Role of machine learning in management of degenerative spondylolisthesis: a systematic review
Conclusions:
Although the proposed results may be misleading, the studies provided evidence to suggest that two-thirds of the patients with grade I spondylolisthesis were stable enough to tolerate decompression without fusion, but that one-third of the patients appeared to develop instability over time. This instability often led to reoperation for spinal fusion at the level of listhesis. It is possible to create a predictive machine learning algorithm that is calibrated and accurate to predict discharge placement.

Internal hemipelvectomy for primary pelvic tumors, first experience in Peru: a case series
Internal hemipelvectomy (IH) is a newer surgical choice for pelvic tumors. It involves resection of the tumor, reconstruction of the pelvis without sacrificing the neurovascular structures, and preservation of the lower limb. We aimed to describe first experience with IH in primary pelvic tumors in Peru. Four patients aged 17 to 49 years old at the time of diagnosis were included. 75% were chondrosarcomas, and 25% were chondroblastomas. The IH types were 50% type II, 25% type I-A, and 25% type III. The neoplasm sizes differed from 5cm to more than 20 cm. Postoperative complications were right hip arthrosis, transient uri...

Patients’ perceptions of receiving orthopaedic care during a pandemic: a patient survey
Conclusions:
Patients remained interested in receiving orthopaedic care in the midst of a pandemic. As a result, physicians need to ensure that they effectively communicate what safety precautions are in place and what additional infection prevention measures are available.

Clinical outcomes between long and short proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-II) devices in the management of extracapsular hip fractures: a retrospective cohort study
Conclusions:
The purported extra stability of the unlocked, long PFNA-II device in extracapsular hip fractures has not been demonstrated in this study. Hence, we recommend the short PFNA-II device in extracapsular hip fractures due to its superior cost-benefit advantage.

Management trends of clavicular fractures at a level 1 trauma center: a retrospective chart review
Background:
Controversy remains regarding optimal treatment of clavicular fractures, despite evidence touting lower nonunion rates for operative interventions. Given increasing evidence supporting operative treatment, the goal of this study was to observe trends in operative versus nonoperative treatment over a 15-year period.
Methods:
One thousand and eighty nine patients with any clavicular fracture (AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association 15A to 15AC) between 2004 and 2018 were identified. Patient records were queried for demographic information, injuries to the head or chest, and treatment modality (ope...

Comparison of closed and open reduction internal fixation of acutely displaced unstable lateral humeral condylar fractures in children: a prospective cohort study
Conclusions:
Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of lateral humeral condylar fractures gave the same results in bone healing without the complications of skin-incision healing that were found in open reduction.

All aperture fixation technique of anatomical medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with semitendinosus double loop graft: a retrospective case series
Background:
The all-aperture fixation technique for anatomical medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using a double-loop semitendinosus autograft has been proposed as a strong and biomechanically sound surgical procedure. The aim of the study was to describe the surgical procedure and report the early and mid-term results of MPFL reconstruction using patellar knotless anchors and femoral interference screws. These procedures were performed in the same institution.
Methods:
This is a retrospective case series studying 10 patients with chronic patellofemoral instability who underwent anatomical MPFL...

A novel universal medial approach for difficult posteromedial tibial plateau fractures: a prospective case series
Conclusions:
The posteromedial approach offers a very good access to view, reduce, and fix difficult posteromedial fractures together with comminuted tibial plateau fractures without the need for dissection of the neurovascular bundle in the fossa or soft-tissue injury.

The comparison of medial longitudinal arch development in normal feet and flexible flatfeet in preschool children with an 18-month follow-up: a retrospective case-control study
Conclusions:
The results of this study indicated that the medial longitudinal arch development was lower in preschool children with flexible flatfoot than in the control group. This lower development was shown by higher AI.
