ical comorbidity. Surgical candidates were younger, more often with higher energy injuries, and were frequently with concomitant injury. Primary union occurred in 88%, with a trend toward a higher rate after ORIF. Patients with chronic liver disease and/or alcohol abuse are at greater risk for nonunion, irrespective of treatment.
Patients managed nonoperatively were more often older patients with isolated fractures and more medical comorbidity.

Loss of reduction (LoR) can occur after locking plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs). find protocol This study determined biomechanical features of fracture fixation associated with preventing LoR postoperatively. One-year reoperation rates were also compared between those with/without LoR.

Population-based administrative data for 359 adults treated using a locking plate for PHF between 2010 and 2016 were examined. Two trained assessors reviewed standardized shoulder radiographs. LoR (Yes/No) was defined as any fracture displacement >0.5 cm, and/or >10° change in neck-shaft angle (NSA) alignment relative to intraoperative imaging. Multiple logistic regression assessed how the following affected maintaining reduction (1) sex, (2) age, (3) Neer classification, (4) shaft impaction (SI), (5) shaft medialization (SM), (6) calcar reduction (CR), (7) NSA alignment, and (8) screw use.

LoR was seen in 79 (22%) patients. LoR was significantly associated with increasing age (odds ratio [OR]= 1.06/yr,
&lteutral or valgus NSA had the lowest rates of LoR. LoR was associated with higher rates of reoperation.
Various surgical strategies have been used for the treatment of sternoclavicular joint instability with variable results. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical results of patients who underwent single-loop allograft reconstruction for sternoclavicular joint instability.

A total of 10 patients underwent single-loop allograft reconstruction for sternoclavicular joint instability from June 2012 to August 2014 by a single surgeon. All patients had a history of instability of the sternoclavicular joint with persistent chronic subluxation of the joint, magnetic resonance imaging disruption of the sternoclavicular ligaments, and persistent symptoms of pain and instability. Regarding the surgical technique, a single 5.5 mm drill hole was placed in the sternum and a second was placed in the medial aspect of the clavicle. A semitendinosus hamstring allograft was looped between the 2 holes and then tied in a square knot anteriorly. A #5 high-strength suture was used as cerclage as well. Nine of 10 paticular joint provides reliable pain relief, functional improvement, and joint stability for patients with chronic sternoclavicular joint instability. The simplicity of the procedure eliminates the need for small, multiple drill holes that may lead to fracture between tunnels or the use of a small, thin graft.

The majority of distal clavicle fractures are displaced fractures and constitute a treatment challenge because they have a 30% chance of delayed union or nonunion. Although several options for surgical reconstruction have been described, in patients with a comminuted and/or small distal fragment, these reconstructive options have proved to be prone to failure. Moreover, secondary surgery for removal is necessary in most cases. We hypothesized that the LockDown device, a braided synthetic ligament device, combined with resection of the distal fracture fragment is a suitable alternative in specified patients with distal clavicle fractures.

Eleven patients with distal clavicle fractures were treated with distal fracture resection and the LockDown procedure. All patients underwent regular follow-up with data collection; additionally, 7 were assessed at 1-year follow-up according to the study protocol. On the basis of radiography, these patients had a clear coracoclavicular ligament disruption and subsequent ctions did not occur. In low-demand patients or patients with a high risk of nonunion, this technique may be a favorable alternative to other known techniques.
All 11 patients had good short-term clinical outcomes. None showed acromioclavicular instability. Furthermore, secondary surgery was avoided, and hardware complications did not occur. In low-demand patients or patients with a high risk of nonunion, this technique may be a favorable alternative to other known techniques.
Pandemic
from cholera-endemic countries around the Bay of Bengal regularly seed epidemics globally. Without reducing cholera in these countries, including Bangladesh, global cholera control might never be achieved. Little is known about the geographical distribution and magnitude of
O1 transmission nationally. We aimed to describe infection risk across Bangladesh, making use of advances in cholera seroepidemiology, therefore overcoming many of the limitations of current clinic-based surveillance.

We tested serum samples from a nationally representative serosurvey in Bangladesh with eight
-specific assays. Using these data with a machine-learning model previously validated within a cohort of confirmed cholera cases and their household contacts, we estimated the proportion of the population with evidence of infection by
O1 in the previous year (annual seroincidence) and used Bayesian geostatistical models to create high-resolution national maps of infection risk.

Between Oct 16, 2015, and Jan 2ogress towards 2030 cholera elimination goals.
