Introduction: Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures of the tibia with ipsilateral tibial shaft represent a rare but challenging orthopedic injury, necessitating careful consideration of surgical interventions for optimal outcomes. This case report presents the successful management of tibial shaft fracture (proximal 1/3rd junction) along with ipsilateral PCL avulsion fracture of tibia using a novel approach using open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of tibial shaft with Locking compression plate (LCP) with cannulated cancellous screw and spiked washer fixation of PCL avulsion. There are no case reports or research articles available for the management of PCL avulsion fracture of tibia associated with ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture.

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the pediatric population has increased over time, with the ability to rescue pulmonary and cardiovascular deterioration. ECMO can be utilized by neonates and children with congenital heart disease in both the preoperative and post-operative setting to improve survival and minimize morbidity. ECMO cannulation strategy must be tailored to age, weight and physiological state of the patient.

Purpose Of Review: This article discusses a tailored approach to managing cardiogenic shock and temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS). We also outline specific mobilization strategies for patients with different tMCS devices and configurations, which can be enabled by this tailored approach to cardiogenic shock management.
Recent Findings: Safe and effective mobilization of patients with cardiogenic shock receiving tMCS can be accomplished.

Selecting an appropriate microcatheter tip shape for paraclinoid aneurysms is difficult. Therefore, we devised an original simple and uniform three-dimensional (3D) spiral-shaping method of microcatheter and validated the characteristics and usefulness of this method for coil embolization of paraclinoid aneurysms using patient-specific silicone models. These silicone models were produced based on clinical data from four patients with four paraclinoid aneurysms that underwent endovascular treatment using the 3D spiral-shaping method.

Objective: The optimal method for cerebral protection during aortic arch reconstruction in neonates and infants is unknown. We compare the outcomes of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion strategies in neonatal and infant cardiac surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients aged less than 1 year who underwent aortic arch reconstruction from 2012 to 2023.
