Modified Hook Wiring Technique for Greater Tuberosity Fractures: A Prospective Study.

Managing greater tuberosity (GT) fractures, especially those with glenohumeral (GH) dislocations, poses a challenge in balancing stable fixation while promoting early mobilization. While surgical fixation is often required for significant displacement, the optimal fixation technique remains debated due to the risk of complications and inconsistent outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the Modified Hook Wiring (MHW) technique for open reduction and internal fixation of isolated displaced GT fractures.

Post-operative imaging in pediatric distal radius fractures: When tradition meets evidence.

Routine postoperative radiographs after surgical fixation of pediatric distal-radius fractures have long been part of standard care. Yet growing evidence shows that these images rarely change management in stable cases, adding unnecessary cost, radiation exposure, and clinical burden. A recent study highlights this issue and questions whether routine imaging truly benefits patient outcomes.

Reliability assessment of two production lines using joint progressively type-II censored XLindley samples.

ssessing the reliability of two production lines, whether individually or simultaneously, is of significant importance for improving manufacturing processes and guaranteeing superior product quality. This paper examines the reliability assessment of two production lines utilizing joint progressively Type-II censored samples derived from the XLindley distribution. In addition to estimating the unknown parameters, the reliability functions for each production line, as well as for both production lines simultaneously, are analyzed.

Comprehensive analysis of bony scapula morphology and anthropometry in a homogeneous population.

Background: The shoulder joint has consistently drawn the interest of radiologists, physiologists, and orthopaedic surgeons. The precise measurements and geometry of the scapula are crucial to understanding shoulder pathomechanics. It is necessary to understand typical variations in the glenoid, coracoid, and acromion to maximize shoulder procedures' success.

A Narrative Review of the Evolving Role of Robotic Surgery in Pediatrics: Innovations and Future Prospects.

Robot surgery has significantly improved surgical interventions for pediatric patients by enhancing surgical precision, minimizing complications, and improving overall patient outcomes. Over the past few years, substantial advancements in technology and surgical techniques have facilitated the widespread adoption of robotic systems in pediatric surgical procedures across multiple specialties. These encompass specialties such as pediatric urology, general surgery, thoracic surgery, and oncology, contributing to its adoption and widespread implementation in clinical practice.
