Infection after the use of INFIX in Pelvic Ring Injuries.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to report on infection with anterior subcutaneous internal pelvic fixation (INFIX) for pelvic ring injuries and the outcomes of treatment.

Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective study was performed using trauma databases of a level one and level two trauma center from 2012-2018. Infection after the INFIX procedure was diagnosed in 10 of 179 cases.

A pituitary cup biopsy is more accurate than reamings for histological diagnosis of intramedullary lesions during nailing of impending and pathologic fractures: a retrospective matched cohort analysis.

Introduction: Histologic diagnosis of the lesion is important while intramedullary nailing of a pathologic or impending fracture of a long bone. A biopsy can be performed extramedullary using a targeted sampling device such as a pituitary rongeur or intramedullary from the bone removed from the reamer during preparation of the intramedullary canal. The purpose of this study is to compare a cup pituitary rongeur vs.
