BACKGROUND The management of unstable atlas fractures remains a subject of ongoing debate and controversy. The conservative surgical treatment commonly involves fusion, resulting in severe loss of cervical spine mobility, and a large incisions and extensive tissue dissection are required. We aim to introduce a novel concept and surgical approach for treating atlas fracture, one that involves minimizing trauma while maintaining mobility of the upper cervical spine without resorting to fusion.

: Classical reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a high neck-shaft angle (NSA) of 155° has shown satisfactory outcomes. However, newer RSA designs aim to improve results by modifying the stem design. This study evaluates the 5-year outcomes of a stem design featuring a rectangular metadiaphyseal fixation and a 135° NSA.

Distal tibia fractures are high-energy injuries characterized by a mismatch between standard plate designs and the patient's specific anatomical bone structure, which can lead to severe soft tissue damage. Recent advancements have focused on the development of customized metal plates using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. However, 3D-printed metal plates using titanium alloys have not incorporated a locking system due to the brittleness of these alloys.

A basicervical femoral fracture is a relatively uncommon type of proximal femoral fracture. However, as the proportion of proximal femoral fractures rises in conjunction with the aging of society, the absolute number of patients with basicervical femoral fractures is also increasing. Nevertheless, the optimal surgical methods for the treatment of basicervical femoral fractures remain a topic of debate.

The study aimed to evaluate a newly designed semicircular implant for the fixation of Vancouver Type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. To determine its strength and clinical applicability, the new implant was compared biomechanically with conventional fixation methods, such as lateral locking plate fixation and a plate combined with cerclage wires. : Fifteen synthetic femur models were used in this biomechanical study.
