Open AccessComplications associated with open reduction and internal fixation for adult distal humerus fractures: a multicenter retrospective study
Open reduction and plate fixation are the preferred treatment options for most distal humerus fractures in adults. However, it is often challenging for orthopedic surgeons because of the complex anatomy and th...

The inter-and intra-observer reliability of volar angulation measurements in a fifth metacarpal neck fracture
The fifth metacarpal neck fracture is the most common metacarpal fracture. The palmar angulation from the fracture displacement is critical for determining treatment, yet there is no consensus regarding the an...

Volar locking plate removal after distal radius fracture: a 10-year retrospective study
Distal radius fracture (DRF) is the most common upper extremity fracture. After the introduction of volar locking plate (VLP) fixation, treatment has shifted from conservative management to more operative mana...

Open AccessThe expression of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide is associated with the severity of tendon degeneration in lateral epicondylitis
In this study, we investigated whether substance P (SP) or calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) expression is associated with tendon degeneration in patients with lateral epicondylitis.

Open AccessLong-term outcomes of the modified Nirschl technique for lateral Epicondylitis: a retrospective study
Although the Nirschl technique was introduced approximately 40 years ago, only limited information is available about the long-term results, especially concerning extensor power changes after surgery.

Complications associated with volar locking plate fixation for distal radius fractures in 1955 cases: A multicentre retrospective study
Since volar locking plates (VLPs) have the benefits of more stable fixation and fewer complications, VLP osteosynthesis is now the preferred osteosynthesis method in the operative management of distal radius f...

Dual plate fixation on distal third diaphyseal fracture of the humerus
Displaced unstable distal third fractures of the humeral diaphysis are treated surgically through open reduction and internal fixation. Conventionally, surgeons prefer using long plates for secure fixation; ho...

Open AccessEffects of corticosteroid on the expressions of neuropeptide and cytokine mRNA and on tenocyte viability in lateral epicondylitis
The purpose of this study was to determine the reaction mechanism of corticosteroid by analyzing the expression patterns of neuropeptides (substance P (SP), calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP)) and of cytok...
