Objective: To investigate clinical effects of minimally-invasive internal fixation for mid-lateral 1/3 clavicle fracture with distal clavicular anatomic locking plate.
Methods: From February 2016 to March 2017, 32 patients with mid-lateral 1/3 clavicle fractures treated by minimally-invasive internal fixation with distal clavicular anatomic locking plate, including 24 males and 8 females with an average of (42.3±12.7) years old (ranged from 22 to 68 years old). According to Robinson classification, 6 patients were type 2A2, 18 patients were type 2B1 and 8 patients were type 2B2. No vessel and nerve injury occurred before operation. The time from injury to operation ranged from 0 to 6 days with an average of (3.1±1.4) days. Length of bilateral clavicule were compared before and after operation to evaluate fracture reduction. Constant score at 6 months after operation was applied to assess recovery of shoulder function.
Results: Thirty patients were followed up from 11 to 18 months with an average of (13.3±2.2 ) months. No vessel and nerve injury, implant failure, nonunion or delayed union occurred after operation, and facture wound healed at stage I, the time ranged from 8 to 12 weeks with an average of(10.2±1.1) weeks. Shortened length of clavicle decreased from(11.2±3.6) % before operation to (0.4±0.3)% after operation at 2 days. Ten patients removed internal fixation at 8 months after operation without re-fracture occurred after remove plate. Constant score increased from 23.53±5.21 before operation to 94.30±5.60 after operation at 6 months, and 26 patients got excellent results, and 4 good. Patients were satisfied aesthetic degree of scar and shoulder joint function.
Conclusions: Minimally-invasive internal fixation for mid-lateral 1/3 clavicle fracture with distal clavicular anatomic locking plate, which has advantages of less trauma, rapid recover, less scar, could receive good clinical effects and not effect beauty.

Nail-plate combination constructs versus single traditional constructs for distal femur fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Objectives: Distal femur fractures (DFF) are frequently treated surgically with single traditional constructs (STC), such as with a lateral plate or intramedullary nail, although nail-plate combination constructs (NPCC) are gaining attention. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes between NPCC and STC for surgical fixation of DFF to guide surgeon decision-making.
Methods: Data Sources: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Science Direct, and SPORTDiscus from database inception until January 10th, 2024.
A One-Stone-Two-Birds Strategy for Photothermal Shape Memory Polyurethane Utilizing Lignin as Monomer and Internal Photothermal Agent.

Photothermal-triggering shape memory polyurethane allows for precise and controllable shape transformation under remote light stimulation, making it highly desirable for applications in intelligent devices. This study develops a sustainable and high-performance lignin-based polyurethane (LPU) using a one-stone-two-birds strategy, wherein lignin serves as both a synthetic monomer and an internal photothermal agent. The incorporation of lignin significantly improved the mechanical properties of LPU, achieving a tensile strength of 42.

Purpose: To investigate the local recurrence rate, joint preservation status, and functional outcomes after extended curettage and postoperative denosumab treatment for Campanacci Grade III giant cell tumors of the extremities.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with Campanacci Grade III GCTB of the extremities in our hospital between January 2017 and June 2023 who underwent extended curettage and postoperative denosumab administration alone, without preoperative denosumab treatment. Patients were followed-up for adverse events of denosumab, surgical outcomes, limb function of lesions, and local recurrence following extended curettage with postoperative denosumab.

Methodology: In a consecutive retrospective analysis of 190 patients treated with the Masquelet technique at the BG Klinikum Hamburg from January 2012 to January 2022, subgroup analysis for defect-specific features such as the extent and morphology of the defect were recorded, and their influence on the time to reach full weight-bearing of the affected limb was investigated.
Results And Conclusion: A total of 217 defects were treated in 190 patients using the Masquelet technique. 70 % of all defects were in the tibia, followed by 22 % in the femur and only about 7 % in the upper extremity.
