TL;DR: National hip fracture care guidelines in 4 of the largest countries in Latin America are described, describing national guidelines, audits, standard treatment approaches in each country and regional policies; with the goal of understanding and comparing the different guidelines.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe union, reoperation and failure rates after using the induced membrane (IM) technique with ≥50% allograft over autograft to treat infected femoral and tibial segmental bone defects (SBD).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess if the fracture and/or nonunion of extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) affected the behavior and survival of modular fluted and tapered distal fixation stems.

TL;DR: Lower pain rates and narcotics consumption after total knee replacement generate happier patients, which leads to an early start of physical therapy and earlier discharge from hospital, which should be considered a strong tool against pain after TKR.

TL;DR: The Masquelet technique, or induced membrane technique, offers a reasonable and simple alternative to a highly challenging problem, such as infected segmental bone defects, achieving a consolidation rate greater than 90% even in complex cases.
