Objective: Conventional open internal fixation surgery for thoracolumbar fractures has many complications and long recovery time. There are few clinical studies on the minimally invasive percutaneous injured vertebrae screw internal fixation. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the application value of minimally invasive percutaneous injured vertebrae screw internal fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures (TF).
Methods: A total of 98 patients with TF admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. According to the surgical method, the patients were divided into the study group (n = 49, treated with minimally invasive percutaneous injured vertebrae screw internal fixation) and the control group (n = 49, treated with traditional open internal fixation surgery). The two groups were compared in the perioperative period, the degree of pain at different periods, the percentage of the height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebra, the Cobb angle of the injured vertebra body and the wedge angle of the injured vertebra body at the first week and the last follow-up, and the postoperative complications and the occurrence of the cone shell after the operation were recorded. Then, statistical analysis such as Student's t test or Chi-Square test was performed.
Results: The operation time (p = 0.002), intraoperative blood loss (p < 0.001), postoperative drainage volume (p = 0.011), and length of hospital stay (p = 0.003) in the study group were significantly lower than that in the control group. The VAS in the study group (3.38 ± 1.02) was significantly lower than that in the control group (4.56 ± 1.04) on the 7th day after the operation, with a significant difference (p < 0.001). The correction values of the percentage of leading edge height (LEH), Cobb angle, wedge angle in the study group were significantly lower than that in the control group at 1 week after surgery (all ps < 0.001). The incidence of postoperative complications in the study group (one case, 2.04%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (seven cases, 14.29%) (p = 0.031). At 1 month, 6 months, 10 months, and the last follow-up, the incidence of "empty shell" on CT scan in the study group were lower than that in the control group with a significant difference (all ps < 0.05).
Conclusion: Applying minimally invasive percutaneous injured vertebrae screw internal fixation is more beneficial to shorten the operation time and hospital stay, with fewer postoperative complications.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry, UK.
Purpose Of The Study: Lisfranc is a challenging injury both diagnostically and surgically, with sparse long-term literature evidence of surgical practice. We aim to review our long-term specialist orthopaedic institutional experience of Lisfranc injuries and the surgical management of this complex injury, specifically considering surgical outcomes as per radiological and clinical assessment.
Material And Methods: We present data from a prospectively maintained institutional database, reviewing patients who underwent operative fixation for Lisfranc injury between April 2014 and August 2020.
Purpose Of The Study: Intraarticular fractures of the distal femur rank among the most severe musculoskeletal injuries. Various treatment options, such as plate osteosynthesis or retrograde nailing, can be employed. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of intraarticular distal femoral fractures treated with retrograde femoral nail, with particular emphasis on C3 fractures.

Prior research has established that actions, such as eye movements, influence time perception. However, the relationship between pre-saccadic attention, which is often associated with eye movement, and subjective time perception is not explored. Our study examines the impact of pre-saccadic attention on the subjective experience of time during eye movements, particularly focusing on its influence on subjective time perception at the saccade target.

Introduction: The optimal management strategy for unstable distal clavicular fractures remains controversial. Recent studies on plate techniques have reported good-to-excellent outcomes with no serious complications. The questions are that: (1) Does the use of wire augmentation with locking plate in distal part (distal wire augmentation) reduce radiographic loss of reduction (RLOR) and get earlier bony union in distal clavicular fractures? (2) Which fixation methods are associated with a higher incidence of acromioclavicular (AC) joints arthritis or subluxation? We collected and analyzed clinical studies on different plate fixation methods for unstable fractures to identify the best surgical modality.
