Miniplate fixation on the lateral face of the orbital rim using existing endoscopic methods for frontozygomatic fracture still has some disadvantages, such as cosmetic disturbance from the lateral brow incision for the trocar, and abnormal palpability of the miniplate. We applied a new method of endoscopic osteosynthesis by access through temporal incisions alone and miniplate fixation on the lateral temporal face of the frontozygoma. Postoperative courses were uneventful in all four cases treated, and we achieved cosmetic improvement (minimizing incision and scars) as well as decreased palpability of the miniplate.

Outcomes of internal rib fixation through complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for multiple rib fractures and flail chest in severe chest trauma.

Background: Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is a standard treatment for multiple rib fractures and flail chest. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of internal rib fixation through complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for multiple rib fractures and flail chest in patients with severe chest trauma.
Methods: Thirty-nine patients with multiple rib fractures caused by severe chest trauma were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach used.
Unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression combined with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation offers new treatment option for thoracolumbar burst fractures with secondary spinal stenosis.

Department of Orthopaedics, The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Yiwu, China.
The purpose of this study was to present the surgical technique of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) decompression combined with percutaneous pedicle screws for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with secondary spinal stenosis. Thoracolumbar burst fracture is a common traumatic disease in spinal surgery. In the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classification of thoracolumbar fractures, Type A fractures have the highest incidence, accounting for about 70%, with A1 and A3 types being the most common.

Endoscopic techniques have been widely used in orthopedic surgery, such as arthroscopy and transforaminal endoscopy, but the application in fracture is rarely reported. We reported a case of a 69-year-old male with pelvic fracture (AO/OTA type B2.1) who underwent successful laparoscopy-assisted pubic ramus plate fixation without auxiliary incision.

Background: Bennett's fracture, a fracture-dislocation of the base of the first metacarpal, poses significant challenges due to the unique biomechanics of the thumb's carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. Effective management is critical to restoring thumb function and preventing long-term complications such as arthritis and instability.
Objective: This article provides a comprehensive overview of Bennett's fracture, including its mechanism of injury, diagnostic considerations, and management strategies, with a focus on conservative and surgical options.

Introduction: Septic nonunion is one of the most feared complications in traumatology. Two-stage management using the induced membrane technique is a validated treatment option, but to date there is no consensus on the ideal type of osteosynthesis for the second stage of surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the results of two-stage treatment of tibial septic nonunion, depending on the type of osteosynthesis used.
