Summary: This study compares the breakage risk between lengthened sacroiliac screws and ordinary sacroiliac screws for treating unilateral vertical sacral fractures. The results show that the breakage risk is lower with lengthened screws and when screws are fixed in double segments.

Summary: This paper presents a ten-step surgical procedure for minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion using the PsiF & TRADE; DNA Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System. The postero-inferior surgical approach provides safe and direct access to the joint space and utilizes subchondral bone for maximum fixation and stabilization. Further studies are needed to validate this procedure as the preferred surgical option for SIJ fusion.

Summary: This study evaluated and compared the clinical outcomes of percutaneous iliosacral (IS) screw fixation under three-dimensional (3D) navigation and minimally invasive percutaneous plate fixation in the treatment of Zone II unstable sacral fractures. The results showed significant differences between the two groups in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and incision length. However, there were no significant differences in fracture reduction and functional outcomes. The incidence of complications was higher in the plate group compared to the navigation group.

Summary: Pain originating from the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) contributes to chronic lower back pain. This study analyzed computed tomography scans of 86 patients with SIJ pain to investigate the differences in sacral and SIJ anatomy between two ethnic populations. The results showed moderately correlated measurements with body height and no significant cross-ethnic differences. However, the observed anatomic variation in S2 could affect implant placement strategy, highlighting the importance of preoperative evaluation of sacral and SIJ anatomy.

Summary: Minimally invasive SI joint fusion using the iFuse Implant System showed greater improvements in pain and physical function compared to conservative management at 6 months, with similar findings at 1- and 2-year follow-ups. Adverse events were higher in the fusion group, with a revision surgery incidence up to 3.8% at 2 years. Limited evidence is available for comparing different minimally invasive devices.

Summary: The study identified the anatomical relationship between neurovascular structures and screws during minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique for diaphyseal forearm fractures. The percutaneous screw fixation in MIPO was found to be a dangerous procedure, especially for the volar approach of the radius and the subcutaneous approach of the ulna.

Summary: The percutaneous SI screw is commonly used for posterior ring disruption in pelvic fractures, but its placement is difficult and can damage adjacent neurovascular structures. The SAI screw is a safe and reliable technique for sacral pelvic fixation. Finite element analysis showed that SAI screws provided biomechanical stability for SI joint dislocation. Various fixation methods achieved sufficient stability, with the TS1 + TS2 group having the smallest displacement and lowest peak screw stress. These findings suggest that SAI screws are a valuable option for treating SI joint dislocation.

Summary: The MIPO technique using the oblong hole of a locking plate achieved satisfactory restoration of length and rotation, bone union, and clinical outcomes for comminuted distal fibular fractures. Postoperative radiographs showed well-aligned ankle mortise with fibular length restoration, and the mean Olerud-Molander ankle score was 82.1 +/- 10.7 at a mean of 27.2 months.

Summary: Percutaneous screw fixation combined with pelvic reduction is a standard surgical treatment for unstable fractures of the posterior pelvic ring, aiming for anatomic reduction and stable fixation. Analysis of 697 pelvises revealed dimensions and screw lengths of the S1 and S2 sacral segments, with a Gaussian distribution of screw lengths and varying percentages of dysmorphic pelvises. The study showed that while intraosseous screw corridors are present in majority of patients for S1 and S2 positions, the S1/S2 axis may not be suitable for trans-sacral screw placement in every patient.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of fragility spinal fractures among liver transplant candidates with cirrhosis. The results showed the detrimental impact of chronic liver disease and hepatic osteodystrophy on bone strength, and the correlation between DXA measurement and lumbar fragility fractures. These findings highlight the importance of adequate bone evaluation in liver transplant candidates.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes and complications of Ilioinguinal versus modified Stoppa approach in Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of anterior column acetabulum fractures. The results show that the modified Stoppa approach has a shorter operative time, less intra-operative blood loss, and fewer complications. The ilioinguinal approach achieves better anatomic reduction. However, there were no significant differences in terms of vascular lesions, clinical and functional outcomes between the two groups.

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.
