Summary: The study revealed that telephone visits during the COVID-19 lockdown performed better than previous in-person visits, showing higher compliance and discharge rates, while also reducing ancillary tests and referrals. Within 30-60 days after the telephone visits, there was a significant reduction in emergency department visits and hospital admissions compared to in-person visits.

Summary: Nearly half of the study sample reported participating in telehealth in the past 4 months. Future efforts to engage individuals with underlying medical conditions in telehealth should focus on outreach to men, members of lower-income households, and aging populations. These results may help inform and refine future health communications to further engage this at-risk population in telehealth as the pandemic continues.

Summary: To ensure clinical exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Indonesia (FMUI) developed a COVID-19 Self-Isolation Monitoring module for medical students. The module aims to equip students with the skills to monitor COVID-19 cases. Analysis of student and patient satisfaction questionnaires showed positive feedback, with significant improvement in students' performance and knowledge. Areas for improvement include tutors' time management, critical thinking questions, and feedback for students.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of children and adolescents with telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Peer-reviewed studies in English on satisfaction with telehealth among children and adolescents were searched in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Embase databases. The results showed that participants expressed high satisfaction with video and telephone visits and home telemonitoring, while also preferring a combination of in-person visits and telehealth services. Factors associated with higher satisfaction included greater distance from the medical center, older age, and lower anxiety when using telehealth. Evaluation: This study is important for assessing the satisfaction of children and adolescents with telehealth, and it deserves a rating of 8 out of 10.

Summary: Telemedicine is a convenient tool for providing remote medical care, and it has been widely used and well-received by patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has helped ensure continuity of care and has the potential to replace face-to-face consultations in certain situations. However, regular patient feedback is necessary to further improve its use in the future.

Summary: Multiligamentous knee injuries (MLKI) are rare but devastating injuries that have the potential to cause long-term sequelae and significant morbidity. Age, body mass index, and severity of the injury are risk factors that influence treatment and patient outcomes. Surgical treatment is indicated for MLKI, but the timing and method of repair or reconstruction are still debated.

Summary: This study investigated the length of stay, postoperative mobilization, and discharge disposition following intramedullary nailing of ballistic femoral shaft fractures stratified by nailing technique. The results showed that patients who underwent antegrade nailing had a significantly shorter length of stay compared to patients who underwent retrograde nailing. Patients in the antegrade cohort also had greater mobilization in the immediate postoperative setting. There was no significant difference in VAS pain scores between the two cohorts.

Summary: Civilian gunshot violence is a growing global public health issue. Treatment of gunshot injuries is based on military studies, but there are distinct differences in weaponry, injury energy, care timing and environment. To address these differences, a collaborative research group is proposed to focus on best practices for gunshot injury patients, excluding suicide cases.

Summary: This study evaluates the complication rates of different treatment modalities for acetabular fractures in older patients undergoing THA. The results showed that patients who received acute THA or delayed THA had significantly higher complication rates compared to those who underwent THA for non-fracture causes. Patients who underwent simultaneous ORIF and THA or THA after ORIF also had significantly higher rates of revision, infection, and DVT. Acute THA patients had significantly higher rates of readmission and DVT compared to delayed THA patients.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes and complications of Ilioinguinal versus modified Stoppa approach in Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of anterior column acetabulum fractures. The results show that the modified Stoppa approach has a shorter operative time, less intra-operative blood loss, and fewer complications. The ilioinguinal approach achieves better anatomic reduction. However, there were no significant differences in terms of vascular lesions, clinical and functional outcomes between the two groups.

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.
