Five-Year Follow-up of Adolescent Gymnasts After Surgical Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Elbow
Elbow osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is well-studied in throwing athletes; however, there are limited data regarding gymnasts with capitellar OCD lesions. We aimed to determine the overall rate of return to competition following surgical treatment of capitellar OCD lesions and to determine the relationship, if any, between arthroscopic grade of lesion and ability to return to competition.

Does Radiographic Alignment Correlate With Patient-Reported Functional Outcomes and Posttreatment Complications in Older Patients Treated for Wrist Fractures?
Surgical treatment of distal radius fractures provides better fracture alignment than closed reduction; however, surgical treatment does not lead to better patient-reported function at 12 months. The aims of this study were to report the radiographic outcomes from the Combined Randomized and Observational Study of Surgery for Fractures In the distal Radius in the Elderly trial, investigate the association between radiographic outcomes and patient-reported function, and explore whether this association was affected by posttreatment complications and direction of malalignment.

Harms Reporting in Randomized Controlled Trials Underpinning the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Clinical Practice Guidelines for Distal Radius Fractures
The purpose of this study was to measure the harms-related reporting among randomized controlled trials (RCTs) cited as supporting evidence for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons clinical practice guidelines regarding the management of distal radius fractures.

Evaluation of the Distal Extent of Visualization Using Volar Approaches for Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures
Distal radius fractures may include difficult-to-treat fractures of the volar ulnar corner, colloquially termed as the “critical corner.” These fragments are problematic because they are often missed, and their fixation is difficult. We aimed to compare the distal extent of the exposure of the volar surface of the distal radius between the classic Henry approach and the extended flexor carpi radialis (EFCR) appr oach.
