soft tissue procedures. The available evidence, in this case, is scarce with questionable reliability.

Intraorbital foreign bodies (IOFBs) are a recognised complication of orbital trauma, but intraorbital wooden foreign bodies are rare and pose significant diagnostic and management challenges due to their radiolucency, high risk of infection and potential for severe inflammation. This case describes a rare presentation of a young boy who sustained orbital trauma after an 8-foot fall, resulting in a 5 cm × 3 cm wooden IOFB extending to the orbital apex with an associated sphenoid fracture. He presented with proptosis, an inferotemporal scleral indentation mimicking retinal detachment and a lateral infraorbital laceration.

A Single Lateral Hinge Screw Increased Resistance to Varus Stress After Medial Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy in a Synthetic Bone Model: a Biomechanical Analysis.

MedStar Lafayette Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC, USA; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, USA. Electronic address:

Purpose: To determine whether use of a tibial screw placed across the lateral tibial hinge results in significantly higher failure load compared with no lateral screw after medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO).

Methods: Twelve Sawbone tibias were used for the study. A MOWHTO was performed in each specimen using a computed tomography-based patient specific correction guide, and 6 specimens received a lateral hinge screw.

Introduction And Importance: Isolated humeral trochlear fractures are extremely rare compared to their capitellar counterparts. The articular notch of the olecranon and coronoid process typically protects the trochlea from direct trauma, as it lacks any direct muscular or ligamentous attachments. The mechanisms that lead to such fractures are still a topic of speculation.
