In , Nakken et al. found that the best splint configuration for keeping posterior heel pressure below the threshold associated with dermal arteriolar capillary collapse (32 mm Hg) requires 8-10 layers of evenly applied padding while floating the heel.

"I didn’t realize until reading this (study) just how common or severe the harm (from splint-induced skin ulcers) can be," writes Seth Leopold MD in the Editor's Spotlight on this article. "Apparently, (they) are the second most common iatrogenic cause of plastic surgery referrals."

"We hope this (study) will lead to some uniformity in splinting—a procedure that happens thousands of times every day in this country, and yet we have no 'best practice' model to guide clinicians," writes senior author James R. Holmes MD in his Take 5 interview, which is free to read all month.

🚩 Free to read all month: Each December, Seth Leopold MD uses his editorial to thank 's peer reviewers and highlight an important matter related to research or publishing. This time, instead of "yelling once more at any clouds that look like an LLM," he thought it was "only fair" to ask for ChatGPT-4o's thoughts on the abuse, misuse, and undisclosed use of AI in scientific reporting.

: In , Gao et al. found that postoperative infections and certain types of patellar fractures (A1, C1.3, and C3) were risk factors for developing patella baja after patellar fracture surgery.

"Based on the findings of Gao et al., we ought to try to develop novel techniques to effectively reduce and stabilize inferior pole fractures," writes Thomas A. DeCoster MD in a commentary. "Case series of inferior pole patella fractures should specifically try to detect clinically important levels of knee function loss."

In , Quevedo González et al. found that the thickness of medial augments had little impact on the risk of cement-implant debonding, regardless of whether a metaphyseal cone was used.

"Contrary to current belief, (our) findings suggest that medial augments with appropriate cementing technique increase the stability of revision tibial components," the authors write.

These results suggest that surgeons may confidently use medial augments alone when addressing isolated medial defects, while reserving the combined use of augments and cones for bicompartmental defects where the risk of debonding is higher," writes Bernardo Innocenti PhD in a commentary.

: In , Huang et al. used MRI-based 3D modeling to explore the anterolateral ligament footprints of Chinese and White patients and found that its position and length varied between the two groups.

"These race-specific discrepancies highlight the need for personalized surgical approaches," the authors write.

"While (this) study provides supporting evidence of using such advanced imaging techniques to assess regional anatomy, the requirement for manual segmentation is somewhat cumbersome and may not be practical in the typical busy orthopaedic setting," writes Hollis G. Potter MD in a commentary. "Fortunately, machine learning–derived segmentation algorithms are becoming more available to provide automatic segmentation and facilitate analysis."

📢 Free to read through Nov. 29: "In today’s hypercompetitive match environment, students face increasing pressure to optimize metrics, build flawless CVs, and chase publications that may or may not reflect their clinical interests," writes medical student Camila Vicioso BA in the latest . "I think now is the time for educators to be asking: Are we cultivating future orthopaedic surgeons who are grounded in purpose and prepared to connect with patients or those who are pushed into tunnel vision by a system that prioritizes metrics over meaning?"
