Does Combined Intravenous and Topical Tranexamic Acid Offer Additional Benefit Compared With Intravenous or Topical Alone in Open Elbow Arthrolysis—A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1183-1190, June 2026.
Open elbow arthrolysis is a common method for treating post‐traumatic elbow stiffness. Intravenous, topical, or combined tranexamic acid administration showed no significant difference in reducing postoperative blood loss after open elbow arthrolysis. However, both combined and topical tranexamic acid significantly reduced postoperative drainage volume

Uncommon Mechanism of Mangled Lower Limb Trauma: Case Report of Salvaged Leg Post Gear Box Explosion Injury

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Mangled limb injuries, typically caused by high‐energy trauma, present significant challenges in surgical decision‐making, particularly when considering limb salvage versus primary amputation. While common mechanisms include vehicular or industrial accidents, unconventional etiologies are rarely documented. We report a unique case of a 43‐year‐

Postoperative weightbearing timing after distal femur osteotomy is not associated with rates of union or complications: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1776-1786, May 2026.
Abstract Purpose To assess the outcomes and complication rates of early weightbearing (either immediate weightbearing as tolerated or partial weightbearing) and delayed weightbearing (an initial period of non‐weightbearing or toe‐touch weightbearing) following distal femoral osteotomy (DFO).

Hybrid External Fixation as A Comprehensive, Safe, and Effective Solution for Periarticular Tibial Fracture with Soft Tissue Compromise

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: High-energy trauma to the knee and ankle resulting in complex periarticular fractures of the tibia is usually difficult to treat using conventional plating methods owing to the association of poor soft-tissue conditions. The hybrid external
