Summary: This study compared different graft materials for reconstructing mandibular bone defects, finding that a combination of autograft and xenograft was more effective than using either alone or leaving the defects empty. Immunohistochemical and stereological results support the adoption of the induced membrane technique in humans for small segmental mandibular defect reconstruction.

Summary: The Masquelet technique is a two-stage procedure used to treat large bone defects. This study tested the effectiveness of demineralized bone matrix and bone marrow mononuclear cells as membrane fillings, and found that they cannot replicate the good results of this material in large, non-membrane coated bone defects. However, they do support the maturation of new bone tissue locally.

Summary: Factors such as sex, patient age, smoking, diabetes mellitus, femur or tibia, duration of cement spacer placement, and antibiotic impregnation to the cement were found to have no significant impact on the vascularization of the induced membrane (IM). However, the vascularization of IM was reduced in patients who underwent free flap surgery compared to those who did not.

Summary: This study compared the clinical effectiveness of vascular bone graft (VBG) and the Masquelet technique (MT) for the reconstruction of Gustilo type III tibial fractures. The results showed that there were differences in union time and infection rates between the two methods for different bone defect lengths. VBG appeared to be more promising in reconstructing larger bone defects, while MT played an important role in smaller bone defects, severe infections, and osteomyelitis.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of induced membrane technique (IMT) and analyze the impact of patient factors and surgical parameters on bone union and complication rates. The study included 78 trials with a total of 3840 patients managed with IMT. Results showed that delaying the timing of the second stage to 6 to 8 weeks after the first stage and using bone cement with antibiotics can improve outcomes. The study also found that concerns about postoperative infection should not deter the use of internal fixation.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis of the induced membrane technique (IMT) in femoral defects found that external fixation in the second-stage surgery was associated with a higher risk of post-procedural bone graft infection, while age over 65 years increased the risk of final non-union status. Shorter union time was related to impregnated antibiotics in the spacer, the use of all-autologous grafts, and the application of intramedullary nails as the second-stage fixation method.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of the Masquelet technique and bone transport for the management of critical-sized bone defects. The results showed that both techniques had comparable results, but the findings should be interpreted cautiously due to the high risk of bias. Further prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to better understand the strengths, limitations, and variables affecting the outcomes of these techniques.

Summary: The management of distal tibia fractures in elderly patients is complex, and conservative treatments may not yield satisfactory results. Primary ankle arthrodesis is now offered as an alternative treatment. This study reviewed the outcomes of primary ankle arthrodesis for distal tibia fractures in elderly patients and found that it often leads to satisfactory results with a high rate of bone union and ankle range of motion recovery. The use of a long nail may be associated with a lower rate of implant specific complications.

Summary: In the early stages following ACL tear, there is significant impairment of cartilage poroelasticity without macroscopic changes. Over time, the deterioration of cartilage poroelasticity decreases. This severe degradation of poroelasticity may contribute to the development of microcracks within the cartilage, leading to further damage under physiological loading.

Summary: The objective of this study was to develop a non-invasive mathematical marker, the characteristic length, to predict the microstructure of the dermis. A clinical study was conducted on elderly osteoporotic subjects to validate this marker. The results showed a strong correlation between the characteristic length and the elastin-to-collagen ratio, suggesting it can be used as a reliable biomarker for personalized collagen treatment.

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.
