Comminuted fractures of the mandible are unusual but not rare. They are complex injuries with a high complication rate. Gunshot wounds are a frequent cause. Traditional management with closed techniques is noted for good long-term results, but may involve an extended period of treatment. Treatment with open reduction and rigid internal fixation significantly shortens the course of treatment and simplifies the convalescence.

Background: The lateral locking plate for the proximal humerus is currently the most commonly used surgical procedure for the treatment of elderly proximal humeral comminuted fractures. Previous studies have found that the rate of postoperative complications in patients of proximal humerus fractures with medial column involvement is relatively high. Through biomechanical methods, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the conventional lateral locking plate fixation along with the addition of the metacarpal supporting plate on the medial column in the treatment for proximal humeral fractures involving the medial column.

Methods: Design: Retrospective review.
Setting: Level 1 Trauma Center.
The authors present the case of a six-year-old boy with a fractured right distal radius and ulna, causing mildly comminuted displaced angulated fractures of the right distal radial and ulnar metaphyses. Pediatric wrist fractures are amongst the most common fractures seen in children, making up 25% of all pediatric fractures. These fractures disrupt growth patterns and can lead to long-term adverse effects.

Objective: To explore changes of humerus torque screw tip distance on stability of proximal humeral internal locking system (PHILOS) by finite element analysis, in order to provide reference for selection of intraoperative plant size.
Methods: The proximal humerus 3D model was constructed based on Synbone artificial bone model in 3D engineering drawing software, and the corresponding 3D model was constructed based on PHILOS bone plate contour. The model was modified to simulate comminuted proximal humerus fracture, and the operation model was simulated after fracture, and the fixed operation model was assembled, the apex distance of humerus moment screw was set as 4, 8, 12 and 16 mm respectively.

Background: Many researchers have proposed incorporating orbital volume (OV) discrepancies between the affected and unaffected orbits into routine diagnostic processes as an indicator for early surgical repair of zygomatic complex fractures (ZMCFxs) to avoid postoperative ocular complications.
Purpose: The study aimed to determine the correlation between the preoperative OV discrepancy and postoperative globe position.
Study Design, Setting, Sample: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients with unilateral ZMCFxs associated with orbital floor fractures, treated at Al-Zahraa Hospital, Al-Azhar University, from January 2020 to July 2023.
