We report a rare case in which the entire capitate was replaced by free nonvascularized autologous bone grafting due to a giant cell tumor. Moreover, a Maestro wrist prosthesis (second type) was subsequently implanted after two failed motion-preserving procedures. At the 6- and 8-year follow-ups, we observed complete but asymptomatic avascular bone necrosis around the entire capitate peg without evident failure of the carpal component. This case highlights the importance of locking screws in improving the longevity of total wrist arthroplasty by imitating external or internal fixation for bridging large bony defects in the long bones of the upper and lower extremities. However, loosening may occur in the future. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe an uncommon finding that cannot be solely attributed to the natural course of periprosthetic osteolysis.

A new method to predict refracture risk after locking compression plate removal of clavicle shaft.
BMC Surg

Department of orthopedics, Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Hospital, Shanghai, P.R. China.
Background: The incidence rate of subsequent refracture after removal of the implant in mid-shaft clavicle fracture patients is relatively high. This can lead to additional medical costs and cause doctor-patient dispute. This study tries to introduce a new method to predict the refracture risk of the clavicle after hardware removal.

Managing rerupture of the triceps brachii tendon after surgical repair is challenging due to poor tissue quality, retraction, and adhesions. This clinical scenario often requires augmentation with native tissue or tendon allografts. Traditional techniques include V-Y advancement, reinforced triceps advancement with double row or suture bridge fixation, and allograft tendon augmentation.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duson Hospital, Ansan, Korea.
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.

Department of Orthopedics and Trauma, Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Purpose: Although several techniques have been described for bent intramedullary nail removal, there is no universally accepted strategy. We hypothesized that a device based on the action principle of a three-point bend fixture could facilitate extraction of bent intramedullary nails; this paper describes its design and experimental testing.
Methods: Five large synthetic left femurs and five steel intramedullary nails were used.

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.
