Instability increases after fracture site resorption. This study aimed to compare the fracture site stabilities of different femoral nails after fracture site resorption. Thirty composite femurs were divided into three groups of 10 interlocking nails. Using axial compression-distraction machines and a custom-made torsion device, the fracture site rotational and axial stabilities after 1 mm fracture site resorption were determined. Between 6 Nm external and 6 Nm internal rotation torques, the means of the maximum fracture site rotation arc of motion were 5.94 mm for compression nails, 5.9 mm for interlocking nails and 3.5 mm for CAROT nails. Between 2300 N compression and 150 N distraction forces, the means of the fracture site axial motion were 3.15 mm for interlocking nails, 1.26 mm for compression nails and 1.26 mm for CAROT nails. CAROT nails are superior to compression and interlocking nails in fracture site rotational and axial stabilities after 1 mm fracture site resorption.

Aims: It is unclear if a supportive bandage, removable splint, or walking cast offers the best outcome following low-risk ankle fractures in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to compare these treatments.
Methods: Children aged five to 15 years with low-risk ankle fractures were recruited to this feasibility trial from 1 February 2020 to 30 March 2023.

Aims: There is compelling evidence for the use of cemented hip hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular hip fractures; however, the risks of cement are well reported and in rare cases may be associated with haemodynamic collapse. It is therefore important to improve our understanding of haemodynamic instability, intraoperative monitoring, and strategies to reduce the risk to patients.
Methods: We measured arterial blood pressure using the LiDCO Continuous Non-invasive Arterial Pressure (CNAP) finger cuff during surgery in patients enrolled in the WHiTE 5 trial randomized to cemented or modern uncemented hip hemiarthroplasty at a single recruiting site.

The potential for mitigating intestinal inflammation through the gut-bone axis in the treatment of osteoporosis is significant. While various gut-derived postbiotics or bacterial metabolites have been created as dietary supplements to prevent or reverse bone loss, their efficacy and safety still need improvement. Herein, a colon-targeted drug delivery system is developed using surface engineering of polyvinyl butyrate nanoparticles by shellac resin to achieve sustained release of postbiotics butyric acid at the colorectal site.

Introduction: Salvage arthroplasty for failed proximal femoral fracture fixation is a complex procedure. This involves the removal of the primary failed or broken implant followed by a hip joint replacement procedure. The complications and technical difficulties associated with these surgeries are often difficult to anticipate.
