Proximal humeral fractures with a severe varus deformity treated by fixation with a locking plate [PDF]
We treated 47 patients with a mean age of 57 years (22 to 88) who had a proximal humeral fracture in which there was a severe varus deformity, using a standard operative protocol of anatomical reduction, fixation with a locking plate and supplementation ...

Ankle injury management (AIM) : design of a pragmatic multi-centre equivalence randomised controlled trial comparing close contact casting (CCC) to open surgical reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of unstable ankle fractures in patients over 60 years [PDF]
Background: Ankle fractures account for 9% of all fractures with a quarter of these occurring in adults over 60 years. The short term disability and long-term consequences of this injury can be considerable.

Management of Bennett's fracture: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: First described in 1882, Bennett's fracture is an intra-articular fracture of the first metacarpal associated with a dislocation of the carpometacarpal joint. Usually, open reduction internal fixation is used to manage such fractures. However,
