Surgical techniques | “Anti-shortening screw” combined with FNS internal fixation for the treatment of femoral neck fractures
Femoral neck fractures account for 50% of hip fractures. Internal fixation is usually recommended for non-elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, but complications after internal fixation, such as nonunion, femoral head necrosis, and femoral neck shortening, are very common in clinical practice. Currently, many literature studies have focused on how to avoid necrosis after internal […]
What knowledge points should be paid attention to in the surgery of tibial plateau fracture?
General Principles: 1. Patient History: Obtain a detailed history, including mechanism of injury, energy level, and patient-specific factors (e.g., age, bone quality). 2. Comprehensive Examination:Conduct a thorough clinical exam, assessing neurovascular status, range of motion, ligamentous stability, and soft tissue integrity. 3. Advanced Imaging: Utilize X-rays, CT scans, and potentially MRI to fully characterize the fracture pattern, displacement, articular […]

50 knowledge points in hand surgery that are easily misunderstood by doctors
General Concepts : 1. Epinephrine Use: While historically feared due to vasoconstriction risk, epinephrine can be safely used in digital blocks at diluted concentrations (1:200,000 or 1:400,000), with careful aspiration, and potential phentolamine reversal (0.5% solution). Monitor perfusion closely. 2. Betadine and Bone: Betadine, while an effective antiseptic, has been shown to be cytotoxic to osteoblasts in vitro. Irrigate exposed […]
Wound foreign body removal: tips, tricks, and considerations
Soft tissue foreign bodies or wounds associated with foreign bodies result from blunt/abrasive trauma or penetrating trauma. Patients may present early or late with a plethora of symptoms and signs. The foreign bodies can be divided into three groups according to their composition: (a) metallic, (b) organic, and (c) inorganic. This activity reviews the indications, […]

Introducing a special type of forearm injury: the “reverse Essex-Lopresti injury”
▲ Diagram showing the pattern of Essex-Lopresti injury. ▲ The figure shows a typical case of Essex-Lopresti injury. It can be seen that the radial head is comminuted, the proximal radius of the distal radioulnar joint is displaced, and the ulnar styloid process shows positive variation. Essex-Lopresti injury is relatively rare in clinical practice. In […]
