Comparative Study
Femoral neck fracture after removal of the compression hip screw from healed intertrochanteric fractures.
To evaluate the incidence of femoral neck fracture (FNF) after removal of a compression hip screw (CHS) without trauma and to determine the risk factors for this type of fracture. ⋯ Prognostic level II.

Clinical Trial
The effect of acute distal radioulnar joint laxity on outcome after volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures.
The objective of this study was to determine whether intraoperative laxity of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is associated with adverse postoperative outcomes after volar plate fixation of a distal radius fracture (DRF) and 4 weeks of immobilization. ⋯ Prognostic level I.
-
To evaluate the effects of implementing a multidisciplinary geriatric hip fracture program on clinical outcome measures at our institution. ⋯ Therapeutic level III.

Comparative Study
Clinical implication of subgrouping in valgus femoral neck fractures: comparison of 31-B1.1 with 31-B1.2 fractures using the OTA/AO classification.
This study aimed to identify the clinical implications of valgus-impacted femoral neck fractures and compare fractures with >15-degree angle of impaction (31-B1.1) against fractures with <15-degree angle of impaction (31-B1.2). ⋯ Therapeutic level III.

Determining the rate of specific adverse events after volar plating performed for distal radius fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic level IV.
