Summary: This study compared the outcomes of bone substitutes-augmented percutaneous pinning with non-augmented percutaneous pinning in elderly unstable distal radius fractures. The results showed that non-augmented percutaneous pinning offers comparable healing rates, functional and radiographic outcomes, with the advantages of less invasiveness, shorter operative time, and lower cost compared to its bone substitutes-augmented counterpart.

Summary: Treatment options for pilon fractures have high complication rates and poor outcomes. This study compared the use of fibular intramedullary nailing and fibular plating for pilon fractures and found comparable radiographic and functional outcomes between the two groups. However, the fibular intramedullary nailing group had significantly shorter total hospitalization time, length of postoperative admission, and lower total admission cost compared to the fibular plating group.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of external fixation with Kirschner wires and volar locking plate in the treatment of distal radius fractures in elderly patients. The results showed that volar locking plate allowed for better restoration of radiological parameters, but there was no significant difference in overall complications and functional recovery between the two methods.

Summary: The study compared anchor and Krackow-8 suture fixation (AS) with K-wire fixation in patients with distal pole patellar fractures. It found that AS group had significantly fewer postoperative complications, better knee function outcomes, and smaller incision length compared to the K-wire group.

Summary: This study investigated the incidence of implant-related complications in humeral unicondylar fractures in immature dogs. The results showed that using a transcondylar bone screw and epicondylar Kirschner wire for stabilization is an effective treatment method for this type of fracture.

Summary: Rehabilitation of trauma patients with surgical stabilization for weight bearing of fractured extremities is crucial. Immediate weight bearing after plate osteosynthesis for both-bone forearm fractures appears to be safe and associated with low complication rates, regardless of polytrauma status.

Summary: This study compared limited open reduction and transepiphyseal intramedullary fixation with Kirschner wire (LOR-TIKW) versus open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screw (ORIF-PS) for treatment of irreducible distal radius diaphyseal-metaphyseal junction (DMJ) fracture in older children. The results showed that LOR-TIKW had advantages in terms of shorter operation time, smaller incision, lower cost of internal fixation, and shorter healing time.

Summary: This study compared bridge plating and external fixation for the treatment of distal radius fractures. The results showed that bridge plating may lead to earlier functional recovery and lower complication rates compared to external fixation. However, no functional or radiological superiority was demonstrated at the 12-month follow-up.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the postoperative outcomes and complications of femoral neck fracture in adolescents with open physis, using a combined cannulated cancellous screw and Kirschner wire fixation. The results showed that this approach provided acceptable results and can be a viable alternative in the management of adolescent femoral neck fracture.

Summary: This study demonstrates that closed reduction percutaneous intramedullary fixation using Kirschner wires is an effective treatment for displaced MDJ fractures of the distal humerus in children. The procedure is easy to perform and has a short operation time, with excellent clinical outcomes and good fracture healing.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of arthroscopically assisted percutaneous minimally invasive Kirschner wire tension band fixation on the treatment of patellar fractures. The results showed that this method has good therapeutic effect, less invasive, leads to strong fixation of the joint, and is conducive to early functional training and functional recovery.
