Fractures of the skull represent a problem in traumatologic X-ray-diagnosis. The higher rate of errors in the skull compared with the rest of the skeleton result from problems in differentiation of fracture-lines from vascular channels and impressions in overlying skeletal structures. By special examination of the suspected region (special X-ray-views, conventional tomography, CT, magnification views etc.) additional information can be obtained, e.g., exact demonstration of dislocated bone fragments or the detection of intracranial hematomas as well as the unmasking of the fracture lines and their dimensions. Very often these special procedures results are the basis for correct treatment. For various skull regions, where masked fractures often occur, recommended radiological pathways are presented in order to find these fractures and to obtain additional information.

Surgery for Olecranon Fractures in the Elderly (SOFIE): Results of the SOFIE Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
January 2025
Royal North Shore Hospital, St Leonards, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: The financial and resource burden of management of olecranon fractures in the elderly is likely to increase with an aging population. There is limited evidence guiding treatment choice in this cohort. This study aimed to determine whether operative treatment of displaced olecranon fractures in elderly patients provides superior 12-month functional outcomes compared to nonoperative treatment.

Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nonoperative management of Gartland Type II fractures in pediatric patients.
Recent Findings: Supracondylar humeral fractures (SCF) are one of the most common traumatic fractures in pediatric populations, characterized as transverse fractures at the distal humerus between the medial and lateral columns. Early studies strongly opposed closed reduction and casting as an acceptable treatment modality for Gartland type II fractures as an early case series showed high rates of complications; however, more recent studies have suggested better outcomes.
Outcome of follow-up computed tomography of suspected occult scaphoid fracture after normal radiography.

Department of Orthopaedics, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Purpose: To evaluate the rate of missed scaphoid fractures on follow-up computed tomography (CT) for suspected occult scaphoid fracture after normal radiography with residual radial-sided wrist pain.
Methods: In a retrospective analysis, wrist CT during a five-year period was analyzed. The CT examinations and radiological reports were re-evaluated.

Fractures of the clavicle (Latin clavicula, little key), which mainly occur in young men, account for 2.6-4% of all fractures in adults [1]. Above the age of 65 years more clavicular fractures occur in women [1].

Midface fractures present a clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology due to their often complex injury pattern and nonspecific symptoms. Precise diagnostics, including differentiated imaging procedures, are required. Interdisciplinary consultation between otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology is often necessary.
