Utilization of Orthopaedic Trauma Surgical Time: An Evaluation of Three Different Models at a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center
ConclusionsThe institution of more flexible and physician‐directed half‐call and full‐day blocks did result in delays in treatment. However, it also has demonstrated benefits to patients in reducing the number of operative cases performed after weekday peak staffing hours; helped our institution better manage its staffing and financial resources; and provided the treating surgeon flexibility in determining the timing of operative care.

Mixed Fixation and Interbody Fusion for Treatment Single‐Segment Lower Lumbar Vertebral Disease: Midterm Follow‐up Results
ConclusionUnilateral pedicle screw fixation combined with contralateral translaminar facet screw fixation and interbody fusion showed good mid‐term outcomes in the treatment of single‐segment lower lumbar vertebral disease, and can be used as an optimal choice for fixation and fusion of some single‐segment lower lumbar vertebral diseases.

Biomechanical Evaluation of Cross Trajectory Technique for Pedicle Screw Insertion: Combined Use of Traditional Trajectory and Cortical Bone Trajectory
ConclusionsThe cross trajectory technique offered superior fixation strength over the TT and CBT techniques in each plane of motion. This technique may be a valid option for posterior fusion, especially in osteoporotic spine. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Acute Limb Shortening for Major Near and Complete Upper Extremity Amputations with Associated Neurovascular Injury: A Review of the Literature
In the setting a near or complete upper extremity amputations with significant soft tissue loss and neurovascular compromise, upper extremity surgeons are faced with the challenge of limb salvage. There are a multitude of treatment options for managing skeletal and soft tissue injuries including provisional fixation, staged reconstruction, and an acute shortening osteotomy with primary rigid internal fixation. However, many complications are associated with these techniques. Complications of provisional fixation include pin tract infection and loosening, tethering of musculotendinous units, nonunion, and additional surgeri...

Periprosthetic Distal Femur Fracture after Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review
In conclusion, the most frequent type of periprosthetic distal femur fracture after total knee arthroplasty was Rorabeck type II. The most common treatments for these types of fractures are locked plating and intramedullary nailing, with similar healing rates of 87% and 84%, respectively. However, the complication rate for locked plating was lower than for intramedullary nailing. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Consensus on Surgical Management of Hallux Valgus from China
Hallux valgus deformity is one of the most common diseases in foot and ankle surgery. Satisfactory outcomes tend to be achieved only through operative correction. However, selection of the optimal surgical strategy is always a controversial topic, and the rate of dissatisfied patients postoperativelyis still very high. It is well known that there are various pathological changes in hallux valgus deformity, so it is impossible to use one specific procedure to solve all the problems. It requires a careful preoperative physical examination and radiographic assessment to choose the best operation for each kind of deformity acc...

Fixation of Metacarpal Shaft Fractures: Biomechanical Comparison of Intramedullary Nail Crossed K‐Wires and Plate‐Screw Constructs
ConclusionsAlthough plates are the most stable means of fixation of midshaft metacarpal fractures, if minimally‐invasive techniques are indicated, intramedullary nails may provide equivalent stability as commonly‐used XK‐wires. Although some studies have shown favorable clinical outcomes with IMNs, additional clinical correlation of these biomechanical results to fracture healing and outcomes is needed.
