Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the advantages of conservative treatment for trauma of children,and evaluate effect of external fixation for the treatment of double fractures of forearm.
Methods: From June 2007 to June 2008, 52 patients with double fractures of forearm were treated with manipulative reduction and modified external fixation by splints. Among them, 33 males and 19 females,the age was from 4 to 15 years with an average of 8.6 years. The course of disease was from 1 hour to 7 days. All patients had a definite history of trauma, and pre-treatment X-ray film showed double fracture of ulna and radius.
Results: All patients were followed up from 6 to 14 months with an average of 9.4 months. All fractures healed and the healing time was from 4 to 8 weeks with an average of 6 weeks. The clinical effect was evaluated according to Berton criteria, 37 cases obtained excellent result, 15 good.
Conclusion: Strict choose indication of conservative treatment can obtain satisfied effect in treating double fractures of forearm in children. The method has advantages of safe operation, less injury, cheap expense, which can well obtain functional rehabilitation of patients.

Background: Umbilical arterial catheterisation is a common intervention performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) especially in extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight neonates. Rarely catheter fracture or breakage can occur, leaving behind part of the catheter in the aorta. A handful of cases have been reported in the literature, with the majority being managed surgically.

Background: Pilon fractures refer to distal tibial fractures that may involve extra-articular, partial articular, or complete intra-articular components, most commonly caused by high-energy trauma. The choice between early (<72 hours) and delayed (>7 days) surgical fixation significantly impacts clinical outcomes. This study aimed to compare the effects of early vs.

The bony consolidation of fractures depends on various factors. Under optimal conditions fracture healing takes place within a few weeks. An essential requirement for fracture healing is the restoration of adequate biomechanical stability with an interfragmentary movement which is as ideal as possible.

Center for Orthopaedic Injury Research and Innovation, Department of Orthopaedics, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland.
Background: Patient-reported outcome measures are increasingly common in orthopaedic research yet routinely fail to detect clinically meaningful differences in clinical trials. We assessed if orthopaedic studies are more likely to detect clinically important differences with a binary outcome, such as nonunion surgery, or a continuous patient-reported outcome sensitive to important clinical differences.
Methods: We constructed a hypothetical clinical trial comparing 2 treatments for tibial shaft fractures.
