Case: A 41-year old man fell from height sustaining displaced radial shaft and ulnar styloid fractures underwent open reduction internal fixation of the radius with early recognition of a radiocapitellar dislocation and longitudinal forearm instability in the early postoperative period. Revision surgery was performed 13 days postoperatively involving annular ligament reconstruction, elbow spanning external fixation, and distal radioulnar joint stabilization. Favorable functional and radiographic outcomes are shown at 1-year follow-up.

Background: Arthroscopic repair is recommended for patients with bony Bankart lesions to restore anterior shoulder stability and avoid recurrent glenohumeral instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients following arthroscopic bony Bankart repair using a single suture anchor fixation technique named the "door-locking" technique.
Methods: From January 2017 to February 2024, a consecutive series of 22 patients with acute bony Bankart lesions underwent shoulder arthroscopy.
External fixation is a powerful tool in orthopaedic trauma surgery. Beyond serving as provisional or temporizing fixation, external fixation has utility as an intraoperative reduction tool, adjunct to internal fixation, and definitive fixation. It is important to summarize the indications, techniques, and considerations of various roles of external fixation in orthopaedic trauma.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of three surgical management strategies for pilon fractures, including primary external fixation with delayed plating, external fixation with minimal internal fixation, and single-stage open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plating.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 34 patients with complex intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia (AO-OTA type 43-C) treated between June 2018 and December 2019. Patients were managed surgically based on the local skin condition and swelling, employing either primary-stage external fixation with delayed plating (Group A), external fixation with minimal internal fixation (Group B), or single-stage ORIF with plating (Group C).

Background Long-term follow-up data are difficult to collect, especially in uncommon foot injuries. Therefore, it is rare to find publications that include patient-reported outcomes. Therefore, a case series and systematic review are provided to evaluate mid- and long-term outcomes.
