Summary: This study investigated the clinical and radiological outcomes of distal radius fractures with displaced dorsal ulnar fragments treated with volar locking plate and the poking reduction technique. The results showed that the poking reduction technique effectively restored the smoothness of the radiocarpal joint and facilitated the fixation of the dorsal ulnar fragment with the volar plate. Compared to the conventional reduction group, the poking reduction group had better postoperative functional recovery and a lower incidence of complications.

Summary: This study compared volar plating versus double plating in patients with complex intraarticular distal radius fractures (DRFs) with different degrees of lunate facet comminution. The findings suggested that double plating provides superior stability compared to volar plating when there is comminution within the dorsal third of the lunate facet. However, volar plating can achieve comparable stability to double plating when the dorsal third of the lunate facet is intact.

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: This study evaluates the differences in radiographic parameters after fixation using variable-angle volar locking plate (VAVLP) according to extra-articular and intra-articular distal radial fracture. The results demonstrate that VAVLP fixation effectively maintains the stability of most radiographic parameters and reduces the risk of tendon rupture in both extra-articular and intra-articular distal radial fractures.

Summary: This study analyzed the effect of delayed distal radius fracture (DRF) fixation on operative time, bone graft use, and additional surgical incisions. The study compared short- and mid-term outcomes between early and delayed DRF fixation. The results showed that early fixation had shorter operative time, lower rate of bone graft use, and fewer additional incisions compared to delayed fixation. The study also found that the immediate postoperative pain and wrist range of motion were significantly better in the early fixation group. However, there were no differences in pain and wrist evaluation scores at the 12-month follow-up. The study concluded that early internal fixation is encouraged to reduce surgical complexity and improve postoperative outcomes.

Summary: This study examines the effects of different loading frequencies induced by therapeutic exercises on the healing outcomes of distal radius fractures. The results suggest that moderate loading frequencies can promote endochondral ossification, while higher frequencies may hinder healing or lead to non-union. Certain loading frequencies in combination with specific fracture gap sizes can enhance the transport of cells and growth factors at the fracture site, creating a biomechanical microenvironment favorable for healing.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical outcomes of using the Trident distal radial (TDR) locking plate to treat distal radius fractures with involvement of the lunate fossa volar rim fragment. The results showed that the TDR provided more stable fixation and achieved good results in wrist ROM, gripping power, and VAS pain score.

Summary: The 45 degrees supination oblique view technique is useful in accurately placing distal screws in the subchondral zone during volar locking plating for unstable distal radius fractures. However, caution should be taken to correct a decreased teardrop angle or extended lunate fossa to avoid intra-articular screw placement.

Summary: Surgical treatment with volar locking plate was found to result in less long-term disability compared to non-operative treatment for severely displaced distal radius fractures in patients aged 70 years and older. While statistically significant, the findings were in the lower range of clinical importance.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the impact of immediate mobilization versus standard cast immobilization on the functional outcome after volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures. Results showed that the immediate mobilization group had significantly improved range of motion and grip strength after one year, with no increased risk of complications.

Summary: This study found that surgeons and scrub nurses in our surgery department preferred reusable instruments over single-use instruments. Therefore, considering the opinions of operating room staff is an important criterion for improving reusable instrument kits, especially when cost arguments regarding the use of single-use kits still need to be confirmed.

Summary: Radial height loss is common in patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plate for extra-articular distal radius fractures, and may lead to poor prognosis. Risk factors for radial height collapse include advanced age, poor bone quality, shortest distance between fracture site and articular surface, and postoperative ulnar-positive deformity.

Summary: The research examined biomechanical properties of the common carotid artery in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), finding that strain and stiffness were associated with factors like age, disease characteristics, and traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Strain showed associations with AS-related factors and age, whereas stiffness was only associated with age, indicating different pathogenic vascular processes.

Summary: Acta Radiologica celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2021, evolving from single-author verbose monographs to a truly international cadre of multi-author collaborations. The journal has seen significant increases in published articles, issues per year, and printed pages over the past century. The Foundation has established two prizes to encourage academic research, and the growing number of manuscript submissions indicates a promising future for the journal.

Summary: Over the last 100 years, musculoskeletal radiology has evolved from basic bone radiography to a dedicated subspecialty covering all imaging modalities. It heavily relies on cross-sectional and functional imaging and plays a vital role in tumor diagnosis and joint diseases. These developments are reflected in Acta Radiologica, as highlighted in this review.

Summary: In this study, it was found that patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) did not have a higher prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) compared to matched controls. AS patients with OSA had higher BMI, were older, and had lesser chest expansion due to more severe AS compared to patients without OSA.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the agreement between clinical diagnoses of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and fulfilment of the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) axSpA and modified New York (mNY) classification criteria, and to compare disease/health status among axSpA subtypes. The study found an overall good concordance between clinical axSpA diagnoses and classification criteria fulfilment, with weaker concordance among axSpA subtypes. Clinical undifferentiated axSpA diagnoses could not serve as a proxy to identify non-radiographic axSpA, highlighting the importance of thorough classification in axSpA subtype research.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the significance of splenic volume in COVID-19 patients and correlate it with the volume of lung changes. The results showed that splenomegaly was not statistically correlated with the severity of the disease, but splenic atrophy or progressive splenomegaly was correlated with severe COVID-19 presentation and cytokine storm.
