The Chance fracture occurs frequently in school-aged patients' population and is related to flexion-distraction injury in motor vehicle accidents. It is so called seat-belt syndrome because the seatbelt lies over the abdomen. After sudden deceleration bends the child around the lap belt causing injuries to the abdomen, and the spine (e.g., Chance fracture). The Chance fracture after a low energy fall in elderly patient's population has rarely been reported. We present an 82 years old patient who suffered unrecognized Chance fracture after a low energy fall. The management of this patient with positive sagittal imbalance and previous arthrodesis consisted of decompression, Smith-Petersen osteotomy and posterior pedicle screw instrumentation.

The Association Between Nutritional Risk and Bone Stiffness in Elderly Men and Women in a Population-Based Study in Northeast Germany.

Background: The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) has shown promising potential for identifying individuals at risk for osteoporosis in various patient cohorts. However, data from the general population confirming or refuting the usefulness of the GNRI as a risk factor for osteoporosis are sparse. We therefore aimed to clarify whether the GNRI is associated with the ultrasound-based bone stiffness index and the osteoporotic fracture risk in a sample of elderly men and women from the general population.

Background: Thoracolumbar (TL) fractures are uncommon injuries in the pediatric population. Surgery is recommended for TL fractures with significant deformity, posterior ligamentous complex disruption, or neurological compromise. The Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Scale (TLICS) has been validated in pediatric populations and serves as a valuable tool for guiding treatment decisions.

Surgical procedures of curettage and surgical resection are used to treat giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal radius, but it is still controversial whether one provides better functional outcomes than the other. The present study aims to determine and compare both procedures regarding complications, local recurrence, and mobility. A complete search of the applicable literature was done and independently assessed by three authors.
