Medical care following earthquakes: Clinical, organizational, and logistic challenges
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc. 2023 Nov;57(6):296-300. doi: 10.5152/j.aott.2023.23184.ABSTRACTThe orthopedic load following earthquakes exceeds that caused by any other disaster. This is due to the large number of musculoskeletal injuries due to falling debris, coupled with the widespread damage to general and medical infrastructure, causing a huge imbalance between surgical needs and the ability to address these needs, necessitating a switch in mindset and operational mode. Clinically, the operational mode will be that of damage control surgery, considering "life before limb" with only lifesaving and limb-saving procedures b...

Developing 3D-Printed Wrist Splints for Distal Radius and Scaphoid Fractures
Conclusion The final wrist PSAB model, adapted for fracture treatment, is lightweight, comfortable, and provides anatomical contention. It is currently being tested for the treatment of stable distal radius and scaphoid fractures in comparison to conventional plaster cast.

Use of removable support boot versus cast for early mobilisation after ankle fracture surgery: cost-effectiveness analysis and qualitative findings of the Ankle Recovery Trial (ART)
Conclusions
While the removable boot is slightly more expensive than plaster cast for the NHS+PSS payer at 12 weeks after surgery, it reduces productivity losses and the need for informal care while empowering patients. Given that differences in QALYs and costs to the NHS are small, the decision to use a boot or plaster following ankle surgery could be left to patients’ and clinicians’ preferences.

The 'Shish –Kebab technique' in intra-articular fractures of the hamate body and concomitant 4th metacarpal base fracture
ConclusionIn the management of Hamate body intra-articular fractures and accompanying fourth metacarpal base fracture dislocations, good clinical results can be achieved with the 'Shish –Kebab' method in cases where closed reduction is unsuccessful.
