Damage control orthopaedics in 53 cases of severe polytrauma who have mainly sustained orthopaedic trauma.
To discuss damage control orthopaedics in 53 cases of severe polytrauma who have mainly sustained orthopaedic trauma. ⋯ Injury Severity Score (ISS(90)) should be 17 in severe polytrauma patients, but in severe polytrauma patients who have mainly sustained orthopaedic trauma, the ISS(90) of bone and joint injuries should be 16. We recommend that primary minimally-invasive external fracture stabilization should be made for extremities and pelvis in these patients to avoid additional surgical trauma and that definitive secondary fracture care should be performed after medical stabilization for these patients in intensive care unit (ICU).

Ultrasonography for non-displaced and mini-displaced humeral lateral condyle fractures in children.
To evaluate the value of ultrasonography in non-displaced and mini-displaced humeral lateral condyle fractures in children. ⋯ High-resolution ultrasonography enable to reveal non-displaced and mini-displaced humeral lateral condyle fractures as well as to ascertain whether the cartilaginous trochlea humeri was involved. For these cases, arthrography or magnetic resonance imaging is unnecessary.
