  • The study aimed to assess how insurance status and socioeconomic factors influence treatment timelines and outcomes for scaphoid nonunions in children.
  • A review of patient charts from a pediatric hospital found no significant differences in treatment delays or postoperative outcomes between privately insured and underinsured patients.
  • Results indicated comparable recovery outcomes, including rates of fracture union and levels of pain or mobility issues, regardless of insurance status, suggesting equitable access to care across both groups.

Background: Distal radius fractures are prevalent in small and toy-breed dogs, presenting significant treatment challenges due to complications such as delayed union or non-union. These complications are often exacerbated by reduced vascular density at the distal diaphyseal-metaphyseal junction of the radius, which is vital for bone healing, particularly in toy and small breed dogs. Circular external fixation (CEF) is known for its effectiveness in managing acute and chronic fractures and providing temporary stabilization in humans.

Purpose: Olecranon osteotomy has been associated with loss of reduction, nonunion, implant failure, and migration of wires. We aim to evaluate quality of reduction of the osteotomy site as a predictor of olecranon osteotomy nonunion.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-five distal humerus fractures that underwent open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) were reviewed.
