Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

Introduction: Aseptic nonunion is prevalent in orthopedic practice, causing persistent pain and functional impairment. Humeral shaft fractures, accounting for 3-5% of all fractures, have nonunion rates of 2-33% in nonoperative and 5-10% in surgical management. This study, the largest case series on operative management of aseptic humeral shaft nonunion (AHSN), treated with plate osteosynthesis.

Objectives: Previous studies reported various methods of measuring fracture toughness of dental ceramics. The objectives of this study were to compare different methods and to validate fractal analysis to estimate fracture toughness for a polycrystalline dental ceramic.
Methods: Bar-shaped specimens were prepared from 3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal polycrystalline (3Y-TZP) ceramic.

Case: A 30-year-old man presented with left proximal tibia fracture (open Grade 3A) and a transverse lateral malleolus fracture (Weber B) following direct impact injury. Computed tomography revealed a rare posteromedial tubercle fibula fracture at the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL) insertion, with syndesmosis disruption. Initial damage control included an external fixator.

Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are a common orthopedic challenge, particularly in older adults. Percutaneous pinning, a minimally invasive technique, aims to stabilize fractures while preserving soft tissue integrity. This study evaluates the functional and radiological outcomes of patients treated with percutaneous pinning at a single center over five years.
