Purpose Of The Study: Intraarticular fractures of the distal femur rank among the most severe musculoskeletal injuries. Various treatment options, such as plate osteosynthesis or retrograde nailing, can be employed. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of intraarticular distal femoral fractures treated with retrograde femoral nail, with particular emphasis on C3 fractures.

Purpose: To evaluate the maximal load to failure, cyclic displacement, stiffness, and modes of failure of onlay subpectoral biceps tenodesis with an intramedullary unicortical metal button (MB) versus an inlay, all-suture Caspari-Weber (CW) technique.
Methods: Sixteen matched paired human cadaveric proximal humeri were randomly allocated for subpectoral BT with either CW or MB using a high-strength suture (N = 16; 8 male, 8 female, mean age = 82.5 years, range 62-99 years).

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.

Intramedullary nail fixation is a routine procedure for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. Aseptic technique is vital for reducing postoperative complications, as intraoperative glove perforations increase the risk of surgical site infections. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of surgical glove perforation during intramedullary nailing of intertrochanteric fractures and to identify surgery-specific steps at risk.

: Most metacarpal fractures are isolated, simple, closed, and stable fractures and located distally. They are often caused by accidental falls, strikes by humans, by objects or traffic accidents. The majority can be treated conservatively.
