We herein report a case involving three failures of internal fixation after periprosthetic femoral fracture (Vancouver type B1). The patient had low bone mass (T-score of -1.7) and was overweight (body mass index of 28.7 kg/m) but had no sign of femoral stem loosening. The first open reduction with internal fixation was performed according to the recommended treatment. Unexpectedly, three treatment failures subsequently occurred, after which the patient finally attained endurable walking activity. A literature review indicated that the intrinsic biomechanical problems of Vancouver B1 fractures have not been thoroughly addressed. Choosing the correct surgical strategy for Vancouver B1 fractures is essential to avoid complications and ensure healing. A sufficient locking plate and cable system should be used after the first failure if revision was not performed the first time.

Background & objectives Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most prevalent healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). They cause significant morbidity, leading to excess health expenditures and increased length of hospital stay. Despite a high population burden, data on post-discharge SSIs is lacking from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Background Acetabular fractures, a rising concern in developing countries, pose a significant challenge due to their complexity and association with post-operative complications. Often caused by high-energy mechanisms like falls and motor vehicle accidents, these fractures require accurate reduction to prevent long-term issues and the potential need for hip replacement. This study investigates the radiological outcomes of acetabular fracture surgery at six months, focusing on the effectiveness of achieving anatomical reduction using the Matta criteria in a low-and middle-income country (LMIC) setting.

In this report, we present a case of a triple clavicle injury, acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation, a middle third clavicle fracture, and a sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) subluxation, and describe its successful surgical treatment. A 49-year-old female patient sustained a 3 m fall, resulting in direct trauma to her left shoulder. Initial radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a displaced middle third clavicle fracture, a high-grade ACJ dislocation, and a posterior SCJ subluxation.

Background: Radial head fractures (RHFs) account for a considerable injury. This study focuses on the functional results of people who had open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
Objective: To evaluate the functional outcomes of Mason type II and III RHFs treated with ORIF using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) over a 12-month postoperative period.
Objectives: To report outcomes of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) treated with Femoral Neck System (FNS) and to compare the risks of later conversion to arthroplasty for FNS and fixation with cannulated screws (CNSs).
Design: A retrospective study.
Setting: A single-center study (Turku University Hospital, Finland).
