Purpose: We introduce a new MIPPO procedure which is simple and effective for the treatment of extra-articular distal tibia facture (AO-43A). The aim of this retrospective study was to compare our modified MIPPO with IMN.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 64 patients treated with our modified MIPPO and 61 patients with IMN. The data of sex, age, operation time, blood loss, wound complications, mal-reduction, shortening and fracture healing was analyzed.
Results: The operation time was significantly shorter in the MIPPO group than in the IMN group (56.0min vs. 85.0min, P<0.001). There were 5 patients (8.2%) in the IMN group and 2 patients (3.1%) in the MIPPO group who had wound complications (P=0.399). Mal-reduction occurred in 17 patients (27.9%) managed with IMN and in 3 patients (4.7%) who had MIPPO (P<0.001). Furthermore, no patients had a left/right difference in the length of the tibia of >1cm and nonunion in both groups.
Conclusions: Our results have shown that our modified MIPPO has enormous advantages over IMN for extra-articular distal tibia fracture (AO-43A).

The management of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy in stage V chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing renal transplantation remains controversial. Some centers advocate for the use of reversal agents or procoagulants preoperatively, while others suggest that transplantation can proceed safely without halting these treatments. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications in the first 72 hours post-transplant in patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy compared to a control group without such treatments.

Objective: To determine the association between concurrent statin use with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and lung cancer-specific and overall mortality in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials And Methods: SEER-Medicare was used to conduct a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries ≥65 years of age diagnosed with NSCLC between 2007 and 2017 treated with an ICI. Patients were followed from date of first ICI claim until death, 1 month from last ICI claim, or 12/31/2018, whichever came first.
