Eighty-seven pertrochanteric fractures consecutively treated between the years 1978 and 1981 are reviewed. External and internal rotation types are described relative to their aetiology. The final typing of the fracture can be made only on reduction. What we have called 'internal rotation fractures' show an excellent correlation with the unstable fracture gradings described by Boyd, as well as very osteoporotic Singh gradings (1-3). It is contended that the latter is the main factor in its production as opposed to the more common external rotation variety. An appeal is made for recognition of the fracture, its reduction by means of external rotation and adequate fixation. Early weight bearing is not advised, in order to prevent subsequent varus deformity with extrusion of the implant.

When infants are admitted to the hospital with skull fractures, providers must distinguish between cases of accidental and abusive head trauma. Limited information about the incident is available in such cases, and witness statements are not always reliable. In this study, we introduce a novel, data-driven approach to predict fall parameters that lead to skull fractures in infants in order to aid in determinations of abusive head trauma.

Background: Clavicle fractures associated with ipsilateral coracoid process fractures are very rare, with limited literature reporting only a few cases. This study reports on 27 patients with ipsilateral concomitant fractures of the clavicle and coracoid process who were followed for more than 12 months.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the charts of skeletally mature patients with traumatic ipsilateral clavicle and coracoid process fractures treated at the authors' institution.
Background: Kirschner wire (K-wire) and intramedullary (IM) screw fixation are accepted techniques for treatment of unstable proximal phalanx fractures, but comparative reports are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate early clinical outcomes following treatment with K-wire or IM fixation.
Methods: A retrospective review of all proximal phalanx fractures treated surgically at a single center by multiple surgeons was performed from May 1, 2019 to March 1, 2024.

Objective: To compare the closed reduction approach with open reduction (transparotid approach) in the management of condylar fractures for parameters such as postoperative facial nerve injury, trismus, and malocclusion.
Study Design: An analytical comparative study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from 10th January 2022 to 1st October 2023.
