Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a growing public health concern, and it is a common injury amongst children and adolescents. Existing evidence suggests that mTBI in youth may be related to both externalizing and internalizing symptoms. However, many existing studies fail to control for pre-injury symptoms or consider the potential interaction between mTBI and pre-injury symptom levels. The current study employed data from a longitudinal sample (N = 1,803) of youth from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods to assess the interaction between pre-injury externalizing and internalizing symptoms and outcomes following mTBI in youth. The results showed, contrary to our expectations, that participants with lower pre-injury symptoms were at a greater risk for increased psychopathology following mTBI, compared to participants with higher pre-injury symptoms and non-injured participants. Potential explanations for the results and implications are discussed.

Treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures through the articular line approach.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Lishui Central Hospital, Zhejiang, 323000, China.

Background: Posterolateral tibial plateau fractures pose significant challenges for orthopedic surgeons due to the anatomical risks associated with the posterolateral approach. Despite numerous surgical techniques available, there lacks a consensus on the optimal approach.

Methods: Articular line incision approach was employed on 12 patients suffering from posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess clinical and radiological outcome in patients after proximal hamstring tendon repair. We hypothesized that there is a significant correlation among subjective clinical outcome and interlimb asymmetries in muscle strength, fatty infiltration, and hamstring volume.

Methods: This retrospective monocentric case series included patients with surgical repair after proximal hamstring tendon rupture.

Comparison of bioabsorbable screw versus metallic screw fixation for tibial tubercle fractures in adolescents: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, National Center for Children's Health, Beijing, 100045, China.

Background: Displaced tibial tubercle (TT) fractures in adolescents are typically treated with open reduction and internal fixation. While metallic screw (MS) fixation provides strong stability, it often results in a high incidence of postoperative screw head protrusion or irritation, leading to additional removal surgery. Bioabsorbable screw (BS) fixation presents an alternative that may avoid these issues, though its stability has not yet been extensively documented in the literature.

Sport-specific differences in ACL injury, treatment and return to sports: Basketball.

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc

January 2025

Division of Neurosciences and Musculoskeletal Diseases, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL), Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Basketball is an intense, fast-paced game that is physically, highly demanding. Certain aspects of the game, such as the quick pivoting and cutting movements, predispose the players to serious knee injuries, including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. While an ACL tear can be a devastating condition for players, multidisciplinary management of the injury can provide the players with a reasonable chance to return to play at the pre-injury level.

Functional Outcome of Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures Fixation by Proximal Femoral Locking Compression Plate.

Dr Md Sonaullah, Assistant Professor, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Mymensingh Medical College (MMC), Mymensingh, Bangladesh; E-mail:

Subtrochanteric femoral fractures are one of the common fractures encountered in today's Orthopaedic practice. This area consists of mostly cortical bone with high stress generation thus heal slowly which leads implant failure. The inherent instability of this fracture and forces of the muscles with comminuted medial calcar is giving the fracture a tendency to varus collapse.
