The use of pelvic osseous fixation corridors and lag screw fixation in acetabular and pelvic surgery has gained popularity, especially with the recent development of intraoperative imaging and navigation techniques. However, advanced intraoperative imaging and navigation techniques require technical equipment and are costly. Therefore, traditional fluoroscopic techniques still maintain their importance. In this article, we describe a novel pelvic osseous fixation corridor that traverses both columns of the acetabulum, along with the detailed methodology of its fluoroscopic imaging and the techniques for fluoroscopy-assisted screw placement. The technique of placing screws in this current fixation corridor is only under fluoroscopy assistance, without using any specially produced guide or navigation device. LEVEL OF PROOF: IV.

Background: Extra-articular but severely comminuted distal basal fractures of the proximal phalanx (PP) are rarely reported. Therefore, the aim of this study was to achieve proper union and desirable outcomes using low-profile locking plates/screws. We introduced our own surgical approach and reported the clinical/radiographic outcomes via retrospective case series.

Background: This study investigated the impact of higher interfragmentary compression force (IFCF) on the stability of locking plate fixation in lateral tibial plateau fractures.

Methods: Biomechanical experiments and finite element analysis (FEA) were employed to compare the performance of the AO cancellous lag screw (AOCLS) and a newly developed combined cancellous lag screw (CCLS).

Results: The results demonstrated that the CCLS provided a higher IFCF without the risk of over-screwing, significantly improving fixation stability.

Background: Subtrochanteric proximal femoral fractures are generally treated with cephalomedullary nail fixation. We aimed to compare outcomes of subtrochanteric fracture fixation using a single lag screw (Gamma3 nail, GN) or dual lag screw (INTERTAN nail, IN) device.

Methods: The primary outcome measure was mechanical failure, defined as lag screw cut-out or back-out, nail breakage, or peri-implant fracture.
