Jan 13th, 2023 - Lateral humeral condyle fractures account for 12% to 20% of all distal humerus fractures in the pediatric population. When surgery is indicated, fixation may be achieved with either Kirschner-wires or screws. The literature comparing the outcomes ...

Jan 5th, 2023 - Studies on extremely severe elbow stiffness after chronic dislocation in children are scarce. This study aims to investigate the choice of surgical treatment modalities and to analyze their treatment efficacy in children with chronic elbow disloca...

Nov 28th, 2022 - This international registry will collect prospective treatment and outcomes data on specific, key non-pathological fractures in children with open physes. The long-term goal is to build this registry to include all fractures according to the AO pe...

Oct 8th, 2022 - Distal humerus fractures are common and can be difficult to treat. No one approach to the distal humerus has been shown to be superior to another; however, the olecranon osteotomy remains the gold standard for complex, intra-articular fractures. U...

Sep 17th, 2022 - Multiple surgical treatments exist for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs), but current practice patterns and short-term complication profiles remain poorly understood. This is in part due to changes in treatment paradigms over the past decade. A mo...

Nov 28th, 2022 - This international registry will collect prospective treatment and outcomes data on specific, key non-pathological fractures in children with open physes. The long-term goal is to build this registry to include all fractures according to the AO pe...

Apr 27th, 2022 - 3D preoperative planning will be applied for four distal humerus fracture cases . The preoperative planning will be performed in order to determine the reduction, placement and choices of implants. After the operation, the accuracy of the reductio...

Apr 21st, 2022 - A multi-institutional, prospective randomized clinical trial will be employed to determine if single dose, limited field radiation therapy (XRT) will prevent post-traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO) after open reduction internal fixation of in...

Feb 15th, 2022 - Heterotopic ossification is the formation of ectopic lamellar bone in the soft tissues. The process is thought to occur through local and distal recruitment osteoprogenitor cells especially mesenchymal stem cells which lead to HO formation based o...

Nov 30th, 2020 - Comminuted intra-articular distal humerus fractures (DHF) in the elderly population (over 65 years) have long been a treatment dilemma. Fixation of the fracture often results in development of arthritis and is associated with severe arthrofibrosis...

Sep 1st, 2015 - There are limitations to our study. There is no gold standard for assessing the accuracy of classification decisions.
