Pelvic fracture with urethral injury in girls is an uncommon entity that is usually associated with concomitant vaginal lacerations. Management options vary from immediate exploration and urethral anastomosis to delayed urethroplasty. We report our experience of managing a 10-year old girl presenting 6 months after a pelvic fracture with urethrovaginal injury and a completely obliterated urethral meatus managed successfully with a single-stage bladder tube repair.

Press-Fit Bone-Anchored Prosthesis for Individuals with Transtibial Amputation.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
May 2024
Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
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.

BJR Open
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden 2333ZA, The Netherlands.
Objectives: Determine the incidence, location, and features of insufficiency fractures (IFs) in sacral chordoma patients treated with high-dose radiation therapy (HDR) with(out) resection, relative to radiation therapy type and irradiation plans.
Methods: Clinical data, including details of all surgical procedures and radiotherapies of patients histologically diagnosed with sacral chordoma between 2008 and 2023 available at our database, were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria were as follows: availability of diagnostic, treatment planning and follow-up magnetic resonance and/or computed tomography scans, and completed treatment.
Effects of Prophylactic Coil Embolization of Pelvic Arteries on Surgical Outcomes in Hemodynamically Stable Patients with Complex Acetabular Fractures.
J Vasc Interv Radiol
January 2025
Department of Radiology; Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine; No. 600, Yishan Road; Shanghai, 200233, China. Electronic address:
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of prophylactic embolization of the internal iliac artery (IIA) or superior gluteal artery (SGA) before open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in reducing intraoperative blood loss (IBL) in hemodynamically stable patients with complex acetabular fractures.
Materials And Methods: A total of 136 patients with complex acetabular fractures were retrospectively included and divided into the prophylactic transcatheter arterial embolization (PTAE) group and non-PTAE group, depending on whether ipsilateral IIA or SGA was embolized using coils within 3 days before ORIF. Demographic characteristics, injury severity score (ISS), fracture classification, and intraoperative and postoperative data were compared between the two groups.
Food Insecurity Is Common in the Orthopaedic Trauma Population.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, IA (Willey, Miller, Temperly, Martin, Leary, Marsh, and Glass), Slocum Research and Education Foundation, Eugene, OR (Owen, Fitzpatrick, and Kirkpatrick), the Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg school of Public Health, Baltimore, MD (Reider), and the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN (Trochez, Wrenn, and Ponce).
Introduction: Food insecurity is the condition of limited access to healthy and safe food. Malnutrition resulting from food insecurity is a concern particularly in the surgical population due to the association with impaired healing. This aim of this study was to report the incidence and risk factors for food insecurity in the orthopaedic trauma population.

January 2025
Jackie and Gene Autry Children's Orthopedic Center, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, 4650 Sunset Blvd, MS69, Los Angeles, CA, 90027, USA.
Purpose: Determine if Sacral Alar-Iliac (SAI) screw diameter is associated with pelvic fixation failure in pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) treated with posterior spinal fusion (PSF).
Methods: NMS patients from a single institution who underwent PSF with bilateral SAI screw fixation from 2010 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical parameters, SAI screw sizes, and radiographic outcomes were analyzed.
