Comparative Study
Anterior-Inferior Plating Results in Fewer Secondary Interventions Compared to Superior Plating for Acute Displaced Midshaft Clavicle Fractures.
To determine whether a difference in plate position for fixation of acute, displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures would affect the rate of secondary intervention. ⋯ Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Comparative Study
Application of AOSpine Subaxial Cervical Spine Injury Classification in Simple and Complex Cases.
Cervical spine injury classification systems should be simple, easy to relate and remember, reliable guide for surgical planning, and predictor of outcome in clinical settings. We investigated whether the AOSpine subaxial cervical spine classification system predicted injury severity and neurologic outcome. ⋯ The AOSpine subaxial cervical spine injury classification system successfully predicted injury severity (longer IMLL) and chances of neurologic recovery (AIS grade conversion) across different class subtypes.

Comparative Study
Operative Treatment of 2-Part Surgical Neck Fracture of the Humerus: Intramedullary Nail Versus Locking Compression Plate With Technical Consideration.
To compare the outcomes of patients who underwent either open reduction internal fixation with a locking plate and screws or closed reduction internal fixation with an antegrade intramedullary nail (IMN) for displaced surgical neck fracture of the humerus. ⋯ Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Determine the incidence of the delayed diagnosis of orthopaedic injuries in pediatric trauma patients. ⋯ Prognostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

To compare the outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) between patients with failed proximal humeral locking plate (PHLP) fixation and those with acute fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
