This study analyzes 250 pelvic fracture patients treated with sacroiliac or transiliac-transsacral screw fixation over 12 years. Painful hardware was reported by 18.4% of patients, leading to implant removal at an average of 6.7 months post-surgery. All patients who underwent removal experienced significant pain reduction, with no complications recorded.

The relationship between patient health literacy and surgical outcomes is an increasingly popular topic within healthcare circles. To our knowledge, no specific assessment of shoulder health literacy has been validated in the literature, and the role that health literacy has in the outcomes of shoulder-arthroplasty patients is unclear.

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury that is found predominantly in athletes that undergo extensive repetitive lower extremity movement such as runners and cyclists. Despite extensive literature relating to ITBS, the quality of evidence and research trends remain unclear.

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common orthopedic procedures globally, with wound closure playing a critical role in postoperative recovery and complication prevention. Despite advances, the optimal closure technique remains debated. This narrative review evaluates current wound closure techniques in TKA highlighting their biomechanical and clinical outcomes.

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate both the rates and clinical factors associated with bone health (BH) referrals and the subsequent completion of BH evaluations in elderly patients following hip fractures.

Femoral shaft fractures are a common cause of pediatric orthopedic hospitalization. In children aged 6 months to 5 years, treatment typically involves fracture reduction and hip spica casting. The use of hematoma blocks for perioperative pain management has shown efficacy in other settings but has not been evaluated in pediatric femoral shaft fractures treated with spica casting.
