Many principles of bone reconstruction were successfully applied in this unique case of a 1.92m (6 ft 3 in.) tall 15 year old boy with intercalary leg amputation. This patient suffered from a 26 cm (10.2 in.) bone loss of his left distal femur and severe soft tissue damage with an irreparable extensor mechanism after motor cycle accident. After periimplant fracture below the knee arthrodesis nail, definite treatment consisted of implant exchange to an 870 mm (34.3 in.) long custom made nail, which is to our knowledge the longest implanted arthrodesis nail in literature. Therefore the aim of the study was to present our treatment strategies and pitfalls after traumatic periimplant arthrodesis nail fracture in an unusual case of limb reconstruction.

Objective: To explore clinical efficacy of unilateral and bilateral nail-rod system fixation in single-level intervertebral fusion fixation of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and instability with unilateral dual-channel spinal endoscopy.
Methods: The clinical data of 63 patients with LDH complicated with instability treated by unilateral double-channel spinal endoscopy from March 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to intraoperative fixation methods, the patients were divided into two groups, included unilateral nail rod system fixation group(unilateral group) and bilateral nail rod system fixation group(bilateral group).

Twin Cities Orthopedics, Edina, Minnesota.
Background: First tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthrodesis is one of the most common procedures performed each year for the correction of hallux valgus deformity, and nonunion rates for first TMT arthrodesis are commonly reported to be between 4% and 15%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intramedullary nail system in patients requiring first TMT arthrodesis.
Methods: An ambispective, multisurgeon, consecutive case series was conducted, in which retrospective and prospective collection of patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and radiologic data were conducted.

Hospital Universitari i Politècnic la Fe, Av Fernando Abril Martorell 106, 46015, Valencia, SPAIN.
Background: Knee arthrodesis is a means of avoiding above-knee amputation after a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The objective of this study was to analyze the results of floating knee arthrodesis in patients who had a history of a periprosthetic knee infection and to perform an external validation of the BAOR Scale (Baeza-Ortega scale). The analysis consisted of determining reinfection rates, functional results, and the survival of arthrodesis.
