Article Abstract
Purpose: Sternoclavicular (SC) joint injuries are uncommon, limiting comprehensive insights into their clinical management. This study analyzes long-term outcomes, preferred diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, and variations in treatment approaches and subsequent results.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on traumatic SC joint injuries treated at a Level-1 Trauma Center between January 2004 and October 2016. Chronic, degenerative, tumor-related cases, incomplete records, and incorrectly coded ICD-10 diagnoses were excluded. Ethical approval was obtained. Patient data on demographics, injury details, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions were collected. Functional outcomes were assessed using ASES and QuickDASH scores.
Results: Seventeen SC joint injuries were included (14 Allmann type III and 3 Allmann types I-II). Functional outcome data were available for 13 patients (76% response rate) with a mean follow-up of 6.5 ± 4.4 years. Non-surgical approaches were effective for Allmann type I-II injuries. Anterior dislocations yielded good functional outcomes with both conservative and surgical treatment. Posterior dislocations were successfully managed with closed reduction or surgery, resulting in favorable long-term function.
Conclusion: This study, one of the largest long-term follow-ups of SC joint injuries, confirms the rarity of these injuries but demonstrates promising functional outcomes with timely diagnosis and appropriate management.

Autoimmune Diseases Research Center, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran. Electronic address:
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disorder that significantly impairs physical function and daily activities. While conventional treatments focus on symptom management, complementary therapies such as aromatherapy massage have gained attention for their potential benefits.
Objective: This study evaluates the effects of peppermint oil aromatherapy massage on functional impairments in KOA patients.

Purpose: To investigate the images and treatment differences for Type IIIa atlantoaxial rotary dislocation (AARD) by comparing the imaging characteristics of patients with Type III and Type IIIa AARD.
Methods: The present study retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 35 patients who underwent posterior C1-C2 intra-articular fusion due to AARD from our hospital database. Among them, 23 patients were diagnosed with Type III AARD, while the remaining 12 patients were diagnosed with Type IIIa AARD.
Transposing intensive care innovation from modern warfare to other resource-limited settings.

Background: Delivering intensive care in conflict zones and other resource-limited settings presents unique clinical, logistical, and ethical challenges. These contexts, characterized by disrupted infrastructure, limited personnel, and prolonged field care, require adapted strategies to ensure critical care delivery under resource-limited settings.
Objective: This scoping review aims to identify and characterize medical innovations developed or implemented in recent conflicts that may be relevant and transposable to intensive care units operating in other resource-limited settings.
Tibia-Fibula Relative Motion During Gait Cycle by 2D-3D Registration.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, Chaoyang District, China.
Injuries to the distal tibiofibular joint are often associated with ankle fractures, sports-related injuries, or instability, whereas proximal tibiofibular joint injuries are more commonly present with lateral- or posterolateral-compartment lesions of the knee. These conditions may be related to the relative motion between the tibia and fibula; however, precise movement patterns have yet to be fully elucidated. This study analyzes the relative motion of the tibia and fibula in 16 healthy adults (32 bones; 8 males and 8 females) throughout a normal gait cycle.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes, complications and procedure survival in patients with posttraumatic tibial plateau deformities treated with unicondylar intra-articular tibial plateau osteotomy (UIATPO), comparing medial and lateral approaches.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on all patients with posttraumatic intra-articular tibial plateau deformities who underwent surgical correction at a single centre between 2016 and 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. Patient characteristics, radiological correction, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Lysholm and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), and complications were recorded.
