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

open access: yesClinical 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‐

Surgical management of an open humeral fracture in a greater rhea (Rhea americana): Internal placement of a locking compression plate and post‐operative complications

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
SUMMARY A 17‐year‐old, 24‐kg, female greater rhea (Rhea americana) presented with an acute onset of left wing droop. Clinical examination and radiographs revealed an open, simple, displaced, short‐oblique diaphyseal fracture of the distal third of the left humerus.

Surgical correction of closed simple metatarsal fractures in a pet rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) with intramedullary pins

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 4‐month‐old pet rabbit was presented with intermittent left pelvic limb lameness, painful and swollen left metatarsal region. Radiographs revealed complete simple fractures of the left metatarsal bones II, III and IV. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed using intramedullary pins.

Revision of a nonunited subtrochanteric femoral fracture around a failed intramedullary nail with the use of RIA products, BMP-7 and hydroxyapatite: a case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction Femoral subtrochanteric fractures are commonly treated using intramedullary devices. Failure of the implant and subsequent nonunion is still an issue, however, and limited evidence exists regarding the most appropriate treatment.

Finite‐Element Comparison of a Proximal Femoral Laterally Bionic Intramedullary Nail (PFLBN) Versus PFNA and PFBN for AO/OTA 31‐A3.1 Intertrochanteric Fractures

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 1029-1041, May 2026.
This study used finite element analysis to compare the stress distribution and displacement characteristics of three intramedullary fixation constructs—proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN), and proximal femoral laterally bionic intramedullary nail (PFLBN)—for AO/OTA 31‐A3.1 intertrochanteric fractures.
