Objective: To investigate the effect of operative treatment of scapular fractures through modified Judet approach.
Methods: From January 1997 to October 2005, 21 patients (15 females, 6 males; mean age 34 years) of scapular fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation through the modified Judet approach. According to Hardegger classification system, there were 11 patients of scapular body fractures, 10 patients of scapular neck fractures, 8 patients of glenoid rim fractures, 7 patients of glenoid fossa fractures, 9 patients of scapular spine fractures, and 6 patients of scapular acromion fractures.
Results: Eighteen patients were followed up with an average of 21 months (range 6 months-4 years). According to Rowe scores system, 12 patients showed excellent, 3 showed good, 2 showed fair, and 1 showed poor.
Conclusions: The modified Judet approaches have the advantages of wide exploration, safety, and easy fixation. It is a good choice to the operation for most types of scapular fractures through the modified Judet approach.

Impact of Patient-Specific Hip Joint Geometry on the Morphology of Acetabular Fractures.

Clinic for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, University Hospital of Bonn, 53127 Bonn, Germany.
: Acetabular fractures continue to pose a major challenge in clinical practice, not least because of the growing geriatric population. While the influence of the force vectors on fracture formation is well established, the impact of anatomical factors on fracture morphology remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate patient-specific hip joint geometry, identify structural risk factors and correlate these with the resulting fracture patterns.

Backgroud: Acetabular fractures are rare and challenging to treat, and the surgeon's learning curve for managing these fractures is steep. The incidence of acetabular fractures is low, making it difficult to conduct single-surgeon, single-center studies. Therefore, multi-surgeon and multi-center studies may produce inconsistent outcomes compared to those of single-surgeon, single-center studies.

Objective: To investigate the application experiences and effectiveness of the infra-acetabular screw (IAS) placement technique in acetabular fracture surgery.
Methods: A clinical data of 34 patients with complex acetabular fractures with anterior and posterior columns separation, who were admitted between January 2019 and October 2023 and treated with IAS fixation, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 23 males and 11 females with an average age of 55.

Article Synopsis
- Scapular glenoid fractures, often treated surgically through various approaches, pose challenges in accessing the superior glenoid area; a new technique involving anterior lateral flipping of acromion fractures aims to improve visibility during surgery.* -
- A study of five patients (aged 23-54) treated between June 2018 and May 2023 showed that all fractures healed within an average of 4.3 months, with no postoperative complications reported.* -
- At follow-up, shoulder function scores averaged 91.4 points, indicating good to excellent recovery, supporting the effectiveness of this new surgical approach.*
Thompson Versus Judet Techniques for Quadricepsplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Outcomes and Complications.

Background: Quadricepsplasty has been used for over half a century to improve range of motion (ROM) in knees with severe arthrofibrosis. Various surgical techniques for quadricepsplasty exist, including Judet and Thompson, as well as novel minimally invasive approaches. The goal of this review was to compare outcomes between quadricepsplasty techniques for knee contractures.
