Background: The aim of this study is to compare clinically and radiologically the plate osteosynthesis method and the in-tramedullary nail (IMN) method, which is currently used in the surgical treatment of surgical neck proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in which there is no consensus METHODS: A total of 248 patients who underwent PHF between January 2013 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Sixty-two patients were included in the study. The results were clinically compared in terms of the amount of blood loss, operative time, and union time. Radiologically, it was compared in terms of intraoperative neck-shaft angle (NSA), final NSA, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and Constant and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores.
Results: Two groups were formed: plate and IMN. The groups were similar in terms of age, sex, operation side, and follow-up time. There was no difference between the groups in terms of NSA, final NSA, ASES, Constant, and VAS scores. The amount of intraoper-ative blood loss, operative time, and union time was shorter in the IMN group.
Conclusion: In surgical neck PHF surgery, plate and IMN are methods that show good clinical outcomes. According to this study, the advantages of the IMN method compared with plate osteosynthesis in Neer type II PHF treatment can be listed as less intraoper-ative blood loss, shorter operative time, and union time.

Internal Fixation for Unstable Distal Ulnar Fractures by 2.7 mm Semitubular Hook Plate.
Adv Orthop

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcomes of the use of a 2.7 mm semitubular hook plate for internal fixation of unstable metaphyseal ulnar fractures. Between January 2015 and July 2019, 30 consecutive patients with a recent unstable distal ulnar fracture were included in this prospective case series.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of three surgical management strategies for pilon fractures, including primary external fixation with delayed plating, external fixation with minimal internal fixation, and single-stage open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plating.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 34 patients with complex intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia (AO-OTA type 43-C) treated between June 2018 and December 2019. Patients were managed surgically based on the local skin condition and swelling, employing either primary-stage external fixation with delayed plating (Group A), external fixation with minimal internal fixation (Group B), or single-stage ORIF with plating (Group C).

The state-of-the-art approach to open reduction and fixation (ORIF) of zygoma fracture fragments is based on manual skills. Achieving high accuracy can be challenging. Our feasibility study on deceased body donors with artificial zygomatic fractures investigated whether virtual repositioning of the fractures and the use of customised 3D-printed titanium osteosynthesis plates was similar in accuracy to the conventional manual procedure, and whether the method was applicable in a clinical setting.

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.

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.
