Subtrochanteric femur fractures in the elderly are primarily osteoporotic fractures that result from low-energy falls [ 1 ]. These fractures are traditionally treated with a long cephalon-medullary nail [ 2 ], with restricted weight-bearing for …

The context of functional management or the Ponseti method for congenital idiopathic talipes equinovarus (CTEV), a dynamic deformity involving adduction and supination of the foot is frequently observed [ 1 ]. This complex three-dimensional …

The widespread interest in artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly increased among the general population, largely due to the emergence of conversational AI interfaces such as ChatGPT. This language model, developed by OpenAI, utilizes 175 …

Supracondylar femur fractures (SCFF) typically result from high-energy traumas, such as traffic accidents and falls. They account for less than 1% of all fractures and approximately 3–6% of all femur fractures [ 1 ]. These fractures may also occur …

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a common method used to prevent medial osteoarthritis in varus deformities. Lateral hinge fracture is the main complication of the HTO, which occurs in 14% to 25% of cases [ 1 ]. It may cause instability, malunion or …

Ankle and distal tibia fractures account for 9% and 0.7% of all fractures in adults, respectively, with their incidence increasing proportionally with age [ 1 ]. The main treatment goal of intra-articular fractures is precise anatomical reduction …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major cause of failure of total joint arthroplasty, with incidences reported of between 1 and 2% of all cases, and is quickly becoming one of the most common indications for revision surgery [ 1 , 2 ].

A meniscal ramp lesion is a longitudinal tear that occurs at the meniscocapsular junction or the meniscotibial ligament of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus [ 1 , 2 ]. The actual incidence of meniscal ramp lesions is often underestimated …

Proximal humerus fractures occur in 5–6% of all fractures in the human body [ 1 ]. With the acceleration of population aging, this fracture often occurs in elderly patients over 65 years old, accounting for approximately 68% of all proximal humeral …

Perilunate dislocations and fractures (PLD/PLFDs) are rare injuries of the wrist, comprising only 7% of all injuries of the carpus [ 1 ]. PLFDs are more usual than PLDs, in which the scaphoid bone is mainly fractured [ 2 ]. Most of these injuries …

Total knee arthroplasty is a successful operation but there are several causes of failure, such as infection, aseptic loosening, instability of periprosthetic fractures, the number of revision knee arthroplasty (RTKA) is increasing, and the number …

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide, with excellent results [ 1 ]. The survival rate of prosthetic implants is over 95% at 15 years in primary surgery [ 2 ]. Age of THA has decreased, and …

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an effective treatment for medial compartment femorotibial arthritis of the knee joint and varus deformity by producing a valgus limb alignment and shifting the load-bearing axis of the lower extremity laterally [ 1 – …5

Clavicle fractures comprise 2.6–4% of all fractures in adult patients [ 1 , 2 ]. They are usually caused by direct trauma and are very common in contact sports, horse riding, cycling, or motocross [ 2 , 3 ]. Therefore, they usually occur in young …

Postoperative wound infection after spinal surgery, especially after instrumentation, represents a serious problem and a challenge for physicians [ 1 – 3 ]. Delayed wound healing leads to morbidity, pain, and discomfort and requires prolonged …

The hamstring tendon (HT) autograft is currently the most widely utilised autograft option for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, recent studies endorse the peroneus longus tendon (PLT) autograft as a viable alternative. To …

In the era of bundled payments, patient-reported outcomes, and quality-incentivized reimbursements, total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are at the forefront of cost, value, and indication discussions [ 1 – 7 ]. The global …

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a commonly performed surgical intervention for ACL injuries and is generally known to be successful in restoring patients to pre-injury activity levels [ 1 ]. The incidence of ACLR has increased …

Proximal humerus fractures account for 2% of all fractures in skeletally immature patients [ 1 ], and lesions in this area involving only the physis are even rarer [ 1 , 2 ]. The need for patients with proximal humeral lesions to undergo surgery is …
