To evaluate the clinical effect of auricular keloids resection combined with local injection of glucocorticoid and superficial X-ray treatment in order to identify a surgery-based, personalized, comprehensive treatment system.One hundred and sixty patients with auricular keloids were divided into four groups: surgery group, surgery combined with local injection of glucocorticoid group, surgery combined with superficial X-ray group and surgery combined with glucocorticoid and electron irradiation group (Triple therapy group). These groups were followed up for one year. Based on Darzi's criterion of keloid curative effect, the effect was judged and analyzed statistically.One year after operation, the effective rate of the surgery group was 52.5%, that of the surgery combined with glucocorticoid injection group was 80.0%, that of the surgery combined with the superficial X-ray group was 82.5%, and that of the triple therapy group was about 97.5%. The simple surgery group was significantly lower than the surgery combined with glucocorticoid injection group, the operation combined with superficial X-ray group and triple therapy group (< 0.01); the triple therapy group was better than the surgery combined with superficial X-ray group and surgery combined with glucocorticoid injection group, showing statistically significant differences (< 0.05); There was no statistical difference (> 0.05) between the surgery combined with glucocorticoid injection group and the surgery combined with superficial X-ray group.In the auricular keloids treatment, surgical resection with a poor curative effect is not recommended; triple therapy, which is better surgery combined with glucocorticoid local injection and surgery combined with superficial X-ray, should be used as the first line treatment. The overall response rate of surgery combined with glucocorticoid local injection and surgery combined with superficial X-ray is satisfactory. It should be individualized for use depending upon the situation.

There is a lack in understanding the reasons for different lengths of sick leave in patients who sustain ankle fractures. The aim of this study is to examine variations in the length of sick leave in ankle fracture patients and how treatment, type of ankle fracture and the patient-reported outcome are associated with the length of sick leave. In this study were data from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (SSIA) and the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR), combined.

For managing peri-implantitis, a variety of treatment modalities involving both surgical and nonsurgical methods including implantoplasty have been proposed. Implants that are placed in a free fibula flap are more prone to peri-implantitis due to the absence of firm, keratinized mucosa. Prosthetic design that offers adequate hygiene access should be designed whenever possible; otherwise, it may lead to the accumulation of plaque or biofilm that may lead to peri-implant diseases.

Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a new arthroscopic method for reconstructing the popliteus tendon (PT). This minimally invasive technique is performed through the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee, which can reconstruct the posterolateral rotary instability (PLRI) of the knee.

Methods: Thirty-nine patients (8 females, 31 males) with PLC injury and normal knee alignment underwent arthroscopic PT reconstruction.
