Partial Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament Injuries: A Systematic Review of Treatment Options
Conclusion All interventional treatment options (ES, AC, and OC) provided significant improvements in patient-reported pain, range of motion, grip strength, and radiographic parameters, with low complication rates. In comparison, no improvement in range of motion or grip strength was noted in the NT group. Therefore, surgical management of pSLIL injuries is an effective and relatively safe treatment option. Further studies comparing the outcomes of specific surgical treatments are warranted to further elucidate the optimal management option for pSLIL tears. Level of Evidence Level III, systematic review of Level III...

Do Orthopedic Trauma Surgeons Adhere to AAOS Guidelines when Treating Distal Radius Fractures?
Conclusions: When compared to the AAOS CPG and AUC, orthopedic trauma surgeons generally followed accepted treatment guidelines. Differing practices between surgeons with <10 years in practice compared to those with >10 years in practice may be reflective of what is taught in residency training programs.

A rare cause of type 1 complex regional pain syndrome: Osteoblastoma of the talus.
We report a 14-year-old boy who presented with pain in the left foot and ankle for about 9 months. The clinical symptoms of the patient suggested complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging studies ravealed a bone tumor in the talus, consistent with an osteoblastoma. The patient underwent operative treatment with curettage and grafting. The complaints of the patient completely resolved by 6 months after surgery, and there was no recurrence at the postoperative 23th month follow-up. PMID: 30100373 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does socioeconomic status influence the epidemiology and outcome of distal radial fractures in adults?
ConclusionsSocioeconomically deprived patients sustaining a distal radial fracture are more likely to be younger and male. Outcome is not influenced by socioeconomic status, but the prevalence of CRPS is greater in more affluent patients.

Adverse Event Rates and Classifications in Medial Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy
Conclusion: The most common adverse event in MOW HTO requiring extended nonoperative treatment (class 2) is delayed union (12%). The rate of severe adverse events requiring additional surgery and/or long-term medical care (class 3) is low (7%).

Undislocated fracture of cuneiform I bone complicated by language barrier.
Abstract A 30-year-old non-German speaking patient suffered an ankle sprain while playing beach volleyball. Conventional radiography did not reveal any fractures. The patient was treated with a Geisha cast for immobilization and relief and was also informed about pain-dependent weight bearing using an illustrated information sheet. In the course of the healing process the patient consulted the orthopedic department a second time. During a third visit he left before consultation as he felt that the waiting time was too long. Because he disagreed with the treatment he visited an orthopedist who ordered a magnetic re...

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I: Incidence and Risk Factors in Patients With Fracture of the Distal Radius
Conclusions: CRPS I occurs frequently during the third and fourth week after cast removal, especially in women who report severe pain and impairment of physical QOL. Additional prospective studies are required to verify these findings in comminuted and operated fractures of the distal radius.

Complex regional pain syndrome type I. Incidence and risk factors in patients with fracture of the distal radius.
CONCLUSIONS: CRPS I occurs frequently during the third and fourth week after cast removal especially in women who report severe pain and impairment of their physical quality of life. Additional prospective studies are required to verify these findings in comminuted and operated fractures of the distal radius. PMID: 24080349 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
