Summary: This retrospective study compared the outcomes of patients with QLP fractures treated with either a buttress plate through an ilioinguinal approach or an infra-pectineal plate using the modified Stoppa approach. The results showed that the infra-pectineal plate approach had shorter surgery duration and less intra-operative blood loss, as well as better clinical and radiological outcomes at least one year after the surgery. Therefore, it can be considered the preferred treatment for most acetabular fractures with QLP involvement.

Summary: The quadrilateral plate (QP) is a flat bone surface in the true pelvis that is often impacted by acetabular fractures, particularly in elderly individuals. Understanding the anatomy, radiology, and fixation techniques related to the QP is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. Orthopaedic surgeons have developed effective methods for approaching, reducing, and stabilizing QP fractures and related fractures.

Summary: This study proposed the concept of inclined angles of the acetabular quadrilateral plate and investigated their normal range in adults. A modified Matta criteria that combined the classic Matta criteria and the evaluation criteria of the inclined angles was proposed. The results showed that the inclined angles could be used to assess the quality of fracture reduction and provide additional information for evaluating the rotational displacement of fracture blocks in the quadrilateral plate.

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.
