Summary: This study evaluated the effect of KT on forearm performance fatigability. The results showed that KT did not improve the maximal muscle strength of the forearm in healthy individuals, but had a lesser decline in driving torque efficiency. Therefore, KT may decrease the loss rate of muscle strength and delay the development of fatigue.

Summary: This study evaluates the mechanical effect of Morton's extension as an orthopedic intervention in patients with bilateral foot pronation posture. It examines variations in hindfoot and forefoot prone-supinator forces during the stance phase of gait. The results indicate that the use of Morton's extension decreases the maximum force of pronation and increases supination of the subtalar joint.

Summary: This study introduces a modified method for treating forearm supination by rerouting the pronator teres with allogeneic tendons. The results show that almost all patients achieved a good supination range, with no complications observed. The use of allogeneic tendons proved to be valuable in overcoming muscle length insufficiencies and may prompt a reconsideration of previously deemed unpromising reconstruction surgeries.

Summary: This study compared maximal isometric forearm supination torque in two elbow positions between subjects with and without limited forearm supination range of motion. The results showed a significant difference in MIFST values between groups, specifically with lower values in the LSR group in the extended elbow position. This suggests that elbow position is an important factor to consider when assessing or improving the strength of the supinator muscle, especially in patients with limited forearm supination range of motion.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of ultrasonography in forearm fractures in children and adolescents and found that ultrasonography can easily detect epiphyseal damage, which cannot be done with radiography. The authors aimed to show that initial imaging with ultrasonography is as good as radiography and has an impact on the subsequent physical function of the arm. However, in general, even fractures with imperfect alignment had similar subsequent effects to radiography.

Summary: Patients with personal injury claims experience more pain, reduced hand function, and longer time to return to work after treatment for hand or wrist disorders, regardless of the invasiveness of the treatment. Surgical patients with personal injury claims also report worse postoperative hand function. Clinicians should communicate the expected treatment outcomes and the low probability of significant pain improvement to patients with personal injury claims and consider the option of postponing treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the factors contributing to pain and limited hand function after dorsal wrist ganglion excision. A total of 308 patients were included in the analysis, who underwent surgery between September 2017 and August 2021. The findings showed that postoperative pain and hand function improved, but varied greatly among individuals. Factors such as recurrence following prior surgery, baseline pain intensity, treatment credibility, and symptom duration were associated with higher postoperative pain intensity. Recurrence following prior surgery, baseline hand function, and treatment credibility were associated with worse hand function. These findings have important implications for patient counselling and expectation management.

Summary: The objective of this systematic review was to identify and compare different treatments for osteoarthritis, including core treatments, adjunct treatments, and multimodal treatments. The results showed that core treatments had modest benefits compared to no or minimal interventions. The majority of studies focused on knee OA and were not adequately powered to assess pain efficacy. Further research is needed to better understand the contextual effects, treatment responder characteristics, and treatment mechanisms of osteoarthritis.

Summary: This study aims to investigate dental traumatic injuries related to standing electric scooters and compare them with injuries caused by other factors. The results indicate that crown-root fractures and avulsions are more common in electric scooter accidents. Additionally, relatively minor dental injuries, such as concussions and subluxations, are more likely to occur as combined injuries in electric scooter accidents. The study suggests the need for strengthened policies and enforcement of laws to prevent severe dental and craniofacial trauma associated with electric scooter use.

Summary: This study discussed the role of fracture site tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks on post-injury adaptation (PIA) promoting bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and migration. The results confirmed that PIA accelerated BMSCs proliferation and migration, and identified tissue exosomes as the key factor in this process. By analyzing the tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks, several hub genes, such as Akt1, Actb, and Uba52, were identified, and Kif11 was found to be a key gene in BMSCs regulated by tissue-derived exosomes of PIA treated rats.

Summary: A retrospective propensity score matched cohort study was conducted using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database to compare outcomes for patients with recently diagnosed COVID-19 infection and those without COVID-19 infection undergoing operative treatment of hip fractures. The results showed that COVID-19-positive patients had a higher risk of 30-day mortality, pneumonia, unplanned intubation, septic shock, longer length of hospital stay, and discharge to an acute care hospital. Active COVID-19 infection is an independent risk factor for complications and increased resource utilization in these patients.

Summary: Calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture, an extra-articular injury, is a rare fracture caused internally by intense contraction of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex, and externally by low-energy (possibly high-energy). The risk of injuries to the skin and Achilles tendon around the calcaneal tuberosity is closely related to the Lee classification and Carnero-Martin de Soto Classification of this type of fracture. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through X-ray, digital imaging, and CT, but MRI should also be used to assess the soft tissue. Recent advances in understanding this fracture have led to the development of different internal fixation devices and surgical procedures that provide stable fracture reduction and resistance to Achilles tendon forces. This article reviews the new insights into the anatomy, classification, risk factors, and treatment modalities of calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture in recent years.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of compression screw and non-weight-bearing techniques in treating pediatric Jones fractures. The results showed that compared to non-weight-bearing techniques, compression screw fixation can shorten the radiographic union time, immobilization time, and facilitate earlier return to full weight bearing and daily life. We recommend the use of compression screw fixation for widely displaced fractures and school-age active adolescents.
