Background This is a retrospective service evaluation of outcomes of polytrauma patients sustaining knee dislocations and subluxations within a major trauma center (MTC). Polytrauma patients with knee dislocations are complex to manage and often sustain multiple life-threatening injuries. Although treatments have progressed, no consensus remains on management timing and strategy.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of different holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser modes for lithotripsy in the "dusting era" and identify the optimal laser mode for producing stone fragments measuring ≤0.5mm.
Methods: We used plaster of Paris-made artificial stones crushed into 2-3 mm pieces, weighing 1 g in total.

Distal radius fractures (DRF) are one of the most prevalent injuries a person may sustain. The current treatment of DRF involves the use of casts made from Plaster of Paris or fiberglass. The application of these materials is a serious endeavor that influences their intended use, and should be conducted by specially trained personnel.

We describe a 9-year-old male who suffered a linear, non-displaced scaphoid fracture following a pedestrian motor vehicle accident. Initially, X-ray imaging failed to detect the fracture, but MRI confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting the challenges in identifying scaphoid fractures in pediatric patients due to the bone's cartilaginous nature in this age group. The patient was treated with immobilization using a Plaster of Paris cast, consistent with standard management for non-displaced fractures in children.

- - The study aimed to evaluate the wrist stabilizing effects and mechanical properties of four different materials used for wrist splints, including plaster of Paris (PoP), Woodcast, X-lite, and a 3D-printed polypropylene material.
- - Using cadaveric arm specimens, researchers tested how well each splint material resisted wrist flexion and extension under a controlled load, and they also conducted a bending test on samples of each material.
- - Results showed that PoP provided superior wrist stability and stiffness compared to the other materials, suggesting it may be the best option for wrist immobilization despite new alternatives like 3D printing.
