Fixation for metaphysealdiaphyseal junction noncomminuted fracture of the distal humerus in children Kwire or ESIN how to decide
The metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction (MDJ) fracture of the distal humerus has posed significant difficulty clinically, as the increased height of the distal fragmant makes it hard for Kirschner wires to reach the proximal fragment. Our previous study provided suggestions for the choice of fixation in...On : 29-Aug-2025- Source : Frontiers in Pediatrics -

Bioresorbable hyaluronic acid alginate hydrogel use in total ankle arthroplasty to control postoperative scarring
Maintenance of ankle joint range of motion has been shown to lead to lower pain and higher patient satisfaction following ankle replacement. Presented in this study is the use of a hyaluronic acid alginate hydrogel at the time of index surgery to decrease the risk of peri-prosthetic scarring.On : 29-Aug-2025- Source : Journal of Surgical Case Reports -
What happens to the elbow 15 years after a radial head prosthesis A clinical and imaging longterm followup study
Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) has increasingly become the standard treatment for non-reconstructable radial head fractures, especially in young active patients where long-lasting function restoration is of paramount importance. However, long-term evidence of the results over time is still scarce. T...On : 29-Aug-2025- Source : Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery -
Gracilis Free Flap Technique for Elbow Flexion Reconstruction
