Objective: To study the effect of Kirschner wire percutanous reduction and plaster external fixation for treatment of childern distal ulna-radius fractures.
Methods: From July 2010 to March 2012,37 children with distal ulna-radius fracture were treated by Kirschner wire percutanous reduction and plaster external fixation including 24 males and 13 females with an average age of 9.5 years old ranging from 6 to 13 years old. The course was 4 h to 3 d. The cause of fracture was all fall from height without other associated injuries.
Results: All patients were followed up from 1 to 6 months. The bone union times were from 21 to 42 d (means 31.5 d). All patients obtained bone union. No case has malunion. No case was received surgical operation. According to the Berton Scales,the result was excellent in 14 cases,good in 20 cases,fair in 3 cases.
Conclusion: Using Kirschner wire percutaneous reduction and plaster external fixation can achieve an effective reduction and fixation, which make the patients to exercise the upper extremity function as early as possible.

Press-Fit Bone-Anchored Prosthesis for Individuals with Transtibial Amputation.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech

Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

Background: Untreated cubitus varus results in cosmetic deformity as well as posterolateral rotatory instability at the elbow if longstanding. French osteotomy with its modifications is the most commonly done osteotomy and relies on a medial intact hinge and these osteotomies fail to address the lateral prominence. Intraoperative fixator assistance to adjust the translation and fine tune the osteotomy is a novel method to address the lateral prominence.

Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 31 Xinjiekou East Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, 100035, China.
Background: Olecranon fractures account for 8 ∼ 10% of all elbow fractures and usually require surgical intervention. Tension band wiring (TBW) is considered as the standard treatment while it is associated with high re-operation rates.
Objective: This study aims to compare the functional outcomes, complications and re-operations of hook plate fixation (HPF) versus TBW in treating Mayo Type II olecranon fractures.

Background: The aim of study was to biomechanically compare the fixation of Jones fracture using headless cannulated screw, tension band, and two Kirschner wires.
Methods: A total of 60 fourth-generation, fifth metatarsal synthetic bone models were divided into three groups according to the fixation techniques. A vertical load, oriented from plantar to dorsal and lateral to medial, was applied to the metatarsal specimen that were potted with molding material.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lateral closing wedge osteotomy with tension-band wire fixation for correcting cubitus varus deformity in pediatric patients. The primary objective was to assess the bone union rate, functional outcomes, and potential complications associated with this surgical approach.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 104 pediatric cases (ages 7-15) with post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity treated between January 2018 and December 2019 at the Pediatric Orthopedic Department.
