AI Article Synopsis
- The study compares two treatment methods for distal radial fractures: anterior locking plate fixation and cast immobilization.
- After 5.3 years of monitoring, it found no significant differences in function between the two methods.
- This suggests that both treatments are equally effective for long-term recovery in this type of fracture.
Article Abstract
This study reports the long-term results of a randomized controlled trial comparing anterior locking plate fixation with cast immobilization for extra-articular distal radial fractures. After 5.3 years of follow-up, no clinically relevant functional differences were found.

Repair of Acute Grade-3 Combined Posterolateral Corner Avulsion Injuries Using a Transosseous Krackow Suture Pull-Through Technique.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit altered reward processing, reflected by a decreased amplitude of an event-related potential (ERP) marker called reward positivity (RewP). Most studies have used RewP to investigate reward behavior due to the high temporal resolution of EEG and its high sensitivity. However, traditional single-electrode ERP analyses often overlook the intricate dynamics of non-phase-locked oscillatory activity and the complex interactions within these neural oscillatory patterns.

Article Synopsis
- The video article discusses the far posterior or paraspinal approach for treating posterior rib fractures, which enhances intraoperative visibility and minimizes muscle damage.
- This method helps preserve periscapular strength, achieving up to 95% recovery six months after surgery through muscle-sparing techniques.
- The surgical process involves precise skin incision and careful dissection of muscles like the trapezius, rhomboids, and latissimus dorsi to allow for effective access and treatment of the fractures without significant tissue loss.
Introduction: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder that is incurable, always fatal, and transmissible. EEG is an integral part of the diagnostic workup with typical periodic sharp-wave complexes indicative of CJD, but early in the disease EEG is often unaltered. Accordingly, we aimed at evaluating disruption of brain network functional connectivity (FC) in regions belonging to the default mode network (DMN) as a potential early marker in CJD when EEG is considered visually normal.

Background: Palate, a midface bone, shapes the face and supports buttresses. Palatine process of maxilla and horizontal plate of palatine bone constitute it. Palatal bone is thicker anteriorly and laterally than posteriorly and centrally.
