TL;DR: Prevention has been shown to be the single most important factor to slow down the increasing incidence of hip fractures, and more research into prevention is required.

TL;DR: Percutaneous repair of a ruptured Achilles tendon is a safe and reliable method of treating such injuries in patients with low sporting requirements and has a lower incidence of wound complications compared with open techniques but a slightly higher incidence of re-rupture.

TL;DR: Analysis of the patient flow at the emergency department of Galeazzi Orthopaedic Institute in Milan compared to the same period in 2019 demonstrated marked differences in length of emergency department stay, request for chest radiographs, discharge diagnosis, triage color-code at admission and discharge, and emergency department arrival and discharge modalities.

TL;DR: The present study established the frequency and pattern of injuries sustained by the cohort of young intensively trained young British athletes originally enrolled in the TOYA study, 10 years after completion of the survey.

TL;DR: The present study supports the use of either peroneus brevis or flexor hallucis longus for reconstruction of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures and indicates the need for surgeons to carefully reinforce the attachment of the transferred tendon grafts to the stumps of the Achilles tendon to prevent pullout.
