The adult-acquired flatfoot is a complex multiplanar deformity that requires the foot and ankle surgeon to balance soft tissue, correct hindfoot valgus, and address instability of the medial column. The naviculocuneiform joint is historically underappreciated in regard to its involvement in medial column instability relative to the talonavicular and tarsometatarsal joints. Proper clinical and radiographic evaluation of the medial column, specifically evaluating for deformity at each medial column joint, will allow the surgeon to ensure correction of deformity and decrease the recurrence of instability or failure of the reconstruction.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nonoperative management of Gartland Type II fractures in pediatric patients.

Recent Findings: Supracondylar humeral fractures (SCF) are one of the most common traumatic fractures in pediatric populations, characterized as transverse fractures at the distal humerus between the medial and lateral columns. Early studies strongly opposed closed reduction and casting as an acceptable treatment modality for Gartland type II fractures as an early case series showed high rates of complications; however, more recent studies have suggested better outcomes.

Introduction: Congenital vertebral malformations are common developmental abnormalities in screw-tailed brachycephalic dog breeds. Subsequent vertebral instability and/or vertebral canal stenosis caused by these malformations can lead to spinal cord compression manifesting in pain, paraparesis, ataxia and/or paralysis. Various methods for spinal stabilization are in common use.

Biomechanical study of two different fixation methods for the treatment of Neer III proximal humerus fractures.

Background: The lateral locking plate for the proximal humerus is currently the most commonly used surgical procedure for the treatment of elderly proximal humeral comminuted fractures. Previous studies have found that the rate of postoperative complications in patients of proximal humerus fractures with medial column involvement is relatively high. Through biomechanical methods, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the conventional lateral locking plate fixation along with the addition of the metacarpal supporting plate on the medial column in the treatment for proximal humeral fractures involving the medial column.

The standard treatment for displaced pediatric supracondylar fracture of humer us (PSCFH) is closed reduction and percutaneous pinning under image intensifier guidance. This technical note describes Kapandji intrafocal pinning technique (KIPT) for achieving optimal fracture reduction and stable fixation in Gartland Type III or IV extension type PSCFH. In KIPT, a K wire was introduced into the fracture site from the posterior aspect, fracture manipulation was done by levering with wire reducing the posterior displacement of the distal fragment and the wire was fixed to the anterior cortex of the proximal fragment.

Introduction: Acetabulum fractures involving both columns are complicated injuries to treat, and achieving satisfactory post operative reduction with less extensile approaches is difficult. These injuries often require dual approaches, associated with their own share of complications. The anterior intrapelvic approach (AIP) addresses both columns through a single approach, minimizing these complications.
