The objective of this study was the evaluation of the therapeutic options in type II tibial intercondylar eminence fractures. Seventeen children were treated surgically. Open reduction, curettage of the fracture area and internal fixation were performed. The average follow-up was 3 years. No reduction in sport activities or instability have been noted. The average Lysholm score was 99.7 at the latest follow-up. We recommend the surgical procedure for type II tibial intercondylar eminence fractures in children. Surgical treatment with the curettage of the fracture area limits risks of residual knee laxity and could improve the risks of arthritis decompensation and meniscus lesion at long-term follow-up.

Background: Spacer-type tibial osteotomy have been proven a novel and effective osteotomy to treat osteoarthritis, while lack of comparison with other surgical methods in younger patients. This study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of spacer-type tibial osteotomy versus open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade 3-4 osteoarthritis (OA) in patients younger than 65 years.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed a total of 224 patients with K-L grade 3-4 knee OA treated from March 2018 to November 2020.
The Impact of Fibular Fixation Method on Pilon Fracture Healing.

Pilon fractures are associated with high-energy injuries, and there is presently much debate as to optimal fixation strategies and timing of intervention. There is little evidence comparing the type of fibular fixation during pilon fracture fixation. The purpose of this study was to compare fibular fixation methods in complex pilon injuries as it relates to pilon union rates and development of post-traumatic arthritis.

Distal tibia fractures are high-energy injuries characterized by a mismatch between standard plate designs and the patient's specific anatomical bone structure, which can lead to severe soft tissue damage. Recent advancements have focused on the development of customized metal plates using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. However, 3D-printed metal plates using titanium alloys have not incorporated a locking system due to the brittleness of these alloys.

The paper presents a detailed gross anatomical description of the elements of the pelvic limb in the African green monkey and provides comparative and differential elements on pelvic limb monkey osteology. The osteometric investigation adds value to the gross morphological and radiological investigation, adjoining metric data to the gross descriptive data set. The main methodology used was the gross morphological investigation, doubled by regular osteometrical and radiographical assessments.

Purpose: Guidelines for treatment of medium-sized posterior fragments in trimalleolar fractures are scarce and show varying advice. Recent trials comparing fixation and no fixation of posterior fragments, show no difference in outcomes one year postoperatively. This study compares functional outcome and development of osteoarthritis in patients with fixation of a posterior malleolar fracture to patients without fixation of the posterior malleolus fracture.
