Unveiling Biases of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Navigating the Promise and Pitfalls
We commend Rubinger et al. on their insightful exploration of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in research and healthcare, a valuable contribution to this critical discourse (1). Their work addresses pressing issues, prompting us to delve deeper into the nuanced realm of artificial intelligence to shed light on the hidden biases that may pose as potential pitfalls in the transformative journey of research and healthcare.

Evaluation of the accuracy of diagnostic coding and clinical documentation for Traumatic Heterotopic Ossification diagnoses in Western Australian Hospitals
Traumatic heterotopic ossification (tHO) refers to the development of extra-skeletal bone in muscle and soft tissues following tissue insult secondary to trauma [1]. Cases of tHO are broadly classified into three aetiological categories: neurogenic HO resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI); orthopaedic HO developing after fracture, dislocation and soft tissue trauma; and HO following burns and high-velocity blast injury [2,3]. Traumatic HO typically manifests as a progressive condition marked by rapid movement loss at affected joints and severe pain [4]. (Source: Injury)

Thigh Compartment Syndrome: Outcomes in an Urban Level 1 Trauma Center
Thigh compartment syndrome (TCS) is a rare surgical emergency associated with a high risk of morbidity with mortality rates as high as 47%. There is sparse literature discussing the management as well as outcomes of these injuries. The purpose of this study is to review a consecutive series of patients presenting to a single urban Level 1 trauma center with TCS to identify injury characteristics, clinical presentation, and outcomes associated with this injury.

Inadequate Harms Reporting Among Randomized Controlled Trials Cited as Supporting Evidence in the AAOS Management of Hip Fractures in Older Adults Clinical Practice Guideline Recommendations
Hip fractures in elderly patients are a major public health concern worldwide as they are associated with a significant financial burden as well as increased morbidity and mortality.[1,2] In the United States, the yearly incidence is estimated to be 197 –201 and 511–553, per 100,000, for men and women, respectively.[3] Lewiecki et al. reported more than 2 million hip fractures among women (≥ 65 years of age) in the United States from 2002–2015, with a mean of 149,964 hip fractures annually.[4] Surgical treatment is nearly always indicated f or hip fractures in older adults, and total costs for care has been estimat...

Traumatic Brain Injury is Common and Undertreated in the Orthopaedic Trauma Population
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a condition that occurs due to exaggerated mechanical forces applied to the head resulting in a disruption to normal brain function [1]. These disruptions can manifest in varying degrees of patient impact from subtle cognitive changes, to largely altered mental states [2]. TBI impacts patient recovery from traumatic events and can cause long term mental effects such as dementia, stroke, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression [1]. TBI can also have effects beyond the patient by increasing burden on patients ’ families and the broader healthcare system. (Source: Injury)

Do we fix front and back of every APC pelvic injury?
HISTORY – A 47-year-old male was on a cliff when he jumped into the water below. He jumped about 50 feet. Upon landing in the water, he felt his legs separate and abduct violently. He was taken to the Emergency unit of the nearest trauma center and was found to have no injuries except to his pelvis. He co uld not weight bear because of pelvic pain but had normal distal sensory and motor exam and rectal exam. His pelvis was painful to examination anteriorly with minor left-sided posterior SI pain, and he had no blood at his meatus. (Source: Injury)

We would like to thank Shn üriger et al. for their thought-provoking letter regarding our study analyzing the trends and outcomes of resuscitative thoracotomy in adults following penetrating trauma, as the subject relates to organ procurement [1,2]. While organ donation is critically important, and the gift of life is invalu able, as stated, the ethical dilemma behind pursuing resuscitative thoracotomy for the primary goal of organ procurement is substantial.
