👴 👵 Fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) are a serious concern in elderly patients, but what do we really know about their prognosis? 🤔

🆕 📖 A new systematic review and meta-analysis provide some sobering data on 1-year mortality rates and how they vary by fracture type and treatment.

🚩 Key takeaways from the study 👇

🔹 The overall 1-year mortality rate for FFP is a concerning 15.5% 💔

🔹 FFP III fractures have the highest mortality (17.0%). Surgery showed a trend toward a lower mortality rate than conservative care for this group.🦴

🔹 FFP I fractures are the most stable, with a lower mortality rate (13.0%) and a clear consensus for conservative treatment. 📊

🔹 The most common type, FFP II fractures, is still a subject of debate with no clear treatment consensus.

⚠️👉 This research highlights the need for a more personalized approach and further research to optimize patient care.

🆕 📚 A new systematic review and meta-analysis on ACL reconstruction rehabilitation provides key insights for clinicians.

🔬 The study compares home-based vs. supervised protocols, a critical question in managing patient recovery.

👉The findings highlight a clear distinction 👇

🔹 Functional Recovery: Both protocols are comparable for improving subjective knee scores. 🤝

🔹 Muscle Strength: Supervised rehabilitation shows a significant advantage in restoring muscle strength, particularly in the hamstrings. 💪

📊 This research reinforces the need to tailor rehabilitation strategies based on patient goals, especially for those returning to high-demand activities.

❔ How do these findings align with your clinical experience?

Let's discuss in the comments. 👇

🙄Ever wonder why there’s so much debate about frozen shoulder? 🤔💪

A 🆕 survey from EFORT Open Reviews asked European shoulder surgeons how they define, diagnose, and treat the condition, and the results are fascinating – and a bit controversial! 📊

🚩Here's what they found 👇

🔹 The Big Two: Most surgeons agree the main features are pain 😖 and movement restriction 🚫.

🔹 Back to Basics: Patient education 🧑‍🏫 and physical therapy 🏃‍♀️ are the top choices for non-surgical treatment.

🔹 Injectable First: The preferred pharmacological treatment? Corticosteroid injections. 💉👍

🔹 Controversial Choices: Here's where it gets interesting! Over 70% of surgeons surveyed do not use hydrodilatation 💧 or manipulation under anesthesia, highlighting a clear divide in practice! 🤯

📚 The study confirms there's a need for more uniform guidelines, which would be a huge step forward for patient care.

➡️ Read the full article ⬇️ to learn more about the ongoing debates!

🤔 Curious about how your shoulder works after a reverse shoulder replacement? 🦾

A 🆕 📰 article in EFORT Open Reviews tackles the "scapulothoracic conundrum"—the often-overlooked relationship between your shoulder blade and your chest.

🚩Here’s what the research uncovers 👇

🔹 The Rhythm is Different: After a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), the normal 2:1 scapulohumeral rhythm (the ratio of arm to shoulder blade movement) changes, with the shoulder blade doing more of the work. 💃

🔹 It’s All About Posture: Your posture can directly impact the best way to place an implant, and poor posture can negatively affect your outcome. The article even shows different posture types!

🔹 Beyond the Surgery: The authors emphasize that understanding these biomechanical changes is crucial for effective postoperative rehabilitation and achieving the best possible results. 💪

🌟 This is a deep dive into the "why" behind arm movement after rTSA. A must-read for anyone interested in the future of shoulder surgery! ⤵️
