Fractures of the clavicle are frequent in children and mostly affect the middle third. On the other hand, traumatic fractures of both medial and lateral thirds of the clavicle are rare. The lesions have special characteristics: difficulty in diagnosis for the medial third; risk of callus formation in the absence of surgical reduction of the lateral third. The authors report two observations of fractures of the medial and lateral thirds of the clavicle; they insist on the value of investigation by CT scan.

Age-stratified anatomical differences of orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Oculoplastic, Orbital & Lacrimal Surgery, Aichi Medical University Hospital, 1-1 Yazako-Karimata, Nagakute, Aichi, 480-1195, Japan.
Purpose: To define the anatomical variance between orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures, and its change with age.
Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analyzing data from 557 patients with isolated blowout fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. Axial and quasi-sagittal CT images were analyzed to compare radiologic data on orbital wall morphology between fracture site groups and among age groups.
Nonoperative Management of Gartland Type II Supracondylar Humeral Fractures: A Comprehensive Review.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
January 2025
, San Francisco, USA.
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.
Anterior Knee Pain and Knee Functional Scores Following Common Approaches to Tibial Shaft Fractures: A Systematic Review.
JB JS Open Access
January 2025
Saint Francis Health System, Trauma Institute, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Background: Tibial shaft fractures are common, causing substantial morbidity. Intramedullary nailing offers advantages but often leads to anterior knee pain and functional issues.
Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a systematic review on outcomes for different surgical approaches-suprapatellar (SP), infrapatellar (IP), medial parapatellar (MPP), and lateral parapatellar (LPP).
Gastrocnemius muscle flap for coverage of knee defects in the injuries of popliteal artery: a clinical case report.
Front Surg

Department of Operating Room Technology, Community Based Psychiatric Care Research Center, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
The use of the gastrocnemius muscle flap has become an excellent choice for coverage of Knee Defects. However, the surgical management of gastrocnemius muscle flap in the injuries of the popliteal artery remains a challenging therapeutic problem. The purpose of this manuscript is to present a case of a successful knee gastrocnemius flap in a patient with popliteal artery injuries.

Purpose: To use a large nationwide administrative database to directly compare usage, complications, and need for revision stabilization surgery after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPLFR), tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO), and combined MPFLR and TTO (MPFLRTTO).
Methods: The PearlDiver Mariner database was queried for all reported cases of MPLFR, TTO, and combined MPFLRTTO performed between 2010 and 2020 using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Subsets from those cohorts with laterality-specific , , codes for patellar instability were used to evaluate 2-year incidence of infection, stiffness, fracture, and revision stabilization with MPFLR and/or TTO.
