Galeazzi fracture in skeletally immature patients is a relatively uncommon injury. No previously published case has been associated with an iatrogenic mechanism. Here, we report a case of a 10-year-old boy with a minimally displaced distal radius fracture evolving into a Galeazzi lesion after unnecessary surgical treatment. Unnecessary surgical procedure associated with poor knowledge of bone growth and physiology contributed significantly to the reported condition.

Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Beijing, 100035, P. R. China.

Objective: To explore effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted screw implantation in the treatment of coracoid process fractures of the scapula.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data from 24 patients with coracoid process fractures of the scapula admitted between September 2019 and January 2024 and met selection criteria. Among them, 12 patients underwent TiRobot-assisted screw implantation (robot group) and 12 underwent manual screw implantation (control group) during internal fixation.

Aim: Minimally-invasive spinal surgery is increasingly being adopted worldwide. In this study, we evaluated the postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent full endoscopic lumbar disk surgery.

Methods: Preoperative and postoperative 3rd and 6th month MRI features, visual analog scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and clinical features of patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy between August 2009 and January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is more effective for diagnosing and treating solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). It is sometimes difficult to localize through use of minimally invasive techniques. We evaluated the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of a novel localization method for SPNs.

Objective: Soft tissue defects and postoperative wound healing complications related to calcaneus fractures may result in significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether percutaneous minimally invasive screw internal fixation (PMISIF) can change this situation in the treatment of calcaneal fractures, and aimed to explore the mechanical effects of different internal fixation methods on Sanders type III calcaneal fractures through finite element analysis.

Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on 83 patients with Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures from March 2017 to March 2022.

Synthesis and functional screening of novel inhibitors targeting the HDAC6 zinc finger ubiquitin-binding domain.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a promising target for treating neurodegenerative disorders, several cancer types and viral infections. Unique among HDACs, the HDAC6 isoform possesses a zinc finger ubiquitin-binding domain (UBD) crucial for managing misfolded protein aggregates and facilitating viral infection. HDAC6 binds aggregated polyubiquitinated proteins through its UBD, mediating their transport to the aggresome and subsequent removal via autophagy.
