Summary: This study examined the impact of sacroiliac screw position and length on the biomechanical properties of triangular osteosynthesis in treating unilateral vertical sacral fractures. The results showed that the best vertical stability was achieved when the S1 segment was fixed with lengthened sacroiliac screws, followed by when normal sacroiliac screws were used. There was no significant difference in vertical stability between the S1 + S2 dual-segment fixation and the S1-segment fixation. The maximum pressure under a vertical force of 600 N varied in order of L5LS1 < L5NS1 < L5LS12 < L5LS2 < L5NS2 < L5NS12.

Summary: The purpose of this report is to demonstrate a new technique for creating a 4-rod lumbosacral construct when stacked S2AI screws are not possible due to concurrent treatment of sacroiliitis. The technique involves using a combined S2AI and subcrestal iliac approach to achieve the construct, while providing biomechanical support to the S2AI screws and treating the sacroiliitis.

Summary: The author introduced a novel freehand technique for S2-Alar-Iliac screw placement which showed good clinical safety. However, the optimal anatomical landmarks for the screw angle in the caudal direction are not unified, with TGT as one of the most frequently chosen landmarks needing additional adjustments. Moreover, the dynamic relationship between TGT and the sacral iliac bone may affect the reliability of pre-surgery navigation software simulations.

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: This study aimed to define the incidence of subtrochanteric femoral fractures and investigate associations with mortality and medical complications following intramedullary nail treatment. Risk factors for mortality included low albumin, dementia, pneumonia, and high Charlson comorbidity score. Factors such as ICU/HDU stay, asthma/COPD, and prolonged hospital stay were associated with higher incidence of hospital acquired pneumonia. Early identification of these factors could aid in prognostication and prevention of poor outcomes.

Summary: This study developed and validated a predictive model for non-union following subtrochanteric fractures of the femur. By identifying risk factors and creating a risk score, high-risk patients can be identified early post-operatively. The scoring system demonstrated good discriminatory capability, calibration, and internal validity, providing valuable information for surgeons to intervene and modify surgery-related factors to reduce the risk of non-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.
