Multicenter Study
Predictors of postoperative complications of tension band wiring techniques for patella fracture: A retrospective multicenter (TRON group) study.
The relationship between postoperative complications and operative techniques of tension band wiring (TBW) is not well studied. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of implant breakage, implant migration, and loss of reduction in patellar fractures treated with TBW and identify radiographic factors associated with these postoperative complications. ⋯ This study highlights the importance of bending both ends of the K-wires and proper placement of the tension band and K-wires in reducing postoperative complications in patellar fractures treated with TBW. Further research is needed to better understand the risk factors associated with loss of reduction.

Multicenter Study
Retrospective multicenter (TRON group) study of humeral shaft fragility fractures: Analysis of mortality rates and risk factors.
This study aimed to show the mortality rate following humeral shaft fragility fractures (HSFF) in the elderly. The secondary aim was to examine the predictors associated with mortality in elderly patients who have sustained HSFF. ⋯ The outcome following HSFF in the elderly population appears to be relatively grim. The prognosis of elderly patients with HSFF is closely related to their medical history. In the elderly patients with HSFF, operative treatment should be positively considered while taking into account their medical status.
