ConclusionOur findings suggest that the use of CSD in ORIF of tibial plateau fractures may not be of significant prophylactic benefit. CSDs in ORIF patients were associated with increased early postoperative pain and had no identifiable benefits.Level of evidenceIII. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

Surgical repair of large segmental bone loss with the induced membrane technique: patient reported outcomes are comparable to nonunions without bone loss
ConclusionOutcomes following treatment of acute bone loss from the diaphysis of long bones with the induced membrane technique produces clinical and radiographic outcomes similar to those of long bone fracture nonunions without bone loss that go on to heal.Level of evidence:III.

A review of wear debris in thumb base joint implants
ConclusionThis review underscores the types of failure modes associated with wear debris in CMC implants. It was found that failure rates and adverse wear conditions of CMC implants of any design are low and the exact relationship between wear debris and implant incidences, such as osteolysis and loosening remains uncertain. The authors note that further research and specific characterization is required to understand the relationship between debris and implant failure.

The effect of spanning external fixation on entrapped structures in tibial pilon fractures
ConclusionEntrapped structures in pilon fractures are likely to remain entrapped post-SEF, with only one-third of our cohort demonstrating release. In 43-C3 patterns, if ES are identified on CT pre-SEF, surgeons should consider addressing these either through mini open versus open approaches at the time of SEF as they are likely to remain entrapped post-SEF.

Preliminary study on the stabilization of varus proximal femoral osteotomies using pediatric LCP plates in adults undergoing combined correction of proximal femoral and acetabular dysplasia
ConclusionThe pediatric proximal femoral LCP is effective for PFO in combined PAO PFO procedures but has a high rate of lateral hip discomfort leading to implant removal. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)
