To evaluate fracture healing in mandible of rats under zoledronate therapy. ⋯ Zoledronate therapy delayed healing process of mandibular fracture in rats in a dose-dependent manner.

Resuscitation strategies following blunt trauma have been linked to immuno-inflammatory complications leading to systemic inflammatory syndrome (SIRS), sepsis and multiple organ failure (MOF). The effect of resuscitation strategy on longitudinal inflammation marker trajectories is, however, unknown. We hypothesized that the effect of resuscitation strategy extends beyond the trauma-related coagulopathy, perhaps affecting the longitudinal immuno-inflammatory response to injury. ⋯ Resuscitation strategy employed following blunt trauma has limited association to longitudinal inflammation marker trajectories, with a potential association between the strategy employed and IL-1β, TNFR2, and MIP-1β trajectories, respectively.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Sliding hip screw versus intramedullary nail for trochanteric hip fractures; a randomised trial of 1000 patients with presentation of results related to fracture stability.
To determine the optimum choice of implant for a patient with a the different types of trochanteric hip fracture. ⋯ This study is the first adequately powered randomised trial on this topic and demonstrates that there are no notable differences in either process or functional outcomes between these two treatment methods, other than a tendency to better regain of mobility for those fractures fixed with an intramedullary nail.

With nearly 50 years' of development, Injury has become one of the leading journals in its specialty. The aim of this article is to identify, analyze the characteristics of the 100 most cited articles published by the journal to date. ⋯ This study may help researchers to find out the important information on the classic articles and provides useful insights for the authors who want to publish their research in Injury.
