Intraoperative Radiographic Rotational Profile of the Tibia: Technique and Clinical Series.

Recreating tibial torsion in patients with complex tibial fractures is an important intraoperative consideration, particularly for fractures with comminution or segmental bone loss. Failure to accurately restore tibial alignment may lead to malrotation, poor functional outcomes, and reoperation to correct rotational deformity. No consensus currently exists regarding the optimal technique for intraoperative measurement of tibial torsion in patients undergoing tibial fracture fixation.

2023 International Consensus Meeting on musculoskeletal infection: Summary from the treatment workgroup and consensus on treatment in preclinical models.

In vitro and in vivo studies are critical for the preclinical efficacy assessment of novel therapies targeting musculoskeletal infections (MSKI). Many preclinical models have been developed and applied as a prelude to evaluating safety and efficacy in human clinical trials. In performing these studies, there is both a requirement for a robust assessment of efficacy, as well as a parallel responsibility to consider the burden on experimental animals used in such studies.

Outcomes of cement augmentation in fragility trochanteric hip fractures - A multicenter randomized controlled trial follow-up.

Purpose: Cement augmentation is considered to improve the bone-implant construct stability in hip fragility fractures, additionally biomechanical studies show that cement augmentation improves the pull-out strength and increases resistance to failure. Thus far, the advantage of these technique used in a clinical scenario is yet to be determined METHODS: a randomized, multicenter, single-blinded clinical trial was conducted in patients aged 65 years or older who were admitted to two level I trauma centers with a fragility intertrochanteric hip fracture during September 2015 and December 2017. Patients were stratified into 2 groups: patients between 65 and 85 years and older than 85 years.
