There are many good reasons to improve the anatomy of a distal radius fracture, such as early return to function and avoidance of sigmoid notch incongruity or ulnocarpal impaction. It is often feared by patients, and portrayed by some authors of scientific articles and medicolegal reports, that a fracture of the distal radius has a propensity to cause symptomatic osteoarthritis. This article examines some of the current evidence and shares the authors' experience.

Article Synopsis
  • Fractures of the proximal ulna and radial head often arise from falls or direct impacts, affecting elbow stability and function with symptoms like pain and limited motion.
  • The common clinical scenario involves radial head dislocation accompanied by a proximal ulna fracture, known as a Monteggia fracture-dislocation.
  • This study examines the surgical treatment of a patient with these fractures and their subsequent physical therapy follow-up.

Risk factors for complications following volar locking plate fixation of distal radial fractures.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on distal radial fractures and the complications associated with volar locking plate (VLP) fixation, which can lead to implant removal.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 2951 patients, identifying intrinsic (like age and fracture type) and extrinsic (such as plate positioning) risk factors for complications post-fixation.
  • Key findings revealed that being under 62 years old, having a specific type of fracture, and the plate's positioning were significant risk factors for complications that might necessitate implant removal.

Article Synopsis
  • Pedicle ossification is a rare complication that can occur after using a fibular free flap (FFF) for mandibular reconstruction, potentially simulating tumor recurrence and leading to diagnostic challenges.
  • A case study of a 38-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma highlighted how postoperative complications led to the need for FFF reconstruction, and over 4 years, CT scans showed ossification in the flap's vascular pedicle, yet the patient remained asymptomatic.
  • Regular imaging and clinical assessments are key to distinguishing ossification from tumor recurrence, with surgery usually only considered if symptoms arise.

Hot dry rock (HDR) is a novel green, low-carbon energy. Its development requires the creation of fracture channels in deep thermal reservoirs. Traditional methods such as hydraulic fracturing have limited effectiveness in reservoir stimulation, so a method of liquid nitrogen cold shock was proposed.
