Summary: Temporary fixation of scapholunate ligament injury during volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures can effectively maintain scapholunate angle and reduce the progression of arthritis. Clinical outcomes were similar between the fixed and non-fixed groups, with slightly higher scapholunate angle in the fixed group but grip strength closer to the uninjured wrist.

Summary: A retrospective analysis of 23 adult cases of tibial eminence fractures treated with arthroscopy-assisted transosseous fixation using Versalok suture anchors showed good fixation and fracture healing outcomes, with postoperative knee function scores comparable to healthy knees.

Summary: This study reported the preliminary results of an arthroscopic technique for treating tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The technique involves reducing and fixing the bony fragment using sutures passing through a single tibial tunnel. The clinical outcomes, as assessed by Lysholm score, Tegner activity score, and KT-1000 measurement, showed significant improvement. X-rays also confirmed satisfactory reduction and solid union in all patients.

Summary: The management of distal radius fractures has seen significant improvements in techniques and hardware in the past two decades, allowing surgeons to ensure good results. However, personalized approaches are necessary as each fracture is unique, and treatment efficacy may vary across different age groups. Surgeons must be well-versed in all techniques available for optimal treatment outcomes.

Summary: In this meta-analysis, it was found that arthroscopically assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) are comparable in terms of providing pain relief and improving function for patients with ankle fractures. Therefore, the choice between the two techniques should be based on the patient's individual factors and the surgeon's personal preference.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to evaluate the techniques and outcomes of arthroscopic fixation of femoral head and acetabulum fractures. No randomized controlled studies comparing different surgical techniques were found, but the reported cases demonstrated potential for this method of treatment.

Summary: Bipolar fractures involving distal radius and radial head are rare injuries that require consideration of both wrist and elbow. Treatment options vary depending on the specific case, with surgical intervention or conservative treatment being viable options. Preserving radial length during surgery is important for optimizing patient outcomes.

Summary: This study analyzed the pathoanatomy of anterior malleolus (AM) fractures and associated ankle injuries. It found a negative correlation between the size of AM fractures and posterior malleolar fractures. AM fractures occurred more frequently in pronation-type injuries and elderly patients. CT imaging diagnosis of AM fractures can assist in surgical decision-making and planning.

Summary: In pediatric distal radius fractures in Sweden, complete fractures occur more frequently in girls, while boys are more likely to receive Kirschner wire fixation. Further research is needed to determine the need for Kirschner wire fixation in pediatric distal radius fractures.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of uncertainty and variability on the healing outcomes of distal radius fracture (DRF) treated with the volar locking plate (VLP). The study finds that the titanium VLP is a strong and ductile fixation that requires optimized designs and configurations for early fracture stabilization. The study also highlights the negative impact of uncertainty in fracture geometry and physiological loading on early DRF healing.

Summary: This study found that an MCS widening of >= 5.5 mm on injury ankle mortise radiographs corresponded with complete DDL injury, while MCS <= 5.0 mm indicated partial DDL injury. By using this cutoff, surgeons can better predict the extent of deltoid ligament injury and improve preoperative planning.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic suture and EndoButton fixation for acute displaced posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. The results showed that both methods resulted in comparably good clinical outcomes, radiologic healing, and stable knees at a midterm follow-up of two years.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of arthroscopic minimally-invasive internal fixation in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures. It found that compared to traditional open reduction and internal fixation, arthroscopic surgery had smaller surgical wounds, faster recovery, and less postoperative pain and stress.
