Mid-term outcome (11-90 months) of the extensor retinaculum flap procedure for extensor carpi ulnaris tendon instability.
The aim of our study was the assessment of the mid-term outcome of patients treated with a pediculated extensor retinaculum flap for extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon subluxation including postoperative tendon stability control. ⋯ The pediculated extensor retinaculum flap as a treatment for a symptomatic ECU instability shows good to excellent results and a high subjective satisfaction independent of postoperative ECU tendon displacement.

Weight-bearing restrictions reduce postoperative mobility in elderly hip fracture patients.
Reduced mobility is a severe threat to the clinical outcomes and survival of elderly hip fracture patients. These patients generally struggle to comply with partial weight bearing, yet postoperative weight-bearing restrictions are still recommended by nearly 25% of surgeons. Therefore, we hypothesized that weight-bearing restrictions in elderly hip fracture patients merely leads to reduced mobility, while transposing full weight to the fractured extremity remains unaffected disregarding the prescribed aftercare. ⋯ Weight-bearing restrictions in elderly hip fracture patients contributed to a loss of mobility, while no significant differences in loading of the affected extremity were observed. Therefore, postoperative weight-bearing restrictions in elderly hip fracture patients should be avoided, to achieve early mobilization at full weight bearing.

Fifty top-cited classic papers in orthopaedic oncology: a bibliometric analysis.
Citation analysis has been used to evaluate the impact of papers in medicine. There has been multitude of orthopaedic oncology-related papers in literature, to our knowledge no citation analysis of orthopaedic oncology papers has been performed. We identified the 50 most-cited orthopaedic oncology papers and evaluated these papers in terms of their time of publication, source journals, countries, institutions, authors, and main topics. ⋯ It is difficult to define the exact impact of a single paper in the literature. In doing citation analysis, it provides us perspective in the history and progress of orthopaedic oncology.

Multivariable analysis of anatomic risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament injury in active individuals.
The aim of the present study was to compare the morphometric differences between patients with or without anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and identify the anatomic risk factors associated with ACL injury in active individuals. ⋯ Case-control study; Level of Evidence, III.
