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: This study aimed to investigate patient demographics, injury characteristics, radiographic outcomes, and identify risk factors for developing posttraumatic arthritis in high-energy transsyndesmotic ankle fracture dislocations or logsplitter injuries. The results showed that logsplitter injuries have devastating outcomes and a high risk of arthritis, which should be considered separately from conventional ankle fractures.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated 34 cases of deltoid ligament ruptures with associated supination external rotation type IV ankle fractures. The results showed no significant difference in radiographic and clinical outcomes between the deltoid repair and unrepair groups. Syndesmotic reduction may be more important than deltoid repair in regard to mortise restoration and medial stability.

Summary: This retrospective study reported outcomes of fixation of bi-malleolar or trimalleolar fractures combined with syndesmotic injury, and found that removing the syndesmotic screw at 3 months postoperatively is more beneficial for reducing the risk of syndesmotic instability recurrence in trimalleolar fractures.

Summary: This study compared different treatment methods for isolated unstable distal fibula fractures, finding that direct deltoid ligament repair yields similar functional scores and fewer reoperations compared to trans-syndesmotic fixation at midterm follow up. The most common reason for reoperation was the removal of hardware.

Summary: The study investigated the outcomes of posterior arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation (PARIF) in trimalleolar ankle fractures, showing good results in achieving anatomic intra-articular reduction, syndesmosis congruity, and removal of loose bodies. The findings suggest that PARIF technique is effective for displaced posterior malleolar fractures, with good to excellent patient-reported outcomes at a 2-year follow-up.

Summary: This study establishes a standardized method for dynamically evaluating the stability of the tibiofibular joint after ankle fractures using intraoperative ultrasound stress test. It can help guide the fixation of the joint and reduce the risk of postoperative traumatic arthritis.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of various stress tests for deltoid ligament and syndesmosis injury in ankle fracture patients. The gravity stress test and the tap test showed high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing deltoid ligament injury, while the hook test had relatively high accuracy in diagnosing syndesmosis injury.

Summary: Trauma to the soft tissues of the ankle joint can cause instability and arthritis. Traditional fixation methods promote ligament repair but limit normal movement. Removal of fixation screws may benefit patients, but the timing is still uncertain. This study developed a new large animal model for the investigation of clinical foot and ankle implants. The results suggest that the carpometacarpal joint may be a suitable location for orthopedic device research.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of olecranon repair with tension band wiring (TBW) and plate fixation (PF) following olecranon osteotomy as part of distal humerus fracture repair. Results showed similar outcomes between the two methods, with patients fixed with TBW demonstrating better elbow extension compared to those fixed with PF.

Summary: The study aimed to describe the orthopedic response to acute fracture patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and compared outcomes between pre-COVID and COVID era patients. Results showed that orthopedic care for acute fracture patients was not significantly impacted by the global pandemic, providing guidance for other hospitals in the event of new surges in COVID cases.

Summary: In the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, azole-resistant environmental Aspergillus fumigatus is a significant threat to public health, with higher frequency found in cultivated land samples. Known resistance mutations, such as TR34/L98H, are commonly present in resistant A. fumigatus sensu stricto isolates.

Summary: Vaccination uptake is crucial in containing the COVID-19 pandemic, and game theory and social network models can guide decision-making in vaccination programs. Decision-making under uncertainty and imperfect information, based on established game-theoretic modeling, can provide the best framework for optimal control of the pandemic.

Summary: In the Western Ghats of South India, mammalian species richness and forest loss show strong positive associations with Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV) outbreaks, with forest loss substantially modifying the relationship between species richness and outbreaks. High species richness is linked to increased KFDV risk in areas with low forest loss, while lower species richness is associated with increased risk in areas of greater forest loss.

Summary: This study investigated the landscape epidemiology of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) outbreaks in India from 2010 to 2020. The results show that outbreak risk is influenced by the habitat suitability of ardeid birds, pig and chicken density, and the shared landscapes between rain-fed agriculture and river and freshwater marsh wetlands.
