Fracture pattern acquisition and representation in human bones play a crucial role in medical simulation, diagnostics, and treatment planning. This article presents a comprehensive review of methodologies employed in acquiring and representing bone fracture patterns. Several techniques, including segmentation algorithms, curvature analysis, and deep learning-based approaches, are reviewed to determine their effectiveness in accurately identifying fracture zones. Additionally, diverse methods for representing fracture patterns are evaluated. The challenges inherent in detecting accurate fracture zones from medical images, the complexities arising from multifragmentary fractures, and the need to automate fracture reduction processes are elucidated. A detailed analysis of the suitability of each representation method for specific medical applications, such as simulation systems, surgical interventions, and educational purposes, is provided. The study explores insights from a broad spectrum of research articles, encompassing diverse methodologies and perspectives. This review elucidates potential directions for future research and contributes to advancements in comprehending the acquisition and representation of fracture patterns in human bone.

Background: Bicondylar tibial plateau fractures are often associated with significant soft tissue compromise making operative treatment challenging. Dual plating through a two-incision approach following temporary external fixation has been shown to improve complication rates although deep infection rates remain high.The objective was to evaluate early outcomes following a novel technique of percutaneous application of the medial plate superficial to the pes anserinus tendons.

Effective management of bony and cartilaginous thoracic injury is a vital part of the care of the polytraumatized patient. Commonly because of high-energy accidents including motor vehicle collisions and falls, these patients routinely require multidisciplinary care and surgical intervention. As our understanding of unstable chest wall injuries and pulmonary sequelae of the injury grows, it is imperative that injury patterns and surgical approaches become familiar to the orthopaedic trauma-trained surgeon.

Chest wall trauma is rapidly evolving and now represents a multidisciplinary field with incredible growth in research and surgical intervention; however, even with more than 800 publications on chest wall trauma to date, surgical indications are not black and white. Injury patterns need to be better defined and outcome measurements need to evolve for accurate longer term functional assessment of patients if this field of surgery is to move beyond historical indications for operative intervention. This essay will communicate what is known about operative indications in a way that stratifies the need for surgery.

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are aggressive, osteolytic lesions usually seen in childhood and young adulthood. The patient's age, location, and behavior of the lesion in the bone may cause patients to present with different clinical findings. Appropriate treatment of these rare, aggressive bone lesions is essential for recurrence.
