The aim of the study was to assess the role of kyphoplasty and expandable intravertebral implants in the treatment of traumatic vertebral compression fractures. A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed/MEDLINE database according to PRISMA guidelines regarding kyphoplasty and expandable intravertebral implants in the treatment of traumatic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures. A total of 611 records were screened. In total, 51 studies were obtained referring to traumatic vertebral fractures treated with kyphoplasty; however, of these, only studies addressing traumatic burst fractures were selected, resulting in 12 studies: 10 about kyphoplasty and 2 regarding armed kyphoplasty. [...] After the discussion, where we address the concepts of direct and indirect reduction, the association of kyphoplasty with pedicle fixation, the potential advantages of expandable intravertebral implants, as well as the vertebral body type of filling in kyphoplasty, it is concluded that kyphoplasty demonstrates favorable outcomes as a method of posterior percutaneous transpedicular access for reconstruction of the anterior column in burst fractures. It allows for the reconstruction of the vertebral body closer to its original anatomy, carried out in a minimally invasive and safe way, which provides a clinical-functional and imaging improvement maintained at the medium–long term.

Major amputations of the lower extremity may be required after trauma and a variety of underlying diseases such as peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, and malignancies. The goal of any major amputation is an optimal functional result with a maximum limb length in combination with optimal wound healing. The preservation of the knee joint is essential for successful rehabilitation, and this is best achieved by the Burgess below-knee amputation (BKA). Whenever a BKA is not possible, the Gritti–Stokes amputation is our first choice. This technique mainly consists of a through-knee amputation with the creation of a pedicled patella flap consisting of the patella, patellar ligament, and overlying soft tissue. After osteotomy of the distal femur and resection of the articular surface of the patella, the anterior flap is rotated in order to cover the femur defect while performing a patellofemoral arthrodesis. The aim of this paper is to describe our surgical technique and experience with GSA and to point out the important steps of this procedure. In conclusion, GSA is an excellent surgical option for patients requiring major lower limb amputations where BKA cannot be considered. Particular attention must be paid to careful preoperative evaluation and optimization of comorbidities. A meticulous surgical technique is warranted, including atraumatic tissue handling and an optimal patellofemoral arthrodesis technique.

Brachymetatarsia involves a reduction in length of one or more metatarsals. The affected metatarsal is shortened by 5 mm or more, altering the normal metatarsal parabola. In addition to being an aesthetic deformity, it can present with pain due to transfer metatarsalgia. A possible association with genetic disorders needs to be investigated during clinical evaluation. Surgical treatment may involve a one-stage lengthening procedure or progressive distraction, each having its advantages and limitations.

A variety of instabilities are grouped under multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder. This makes understanding its diagnostic process, presentation and treatment difficult due to lack of evidence-based consensus. This review aims to propose a novel classification for subtypes of MDI. A systematic search was performed on PubMed Medline and Embase. A combination of the following 'MeSH' and 'non-MesH' search terms were used: (1) Glenohumeral joint[tiab] OR Glenohumeral[tiab] OR Shoulder[tiab] OR Shoulder joint[tiab] OR Shoulder[MeSH] OR Shoulder joint[MeSH], (2) Multidirectional[tiab], (3) Instability[tiab] OR Joint instability[MeSH]. Sixty-eight publications which met our criteria were included. [...] MDI is defined as symptomatic instability of the shoulder joint in two or more directions. A comprehensive classification system that considers predisposing trauma and the presence of hyperlaxity can provide a more precise assessment of the various existing subtypes of MDI.
