Preoperative difference between 2D and 3D planning correlates with difference between planned and achieved surgical correction in patient‐specific instrumented total knee arthroplasty Open
Purpose The goals of this study were (1) to assess whether the preoperative difference between modalities and extent of deformity are associated with a higher difference between planned and achieved surgical correction and (2) if they yiel…

A Smaller Tibiotalar Sector Is a Risk Factor for Recurrent Anterolateral Ankle Instability after a Modified Broström-Gould Procedure Open
Background: Several demographic and clinical risk factors for recurrent ankle instability have been described. The main objective of this study was to investigate the potential influence of morphologic characteristics of the ankle joint on…

The coronal alignment differs between two‐dimensional weight‐bearing and three‐dimensional nonweight bearing planning in total knee arthroplasty Open
Purpose The goal of this study is (1) to assess differences between two‐dimensional (2D) weight‐bearing (WB) and three‐dimensional (3D) nonweight‐bearing (NWB) planning in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and (2) to identify factors that infl…

Use of Distal Tibial Cortical Bone Thickness and FRAX Score for Further Treatment Planning in Patients with Trimalleolar Ankle Fractures Open
Trimalleolar ankle fractures show a bimodal age distribution, affecting younger men and older women. Postmenopausal women often exhibit low bone mineral density, which contributes to a higher prevalence of osteoporotic-related fractures. T…

A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Functional Outcome in Distal Fibula Fractures between Conventional AO Semitubular Plating and Minimal Invasive Intramedullary “Photodynamic Bone Stabilisation” Open
(1) Background: As age in western populations is rising, so too are fractures, e.g., of the distal fibula. The aim of this study was to find out whether a novel, minimally invasive intramedullary osteosynthesis technique for the treatment …

Management of Pilon Fractures—Current Concepts Open
Tibial pilon fractures were first described by Étienne Destot in 1911. He used the French word “pilon” (i.e., pestle), to describe the mechanical function of the distal tibia in the ankle joint. This term has further been used to portray t…

Excellent clinical and radiological outcome following locking compression plate fixation of displaced medial clavicle fractures Open
Background Treatment of medial clavicle fractures is still controversially discussed in the community of upper extremity surgeons. An increasing number of symptomatic non-unions following conservative treatment of displaced fractures led t…

Current management of trimalleolar ankle fractures Open
A trimalleolar ankle fracture is considered unstable and treatment is generally performed operatively. Computed tomography is important for the operative planning by providing an elaborated view of the posterior malleolus. Trimalleolar ank…

Patient-Reported Outcome Following Operative and Conservative Treatment of Calcaneal Fractures: A Retrospective Analysis of 79 Patients at Short- to Midterm Follow-Up Open
Background: Fractures of the calcaneus are severe injuries of the hindfoot, mostly resulting from high-energy axial loads, which still present enormous challenges to modern trauma surgery. Possible variables influencing the outcome are the…

Is early full weight bearing safe following locking plate ORIF of distal fibula fractures? Open
Background In the modern western world appraisal of economical points such as treatment and disability after trauma present a financial burden. In this context open reduction internal fixation techniques allowing for early full weight bear…
