Valgus osteotomy and repositioning and fixation with a dynamic hip screw and a 135º single-angled barrel plate for un-united and neglected femoral neck fractures.
To review the outcome of 60 patients who underwent valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy and its repositioning for un-united and neglected femoral neck fractures. ⋯ Valgus osteotomy and repositioning and fixation with a dynamic hip screw and a 135° single-angled barrel plate was effective treatment for un-united and neglected femoral neck fractures.

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.

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.
