Multiple cuneiform fractures combined with isolated intermediate cuneiform dorsal dislocation and cuboid fracture, with disruption of the Lisfranc ligament, are rare injuries. In this study, we present a polytrauma patient who sustained these injuries, his treatment course, and the follow-up period. The patient was operated on the day of the injury and six months after that the results are very satisfactory.

The Conservative Management of the Carpometacarpal Joint Fracture-Dislocation: A Case of the Second to the Fifth Ray.

Orthopedic Department, Laiko General Hospital of Athens, Athens, GRC.
Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint fractures-dislocations are rare due to the complex structure of the carpal bones and strong ligamentous support; while the clinical image is usually "noisy," they present significant management challenges due to the unstable nature of the injury. These injuries are typically caused by high-energy trauma and frequently result in dorsal dislocations. Treatment requires a careful balance between the immobilization and surgical restoration of the anatomical alignment to prevent complications.

Quantifying axons and myelin is essential for understanding spinal cord injury (SCI) mechanisms and developing targeted therapies. This study proposes and validates an automated method to measure axons and myelin, applied to compare contusion, dislocation, and distraction SCIs in a rat model. Spinal cords were processed and stained for neurofilament, tubulin, and myelin basic protein, with histology images segmented into dorsal, lateral, and ventral white matter regions.

Lateral band snapping syndrome can be a debilitating condition involving the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the fingers. Although rare, it is thought to occur due to disruption of the finger extensor mechanism allowing inappropriate subluxation of the lateral bands over the PIP joint, leading to mechanical and painful symptoms.Here, we describe a woman in her early 40s with a painful, snapping PIP joint secondary to a work-related injury.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of two types of bone grafts (packed cancellous vs. corticocancellous) used in repairing scaphoid waist nonunion fractures with volar locking plates.
- Postoperative CT scans showed that 95% of patients achieved osseous bridging, but those with packed cancellous grafts had significantly better healing outcomes than those with corticocancellous grafts.
- The findings suggest that using packed cancellous autografts may lead to faster and more effective bone healing in these cases.
Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are some of the most common injuries suffered by the elderly; however, there are varied opinions on management. As there is limited research on patient factors affecting functional outcomes in conservatively managed patients with DRFs, this study aimed to find predictive factors for functional outcomes in such patients.
Methods: Patients with DRFs satisfying the inclusion criteria were managed with closed reduction and slab followed by cast application.
