Purpose: Controversy remains about the ideal construct for certain olecranon fractures. The purpose of this study was to compare cost-effectiveness with the value driven outcomes tool between fixation strategies of olecranon fractures.
Methods: All surgically treated isolated proximal ulna fractures (CPT code 24,685) at a level 1 trauma center from 2013 to 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Distal fibula fractures involving the ankle are one of the most common fractures, often requiring open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws. The increased incidence of potential wound complications arising from open reduction methods led to a rejuvenated interest in the application of minimally invasive methods like intramedullary nailing of the fibula in the management of ankle fractures and isolated distal fibular fractures. A literature search was performed using Medline, Cochrane, and Embase from 1993 to 2023.

Introduction: The radial neck fractures in children are uncommon injures and more so in the settings of an associated elbow dislocation. Radial neck fracture, with 90° posterior rotation of the articular surface with respect to its normal axis, is a characteristic feature of rare Jeffery type 2 injury. This injury pattern is reported as sporadic reports or small series in the literature.
