Comparative StudyComparison of functional outcomes among subtypes of Fraser's type Ⅱ floating knee.
The poor prognosis in patients with floating knee injuries is mainly contributed to articular involvement (Fraser's type Ⅱ). This study aims to evaluate and compare the functional outcomes among different Fraser's type Ⅱ floating knee injuries after surgical management. ⋯ The results of this study show that patients with Fraser's type ⅡA fractures had a better functional outcome as compared to those with type ⅡB and ⅡC fractures. This might be due to the open intra-articular involvement of the distal femur of the latter two fracture types.

Greater knee joint laxity remains in teenagers after anatomical double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction compared to young adults.
There is paucity in studies regarding double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (DB-ACLR) in teenagers. The purpose of this study is to investigate clinical outcome after DB-ACLR and analyze whether any differences exist between teenagers and young adults. ⋯ III.

The clinical prognostic value of the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS), in the context of vertebrectomy for neoplasia, has not yet been established. This retrospective study of 134 patients aims to evaluate the efficacy of the SINS to predict outcomes and survival after vertebrectomy for malignancy. ⋯ This study demonstrates a statistically significant increased survival in the indeterminate cohort. These results demonstrate the potential ability of the SINS to act as a clinical prognostic tool with regard to survival time.

Adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the simplified Chinese version of the identification of functional ankle instability questionnaire in Chinese-speaking patients with chronic ankle instability disorders.
The aims of this study were to adapt the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) questionnaire into a simplified Chinese version and to assess its reliability, validity, and responsiveness in Chinese-speaking patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) disorders. ⋯ The SC-IdFAI scale may be an effective tool, and it is responsive, reliable and valid for the assessment of Chinese patients suffering from CAI.

Most patients with spinal tumors suffer no symptoms or have mild symptoms, but about 14% of patients have refractory pain caused by mechanical instability, or symptoms of spinal cord damage caused by epidural spinal cord compression. The Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) and Kostuik classification are commonly used to evaluate spinal stability, and help to make a more detailed operation plan. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of the SINS and Kostuik classification, and to explore their clinical application value. ⋯ Compared with the Kostuik classification system, the SINS scoring system has better interobserver reliability and intraobserver reproducibility, which can be widely used in clinical practice and has great significance in the decision-making of spinal tumor treatment. Although the Kostuik classification system is often used in clinical practice, it shows inferior reliability and reproducibility in our study.
