Background: The aim of study was to biomechanically compare the fixation of Jones fracture using headless cannulated screw, tension band, and two Kirschner wires.

Methods: A total of 60 fourth-generation, fifth metatarsal synthetic bone models were divided into three groups according to the fixation techniques. A vertical load, oriented from plantar to dorsal and lateral to medial, was applied to the metatarsal specimen that were potted with molding material.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the locking femoral neck plate (LFNP) can be an alternative fixation method to the cannulated screws with a medial buttress plate. For this purpose, we compared biomechanically the LFNP and cannulated screws with or without a medial buttress plate in Pauwels type 3 femoral neck fractures.

Methods: A vertical fracture model was created at an 80-degree angle to the femoral neck in 28 synthetic bone models.

Background: Pedicle screw insertion in posterior spinal surgery can cause vascular injuries, including rare intercostal artery pseudoaneurysms, which are typically discovered incidentally during reimaging. Onyx embolization is an effective treatment for small artery pseudoaneurysms.

Observations: A 36-year-old man who had initially presented with back pain that remained unresponsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was diagnosed with a T7-8 sarcomatous lesion confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy.

Chryseobacterium indologenes is a rare human pathogen which is nowadays considered an emerging fearsome organism because of its upcoming antibiotic resistance. We present a quite unique case of a multi drug resistant C. indologenes surgical wound infection in a patient submitted to cannulated screw fixation of a displaced medial malleolus fracture.

Suture passers are indispensable instruments in orthopaedic surgery, particularly in open procedures. Commercial suture passers, while effective, can be costly and may not be readily available in all surgical settings. We present the Mo Passer (Mufasa), an innovative, cost-effective technique utilizing standard theatre materials.
