In reparative surgery, and particularly reosteo-synthesis, latent or apathogenic germ invasion of "old" wounds must always be reckoned with. Antiinfectious measures, which must be pursued untiringly, are to be placed beside equivalent surgical measures which should go beyond mere operative care of traumatic tissue damage.

Clinical Application Study of External Fixation Treatment Using Removed Locking Plates in Patients with Failed Debridement and Antimicrobial Therapy for Infection after Internal Fixation of Fractures.
Surg Infect (Larchmt)
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, No. 2 People's Hospital of Fuyang City, Fuyang City, People's Republic of China.
The main focus of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of external fixation treatment using removed locking plates in patients with failed debridement and antimicrobial therapy of infection after internal fixation of fractures. From January 2019 to January 2023, our medical institution treated 13 patients who had failed debridement and antimicrobial therapy for infection after internal fixation of fractures. All patients had their internal fixation devices removed, underwent thorough debridement, and then the removed locking plates were repurposed for external fixation treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Foot and ankle injuries commonly show up in Emergency Departments, especially in rural areas where patients may need to be transferred for imaging diagnostics like X-rays.
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ottawa Foot and Ankle Rules (OFAR) combined with Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to assess foot and ankle pain in rural settings.
- Conducted from June to August 2022, the study revealed that novice POCUS users could accurately interpret ultrasound results, achieving high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (94%) when identifying fractures compared to subsequent radiographic evaluations.
Role and applications of F-FDG PET/CT in the assessment of osteoarticular infection and inflammation - Part I.

F-FDG PET/CT has been positioned over time as a useful tool in the evaluation of osteoarticular infections, overcoming conventional explorations like MRI or bone scintigraphy in some indications. Its ability to provide functional and anatomical images simultaneously and its excellent resolution contributes to a more precise and personalised approach in the treatment of osteoarticular diseases such as spondylodiscitis. In addition, it has proven valuable in patients with suspected infection that is complex to diagnose or treat, improving detection in subclinical stages.
