Summary: The study suggests that simultaneous lengthening of both femur and tibia in achondroplasia patients can reduce total external fixator time, with the trade-off of increased risk of adverse events as treatment duration lengthens. However, the majority of adverse events, including mechanical axis deviation, can be resolved through additional surgical procedures.

Summary: With the increasing incidence of spine-related diseases due to demographic changes and lifestyle, it has become a global public health problem, leading to significant economic burden. Current treatment methods for these diseases have limitations, and there is an urgent need to find methods that can limit disease progression or cure diseases at the etiological level. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) extracted from venous blood contains growth factors that promote stem cell proliferation, angiogenesis, bone regeneration, and tissue regeneration capacity. This review discusses the application of PRP in the treatment of spine-related diseases and its clinical use in spinal surgery.

Summary: This study demonstrates that bilateral tibial lengthening over intramedullary nail is a safe and effective procedure with excellent outcomes in the majority of patients. Complications such as equinus contracture, pin tract infection, and valgus deviation can be managed effectively with proper monitoring and intervention strategies. The use of a blocking screw post-operatively is recommended to maintain alignment and mechanical axis in patients with neutral or valgus alignment. Overall, bilateral tibial lengthening over nail is a viable option, especially in low-income countries.

Summary: Background: Autologous platelet concentrates, including platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), concentrated growth factor (CGF), and platelet-poor plasma (PPP), have been used for tissue regeneration. This study aimed to compare the effects of PRF, CGF, and PPP on the healing of tooth extraction sockets in rabbits. Methods: Rabbits were divided into four groups, with three experimental groups receiving PRF, CGF, and PPP gel implants, and a control group with no implantation. Results: Radiological and histological analyses showed that all groups exhibited new bone formation, with lower bone resorption in the experimental groups. PCR results indicated higher expression of bone-related genes in the experimental groups. Conclusion: PRF, CGF, and PPP effectively promoted bone regeneration in tooth extraction sockets, with CGF showing superior long-term bone induction and tissue regeneration abilities.

Summary: The omphalomesenteric duct is an embryologic structure connecting the yolk sac with the primitive midgut, and anomalies such as Meckel diverticulum can lead to significant complications. Meckel diverticulum, the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, is usually asymptomatic but can cause issues like bleeding and inflammation. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management, as these anomalies may present with nonspecific clinical manifestations similar to other intra-abdominal conditions.

Summary: Ultrasound (US) is the preferred imaging modality for evaluating abdominal conditions in neonates, and it has also proven to be useful as a bedside technique for assessing acute abdominal conditions. Bedside US can be a valuable tool for critically ill and unstable neonates who are difficult to transport. It allows for assessment and monitoring of various abdominal conditions, such as necrotizing enterocolitis and its complications, malrotation, meconium peritonitis, and complicated inguinal hernia. High-resolution US with specialized probes and techniques improves the ability to visualize fine details of neonatal bowel anatomy and abnormalities.

Summary: Although no surgical procedure has received unanimous support for treating Freiberg's disease, several surgical treatment options have been described. A novel technique using a reverse pedicled metatarsal bone flap from the first metatarsal to treat one case of Freiberg's disease in a 13-year-old female has been reported. Based on the powerful vasculogenic and osteogenic properties of bone flaps, this technique could effectively induce bone revascularization and prevent further collapse of the metatarsal's head.

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.
