[Purpose] Limited data are available regarding the outcomes of non-operative treatment for hip fractures. We investigated the factors associated with functional rehabilitation outcomes in patients undergoing non-operative treatment for hip fractures. [Participants and Methods] We investigated 57 patients with hip fractures who underwent non-operative treatment. We retrospectively analyzed medical or rehabilitation outcomes and functional outcomes (assessed using the Functional Independence Measure tool). We examined the association between functional outcomes and other factors and compared the medical and rehabilitation outcomes between mobile and immobile patients at the time of discharge. [Results] Of the 57 patients investigated, 15 (26.3%) were mobile at discharge. We observed a significant association between the Functional Independence Measure subscores (Motor and Cognitive) and serum albumin levels. Serum albumin levels and the Functional Independence Measure subscores (Motor and Cognitive) were significantly higher in mobile than in immobile patients. [Conclusion] We observed that functional outcomes at discharge in patients undergoing non-operative treatment for hip fractures were associated with serum albumin ratios and the Functional Independence Measure-Cognitive score.

A Comprehensive Approach to Neoadjuvant Treatment of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer.
Cancers (Basel)
January 2025
Medical Oncology Unit 1, IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, 16132 Genoa, Italy.
At the end of the past century, the introduction of Total Mesorectal Excision (TME), preceded by either short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) or chemoradiation (CRT), established the new standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Recently, significant advancements were achieved for both dMMR/MSI and pMMR/MSS LARC patients. For the 2-3% of dMMR/MSI LARCs, ablative immunotherapy emerged as a curative approach, offering the possibility of avoiding chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy, and surgery altogether.

Children (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals, Oakland, CA 94609, USA.
Background/objectives: Salter-Harris II (SH-II) distal tibia fractures are the most common physeal ankle fractures in children; however, indications for surgical management remain controversial, and patient-reported outcomes for different management strategies are unknown. The purpose of the current study is to compare differences in clinical and patient-reported outcomes following operative and non-operative management of this injury.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients who were treated at a single institution for SH-II distal tibia fractures between 2013 and 2020.
A comparative study of the effect of capsular repair in the Latarjet procedure.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Gold Coast University Hospital, 1 Hospital Boulevard, Gold Coast, Southport, QLD, 4215, Australia.
Background: Long term studies have shown the Latarjet procedure to be successful in preventing re-dislocation in primary and recurrent anterior inferior shoulder instability. It provides stability through the sling effect of the conjoint tendon and the bone block. It is unclear whether augmentation with capsular repair provides an added benefit or leads to restricted range of external rotation.

Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate frequency and timing of post-discharge complications in patients with traumatic rib fractures undergoing operative or nonoperative management.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed adult patients with rib fractures admitted to a Level 1 trauma center from 1/2020 to 12/2021. Outcomes included rib-related complications, pneumonia within 1 month, new diagnosis of opioid- or alcohol-use disorder, and all-cause mortality.
