Metallosis following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for fracture, usually presenting as a soft tissue mass, is barely discussed in the literature. In this case report, the imaging and pathological findings of metallosis after ORIF for a humeral fracture are presented and comprehensively discussed.

Is there an impact of surgeon's experience on in-hospital outcome in patients with operatively treated proximal humerus and humerus shaft fractures?
Surg Pract Sci
March 2025
Division of Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Zurich (USZ), University of Zurich (UZH), Raemistrasse 100, 8091 Zuerich, Switzerland.
Background: Proximal humerus and shaft fractures are common, comprising 10-11 % of all fractures. Progress in their management includes refined surgical techniques and implants, coupled with a deeper understanding of fracture patterns.
Aims: This study examines the effect of surgical education on in-hospital outcomes for operatively treated proximal and humerus shaft fractures, aiming to enhance patient care and results.

Background: The main treatment methods for humeral shaft fractures include minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), intramedullary nailing (IMN), open reduction and internal fixation (ORF), and non-operative treatment (NonOP). However, the optimal treatment plan remains unclear. This article utilizes a network meta-analysis to compare the therapeutic effects of MIPO, IMN, ORF, and NonOP for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures.

Introduction And Importance: Multifocal fractures in a single upper extremity represent a significant clinical challenge, often resulting from high-energy impacts such as motor vehicle accidents or severe falls. These injuries require complex, multifaceted approaches in management, spanning initial acute care to long-term rehabilitation. This paper examines the complexities of diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating multifocal upper extremity fractures, highlighting the importance of timely intervention and a multidisciplinary approach to maximize functional recovery, minimize long-term disability and the prognosis.

Purpose: This systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression aims to determine whether surgical treatment for proximal humeral fractures is superior to non-surgical treatment regarding pain, functionality, complications, and new surgery rates.
Methods: We systematically reviewed clinical trials from PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane up to April 2024. Data comparing surgical or conservative of proximal humeral fractures were retrieved for outcomes of pain, functionality, adverse events, and new surgeries.
Postoperative dorsal step-off predicts olecranon osteotomy union: a retrospective cohort study.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
December 2024
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, USA.
Purpose: Olecranon osteotomy has been associated with loss of reduction, nonunion, implant failure, and migration of wires. We aim to evaluate quality of reduction of the osteotomy site as a predictor of olecranon osteotomy nonunion.
Methods: One hundred and twenty-five distal humerus fractures that underwent open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) were reviewed.
