Comparative StudyPolyaxial versus uniaxial volar locking plate for distal radial fractures.
To compare the penetration of the distal screws in relation to the thickness of the distal metaphysis in the polyaxial versus uniaxial volar locking plates. ⋯ The polyaxial volar locking plate system enabled deeper insertion of distal screws into the subchondral bone, and thus providing better buttress for the fracture fragments.

To evaluate outcome in 20 patients treated for periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ The locked compression plate is effective in managing periprosthetic femoral fractures. Periprosthetic patellar and tibial fractures are uncommon. The latter often warrant revision arthroplasty owing to the loose implant.

Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using tibial or hamstring tendon allografts.
To report outcomes of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using tibial or hamstring tendon allografts and to compare with another study using non-irradiated fresh-frozen bone-patellar tendon-bone allografts. ⋯ Revision ACL reconstruction using tibial or hamstring tendon allografts provided acceptable results, similar to those using the bone-patellar tendon-bone allografts.
