Summary: This article conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the best treatment for trochanteric fractures of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) 31A1-A3, comparing sliding hip screw (SHS) and intramedullary nail (IMN). The results showed no significant differences between SHS and IMN in terms of major complications, mortality rates, and infection. However, trends favoring IMN were found in function scores and patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) for certain fracture types.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the biomechanical stability of three internal fixation strategies for extra-articular comminuted proximal tibial fractures: single lateral plating, double plating, and intramedullary nailing. The results showed that the use of additional proximal interlocking screws significantly improved the biomechanical stability of intramedullary nailing, while the use of an additional medial plate improved the torsional stability of double plating.

Summary: By using centerline adaptive registration, a suitable intramedullary nail with an optimal entry point can be determined for specific patients. This method allows for the position of the intramedullary nail to be determined within the medullary cavity while avoiding deformation and minimizing damage to the intramedullary tissue. This proposed method provides valuable preparation aid for internal fixation with intramedullary nails.

Summary: The debate over the use of intramedullary nail (IMN) or sliding hip screw (SHS) for trochanteric hip fractures (AO/OTA 31-A) continues. Recent studies suggest a higher mortality rate for IMN compared to SHS, but more reliable studies fail to show this association. We aimed to compare mortality rates between IMN and SHS in patients with AO/OTA 31-A fractures and investigate the choice of implant in relation to fracture subtype.

Summary: The systematic review comparing outcomes of native distal femur fractures treated via intramedullary nailing versus locked plating revealed no significant differences in union rate, malalignment, time to union, average arc of motion, or complication rates necessitating a return to the operating room. Therefore, until higher level randomized data is available, either intramedullary nailing or locked plating are acceptable methods of treatment for native distal femur fractures.

Summary: The postoperative management of tibial plateau fractures traditionally involves a prolonged period of nonweight bearing or partial weight-bearing for 10 to 12 weeks. However, recent studies have suggested the possibility of earlier weight-bearing protocols, although this remains controversial. This retrospective review aimed to compare the outcomes between early weight-bearing (EWB) and traditional weight-bearing (TWB) protocols in patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation of tibial plateau fractures. The EWB group had a significantly shorter time to weight bearing compared to the TWB group, with similar rates of complications and radiographic time to union.

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.
