The aim of the paper was to compare primary biomechanical stability of different arthrodesis screws (7.3 mm AO screw with and without washer, 6.5 mm Herbert screw and 6.5 mm Ideal Compression Screw (I.CO.S)). The work necessary to achieve an adequate compressive force with them was compared to the measurement with the AO screw with washer, because this method is for the time being the most commonly used one and is called the golden standard. Compressive force was measured indirectly, via screw tension measurement, with strain gauges method. From the measurements we calculated the work to reach a limit of 60 N and the ratios corresponding to the value of the golden standard: I.CO.S (35.2%), Herbert (89.0%), AO-screw without washer (116%). The I.CO.S showed superior results. Only in the case of extremely poor bone quality, a clear advantage of I.CO.S could be expected in practice.

Introduction: Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures of the tibia with ipsilateral tibial shaft represent a rare but challenging orthopedic injury, necessitating careful consideration of surgical interventions for optimal outcomes. This case report presents the successful management of tibial shaft fracture (proximal 1/3rd junction) along with ipsilateral PCL avulsion fracture of tibia using a novel approach using open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of tibial shaft with Locking compression plate (LCP) with cannulated cancellous screw and spiked washer fixation of PCL avulsion. There are no case reports or research articles available for the management of PCL avulsion fracture of tibia associated with ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture.

Background: The Latarjet and other bony augmentation procedures are commonly used to treat anterior shoulder instability in the setting of significant glenoid bone loss. Although several fixation strategies have been reported, the biomechanical strength of these techniques remains poorly understood.
Purpose: To perform a systematic review of the biomechanical strength of glenoid bony augmentation procedures for anterior shoulder instability.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of three types of internal fixation devices (L bone plate, T bone plate, and screw-washer) in treating lateral tibial plateau fractures.
- Following surgery, the T bone plate provided the best stability during rehabilitation, outperforming both the L bone plate and screw-washer designs.
- The L bone plate was stable initially but became less effective over time, while the screw-washer showed the least stability overall, highlighting the advantages of the T bone plate as a preferred option for surgeons.
Posterolateral corner and arcuate fractures can cause significant disruption to the stability and kinematics of the knee. This study aimed to determine the biomechanical performance of a novel spiked washer (SW) and intramedullary screw technique compared with a tension slide technique (TST) for the repair of arcuate fractures. Sixteen matched fresh-frozen cadaver knees underwent repair.
