TL;DR: An applicable and evidence-based, step by step, decision pathway for the diagnosis and treatment of acute ankle injuries is presented, which can be implemented in any emergency department or doctor's practice and provides quality assurance for the patient and promotes confidence in the attending physician.

TL;DR: Ten years after locked plating of displaced proximal humeral fractures, patients show good to excellent outcomes in the majority of cases with no relevant decline compared with the shoulder function 1 year after surgery, however, poor long-term outcome is seen in 16% of patients and relates to a low CS 1 year after surgery.

TL;DR: The overall complication rate of locking plate osteosynthesis for proximal humeral fractures has been decreasing considerably within the last years, among others, this might be due to an increased use of primary RSA for complex fracture types.

TL;DR: The angle-stable locking reflects a potential to maintain fixation stability while reducing the number of locking screws compared with conventional locking in intramedullary nailed unstable distal tibia fractures, and shows high biomechanical properties.

TL;DR: A significant improvement of clinical outcome following removal of hardware from the proximal humerus was found, but a general recommendation for hardware removal is not justified, as the risk of an anew surgical and anesthetic procedure with all possible complications has to be carefully taken into account.
