We present a case of a young female athlete with chronic knee instability and constitutional varus limb, in which the failure of an initial stabilising operation required multiple operations to correct the unstable varus knee: in particular valgus osteotomy and ligament reconstruction using contralateral patellar tendon were performed in two staged operations in order to minimise surgical aggression, optimise rehabilitation and prevent postop complications. The final result is evaluated according to the IKDC chart as normal category A.

Background: Locking plate fixation remains the mainstay of surgical fixation of unstable proximal humerus fractures, however rates of failure remain high. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors that could be used to predict the likelihood of fixation failure.
Method: Patients with proximal humerus fractures managed with locking plate fixation between 2010 and 2019 at a Level 1 trauma centre were included.

Helical plates used for proximal humeral shaft fracture fixation avoid the radial nerve distally as compared to straight plates. To investigate in a human cadaveric model the biomechanical competence of straight lateral plates versus 45° helical plates used for fixation of proximal comminuted humeral shaft fractures, eight pairs of human cadaveric humeri were instrumented using either a long straight PHILOS plate (Group 1) or a 45° helical plate (Group 2) for treatment of an unstable proximal humeral shaft fracture. All specimens were tested under non-destructive quasi-static loading in axial compression, internal and external rotation, and bending in four directions.

Osteoporosis and female sex are additional risk factors. The patient's age, the fracture, their overall health, the amount of time between the fracture and treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment, any concurrent medical care, and the stability of the fixation all affect how well the patient responds to treatment.

Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy has been established for treatment of medial symptomatic knee arthrosis with varus malalignment in young and elderly but active patients. To obtain satisfactory results, it is essential for surgeons performing osteotomy to identify, prevent, and treat potential intraoperative adverse events. Lateral hinge fracture (LHF) is the most common intraoperative complication while popliteus artery injury is rare but limb-threatening.

This study aims to answer the question: Which are superior-conventional or short femoral stems?. An Optymis stem was used as a short-femoral stem, and an Accolade II stem was used as a conventional-femoral stem. There were 95 patients in the short femoral stem group (Group 1) and 90 in the conventional stem group (Group 2).
