Isolated radial head subluxation without fracture, commonly referred to as "nursemaid's elbow," is one of the most common pediatric upper extremity injuries. Radial head dislocation without an associated fracture is rarely seen in adults. They are usually associated with ulnar fractures or an elbow dislocation. We present a case of an adult female presenting with a radial head dislocation and an elbow subluxation sustained while dressing, which was successfully reduced using the techniques commonly used to reduce nursemaid's elbow in pediatric patients.

Functional soft palate reconstruction.
JPRAS Open
March 2025
Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, Aesthetic, and Hand Surgery, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: The excision of oropharyngeal carcinoma of more than 50% of the soft palate followed by static reconstruction may result in functional deficits, including velopharyngeal insufficiency, swallowing, and speech difficulties. We describe a functional soft palate reconstruction technique aimed at restoring aeromechanical and acoustic functions, enabling swallowing without nasal regurgitation and speech with low nasalance.
Material And Methods: We developed a new operative technique, using muscle transfer and a free flap to create a dynamic reconstruction.

The use of proteins as intracellular probes and therapeutic tools is often limited by poor intracellular delivery. One approach to enabling intracellular protein delivery is to transform proteins into spherical nucleic acid (proSNA) nanoconstructs, with surfaces chemically modified with a dense shell of radially oriented DNA that can engage with cell-surface receptors that facilitate endocytosis. However, proteins often have a limited number of available reactive surface residues for DNA conjugation such that the extent of DNA loading and cellular uptake is restricted.

OTO Open

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Winship Cancer Institute Emory University Atlanta Georgia USA.
Objective: Complex ablative maxillary and mandibular defects often require osseous free flap reconstruction. Workhorse options include the fibula, scapula, and osteocutaneous radial forearm flap (OCRFF). The choice of donor site for harvest should be driven not only by reconstructive goals but also by donor site morbidity.

Introduction: Osteochondroma is a bony lesion arising from the surface of the bone. It com-prises a large percentage of all benign bone tumors. A unique feature of this tumor is the conti-nuity of cortical and medullary components between the normal bony tissue and aberrant tissue of osteochondroma.

Rothman Orthopaedics Florida at AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA.
Objective: We aimed to assess the recent trends in the demographics of radial head and neck fractures and their management based on displacement.
Methods: TriNetX was queried for cases from 1 January 2017, through 31 December 2022. ICD diagnosis codes were used to define patient cohorts with radial head or neck fractures.
