A case of compound fracture of the articular eminence is presented. The injury was sustained as a result of direct trauma which also caused a mandibular symphyseal fracture. Management comprised repositioning and support of the fractured fragment by means of sutures and the application of intermaxillary fixation. There was no long-term limitation of mandibular movement nor was there neurological or hearing deficit as a result of either injury or treatment.

Background: The standard approach for addressing intra-articular calcaneal fractures involves open reduction with plate and screw fixation, with ongoing discourse regarding the application of grafts to address bone gaps. The aim of this study is the temporal comparison of the radiological and functional outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for intra-articular calcaneal fractures, with a specific focus on the use of bone grafts.
Methods: Thirty patients, comprising 13 with iliac grafts and 17 without, were enrolled in the study.
TREATMENT OF ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS WITH THE TRIPLE PROCEDURE: INTRA-ARTICULAR INJECTION WITH CORTICOSTEROIDS, HYDRODILATION AND SHOULDER MANIPULATION UNDER SEDATION.

Objective: There are several conservative treatment options for adhesive capsulitis (AC), but no previous study combines hydrodilation, corticosteroid injection and joint manipulation under sedation (triple procedure), followed by daily home exercises.
Methods: Patients included were evaluated before the procedure, at 30 days, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment in prospective cohort. The outcomes used were the ASES, UCLA, SANE, VAS scales and passive range of motion (ROM).
GAIT ASSESSMENT IN ANKLE FRACTURES WITH SYNDESMOSIS LESIONS UNDERGOING SURGERY.

Hospital Getulio Vargas, Departamento de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, do Hospital Getúlio Vargas, Recife, Pernambuco, PE, Brazil.
Introduction: The three-dimensional evaluation of patients in the gait laboratory is a diagnostic method that is gaining ground in various orthopedic pathologies and, in the case of ankle fractures, can more accurately detail the degree of joint limitation.
Objective: To present the importance of laboratory gait studies in the postoperative period of ankle fractures associated with syndesmosis ligament injuries, increasing the arsenal for assessing whether the surgical approach and outcome were satisfactory.
Methods: Case series of 13 patients who underwent surgical treatment for ankle fractures associated with syndesmosis injuries, evaluated postoperatively in the gait clinic using the BTS GAITLAB hardware program.

Introduction: Post-traumatic arthritis of elbow is a crippling condition that frequently develops after a serious joint injury. The condition is characterized by pain, rigidity, and diminished functionality, considerably affecting the quality of life of those impacted. Despite advancements in surgical and conservative management, the optimal treatment strategy remains elusive.

Introduction: This report describes the use of a combination of a retrograde femoral nail and distal femur locking plate for the treatment of an open intra-articular distal femur fracture in a 99-year-old female. The purpose of this report is to highlight that nail-plate fixation constructs can be performed percutaneously and expeditiously even in extremely old patients; therefore, patient age should not be a limiting factor in choosing this construct to allow for immediate weight-bearing.
Case Report: The patient was a 99-year-old female who presented to the emergency room after a fall.
