Summary: Open reduction internal fixation is the conventional surgical method for treatment of double ulna and radius fracture, but it comes with a high risk of complications. A case study of a 23-year-old male patient with forearm double fracture treated using an Acumed intramedullary nail showed good follow-up outcomes, with early functional exercise and accelerated healing. Acumed forearm intramedullary nail for fixation of ulna and radius fracture proved to reduce complication risk and achieve good follow-up outcomes.

Summary: Our study in Italy revealed a significant decrease in pediatric orthopedic surgical volumes during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 compared to the previous two years. The impact varied among different priority classes, with high-priority surgery less affected. Emergency department visits decreased nearly three times greater than trauma surgery. In the second wave, there was a lower decline in surgical interventions and a noticeable resumption of low-priority surgery and outpatient visits.

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.
