The surgical treatment of mandibular condylar fractures represents one of the most discussed topics in maxillofacial trauma surgery. Over the years the literature has documented an increasing attitude towards open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of these fractures. Some authors have recently increased the indications for ORIF to include intra-articular fractures, which have historically been managed conservatively1,2,3. The authors present their experience in the surgical treatment of intra-articular condylar fractures over a period of five years, from 2009 to 2014. Surgical techniques, early and delayed complica-tions, clinical and radiological outcomes and comparison with conservative treatment are discussed. Keywords: Mandibular Fracture, Condylar Fracture, Trauma.

Clavicular fractures are common in sport practice, they are easily diagnosed and have a relative good forecast. Nevertheless there is no consensus among orthopedic surgeons regarding treatment for displaced midle-third clavicular fractures (Robinson’s classification 2B2) and lateral-third fractures. The tendency toward operative treatment is increasing due to the earlier sport recovery. Objectives: The aim of the paper is to present the results of treatment of 98 clavicular fractures in the Clinic Gastaldi of Traumatology during the period from 1997 to 2016, analyzing the radiologic and clinical results. Methods: The serie consists of 89 patients, 80 males and 9 females, average age 32.2 years. From them, 89 were agude fractures and 9 nonunion (after conservative treatment). According to the Thomsom classification there were 82 middle-third and 16 lateral-third. Motorbike sport trauma was the cause of 49 patients (55%), bike trauma in 18 (20%), 18 (20%) fractures occurred due to contact sports and 3 other causes. All patients were surgically treated. We used an antero-superior approach, open reduction and internal fixation with antero-superior plate osteosynthesis. In case of nonunion we decorticated the fracture callus, adding intramedullary reaming and graft bone. PRP (Platelet Rich-Plasma) was used in 8/9 patients. Postoperatively, the patients were placed in a sling. After that they began a rehabilitation program that consists of isometrics, pendular and active movements until 45° during 3 weeks. From 4th to 6th week, active movements until 90°. The patients began free movements after the 6th week. Results: Fracture healing mean was 10 weeks. Bikes and motorbikes were able to ride again between 10 to 21 days after surgery (once removed stitches). All patients retrieved full shoulder range of motion and returned to their previous activity level. Complications: we had no nonunion rates after surgical treatment, neither infections. 1 case of insufficient plate fixation and 4 re-fractures which required surgical treatment. Conclusion: We suggest surgical treatment for clavicular fractures in adult patients, contact sports with IIB and IIIB fractures, re-fractures and painful nonunion. Surgical treatment with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of displaced middle-third clavicular fractures achieved shorter time to complete return to sport and earlier bone union.

Background: The treatment of calcaneal fractures is challenging. Internal fixation and grafting with sintered β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ceramic is alternative to bone grafting in the treatment of calcaneal fractures. Methods: Seventy-four patients with intraarticular calcaneal fractures were treated with open reduction, internal fixation and grafting with sintered β-TCP ceramic. Followup was performed using the Maryland foot score as well as plain radiography. Results: All patients were followed for 15 (range, 12 to 26) months. Clinical results as assessed by the Maryland foot score were excellent in 40 of 74 cases (54.1%), good in 28 (37.8%), and fair in 6 (8.1%). Immediately after surgery, the mean Böhler angle was improved by 23 degrees, and 1 year after surgery, the mean Böhler angle decreased by 4 degrees. A similar change was also seen in Gissane angles and the height and width of the calcaneus. There was no statistical correlation between the severity of fracture and functional outcome in this series. All fractures healed. Conclusion: These findings suggest that use of β-TCP combined with open reduction and internal fixation is an effective and safe method for the surgical treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Level of Evidence: IV, Retrospective Case Study

IntroductionFractures of the diaphysis of the clavicle are common; however, treatment guidelines for this condition are lacking. Surgery is associated with a lower risk of non-union and better functional outcomes but a higher risk of complications. Open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws are the most commonly performed techniques, but they are associated with paraesthesia in the areas of incisions, extensive surgical exposure and high rates of implant removal. Minimally invasive techniques for treating these fractures have a lower rate of complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate which surgical treatment option (minimally invasive osteosynthesis or open reduction and internal fixation) has better prognosis in terms of complications and reoperations.Methods and analysisThe study proposed is a multicentric, pragmatic, randomised, open-label, superiority clinical trial between minimally invasive osteosynthesis and open reduction and internal fixation for surgical treatment of patients with displaced fractures of the clavicle shaft. In the proposed study, 190 individuals with displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, who require surgery as treatment, will be randomised. The assessment will occur at 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 weeks, respectively. The primary outcome of the study will be the number of complications and reoperations. For sample size calculation, a moderate effective size between the techniques was considered in a two-tailed test, with 95% confidence and 90% power. Complications include cases of infection, hypertrophic scarring, non-union, refracture, implant failure, hypoesthesia, skin irritation and shoulder pain. Reoperations are defined as the number of surgeries for pseudoarthrosis, implant failure, infection and elective removal of the implant.Ethics and disseminationStudy approved by the institutional ethics committee (number 34249120.9.0000.5505—V.3). The results will be disseminated by publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations in medical meetings.Trial registration numberRBR-3czz68)/UTN U1111-1257-8953.

Introduction Common treatment strategies for proximal humerus fractures include non-surgical treatment, open reduction internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. There is currently no consensus regarding the superiority of any one surgical strategy. We used network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to determine the most successful treatment for proximal humerus fractures. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fracture treatments. Data extraction included the mean and standard deviation of clinical outcomes (Constant, DASH), adverse events, and additional surgery rates. Standard Mean Difference was used to compare clinical outcome scores, and pooled risk ratios were used to compare adverse events and additional surgeries. Results Eight randomized controlled trials were included for network meta-analysis. Non-surgical treatment was associated with a lower rate of additional surgery and adverse events compared to open reduction internal fixation. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty resulted in fewer adverse events and a better clinical outcome score than hemiarthroplasty. Non-surgical treatment produced similar clinical scores, adverse event rates, and additional surgery rates to hemiarthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Conclusion Non-surgical treatment results in fewer complications and additional surgeries compared to open reduction internal fixation. Preliminary data supports reverse total shoulder arthroplasty over hemiarthroplasty, but more evidence is needed to strengthen this conclusion.
