To evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients treated with limited-open retrograde intramedullary headless compression screw (IMHS) fixation for metacarpal neck and shaft fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.

Although tension band wiring (TBW) is generally accepted as standard treatment for olecranon fractures, it has several shortcomings such as loss of reduction, skin irritation, and migration of the K-wires. To overcome these problems and increase fixation stability, we used a rigid fixation technique with double tension band wiring (DTBW). Here, we describe the technique and outcomes of the treatment. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
-
To identify the incidence and risk factors for 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality following operative treatment of distal radius fractures in a multicenter cohort. ⋯ Prognostic II.

A national surgical database was used to determine risk factors for complications in patients undergoing open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures. ⋯ Prognostic II.
