Objective: To compare and analyze the clinical effects of internal fixation of minimally invasive elastic stable intramedullary nail and plate in the treatment of pediatric femoral shaft fracture.
Methods: A total of 120 children with femoral shaft fractures who were admitted to our hospital from December 2016 to April 2018 were enrolled. The children were divided into an observation group and a control group by random number table, with 60 children in each group. The children in the observation group underwent internal fixation of minimally invasive elastic stable intramedullary nail, while those in the control group underwent open reduction based on internal fixation of plate. The surgical status and postoperative complications of the two groups were observed and compared, and Kolmert knee function scoring criteria were used for assessing the surgical effects of children.
Results: The operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization duration, fracture healing time and time of off-bed loaded activity of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The excellent and good rate of fracture healing in the observation group was 100%, which was higher than that of the control group, 83.33%, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The total incidence rate of complications in the observation group was 8.33%, which was lower than that of the control group, 10.00%, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Pediatric femoral shaft fractures can be treated with internal fixation of minimally invasive elastic intramedullary nail, and it has advantages of significant curative effect, small trauma and fast postoperative recovery, which is conducive to fracture healing and worth promoting.

Background: Intramedullary screw (IMS) fixation for metacarpal fractures is a relatively new fixation technique in comparison to plate and screw constructs. Our hypothesis evaluated whether IMS fixation for metacarpal fractures results in lower overall health care-associated costs in comparison to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing IMS fixation for metacarpal fractures at a single center during 2018 to 2022 was conducted.
Unlabelled: Chronic lateral ankle instability is a common diagnosis in foot and ankle clinics. Internal Brace (IB) augmentation is a surgical procedure that utilizes fibertape augmentation of the lateral ankle ligaments. Studies have shown the superiority of fibertape augmentation over traditional lateral ankle stabilization procedures such as the Brostrom or Brostrom-Gould.

Background: The effects of percutaneous compression plate (PCP) internal fixation for femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in elderly individuals have rarely been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of PCCP internal fixation for displaced FNFs in elderly individuals based on imaging.
Methods: The clinical data of 32 elderly patients with FNFs treated with PCCP from January 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Arthroscopic repair is recommended for patients with bony Bankart lesions to restore anterior shoulder stability and avoid recurrent glenohumeral instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients following arthroscopic bony Bankart repair using a single suture anchor fixation technique named the "door-locking" technique.
Methods: From January 2017 to February 2024, a consecutive series of 22 patients with acute bony Bankart lesions underwent shoulder arthroscopy.

Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Turin, 10124, Turin, Italy.
Purpose: Several concerns regarding gender equality in orthopedic surgery do exists. The aim of this study was to (1) compare operative times, (2) compare mortality rates, (3) investigate gender disparities in hip fracture surgeries, and (4) analyze gender distribution among attending and resident surgeons performing Closed Reduction Internal Fixation (CRIF) and Hemiarthroplasty (HA) METHODS: All patients >75 years old treated for proximal femur fractures in a level-one trauma center in a four-year timeframe were retrospectively enrolled. Exclusion criteria were follow-up <3 years, incomplete data, active patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and other surgeries performed during the same anesthesia.
