AI Article Synopsis
- Current literature on orthopaedic traction methods is limited, despite older textbooks detailing various techniques.
- While complex traction schemes have been proposed, most are not widely used or backed by scientific research.
- There are multiple traction options for treating pelvic and lower extremity injuries, including portable devices and traction pins.
Article Abstract
Although methods of traction for temporizing and definitive treatment of orthopaedic injuries are described in dated textbooks, current literature and recommendations on the use of skin and skeletal traction in orthopaedic trauma are lacking. Elaborate traction schemas have been described, but few of them have been retained in practice and even fewer have been supported by scientific data. Several options exist for traction modalities that involve the pelvis and lower extremities, including portable traction devices and traction pins.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Guro Hospital, Korea University Medical Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Objectives: To compare the consolidation quality between the anteromedial aspect of regenerated bone (AMRB) and other areas of regenerated bone (TORB) following the induced membrane technique (IMT) for managing critical-sized tibial shaft bone defects, and determine the factors affecting consolidation quality in the AMRB.
Methods: Design: Retrospective comparative study.
Setting: Academic Level I trauma center.
Lateral Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
October 2024
North American Spine and Pain; Hainesport, New Jersey.
Case: We report a case of a 29-year-old woman who sustained a left lateral sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation. Imaging demonstrated a 30-mm gap between the sternum and medial clavicle. Given well-preserved shoulder range of motion and well-controlled pain, she was ultimately treated nonoperatively.

Clin Orthop Relat Res
December 2024
Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) has been implicated as a potential risk factor for adverse outcomes and readmissions in various surgical procedures. Patients admitted with an open fracture of the lower extremity often have multifarious pain needs, require surgical procedures, and have prolonged rehabilitation; previous OUD complicates this process. Our goal was to describe at a national level how OUD is associated with readmission, complications, and healthcare expenditure for patients admitted with open lower extremity fractures.

Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Musculoskeletal University Center Munich (MUM), University Hospital, LMU Munich, Marchioninistr, Munich, Germany.
Case: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a relatively rare but severe clinical finding around the hip joint, characterized by the formation of extraskeletal bone in soft tissue. We present the case of a 66-year-old man with a severe, painful gait disorder caused by extensive neurogenic bilateral HO. In this case, due to the medial HO localization, we performed a staged bilateral, combined HO resection and total hip arthroplasty using the single medial Ludloff approach.

JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kyoto City Hospital, Kyoto, Japan.
Case: We present 3 cases demonstrating radiographic posterior subluxation in lateral functional radiographs taken in the flexed-seated position. Two of the patients were asymptomatic, and 2 showed the posterior translation of the femoral head, which is almost a dislocation, with spontaneous reduction. The subluxation can occur not only in patients after lumbar fusion surgery but also in patients with relatively normal lumbar spine due to excessive hip flexion.
