GUEST EDITORIAL
In the Eye of the Beholder: Rethinking "Success" in Orthopedic Trauma
Michael Suk, MD, JD, MPH, Beate P. Hanson, MD,
and David L. Helfet, MD
Drs. Suk, Hanson, and Helfet applaud the increasing use of patient-reported outcomes measures and a better understanding of outcomes measures selection in defining success in orthopedic trauma. They point to the next challenge in outcomes research: bridging the gap between existing validated outcomes measures and patient/surgeon expectations.

O'Donnell and colleagues present radiological and and clinical data from 118
patients treated with the "Tobruk" method over a 3-year period. They
have found plaster-of-Paris augmentation of a Thomas’ splint to be a relatively
safe and effective way of treating these fractures in children.

Fixation of Unstable Distal Radius Fractures With Intrafocal Pins and Trans-Styloid Augmentation: A Retrospective Review and Radiographic Analysis
Nabil A. Ebraheim, MD, Syed S. Ali, MD, and Nicholas K. Gove, MD
This technique was found to be highly effective and safe, achieving restoration
of radiographic parameters, excellent fracture reduction, and good functional
outcomes. |

Bilateral
Galeazzi
Fracture-Dislocations
Olivier Borens, MD, Eric L. Chehab, MD, Matthew M. Roberts, MD, David L. Helfet,
MD, and David S. Levine, MD
Dr. Borens and colleagues treated a motorcyclist who sustained bilateral Galeazzi
fracture-dislocations with an irreducible distal radioulnar joint on one side.
They describe the surgical technique used and recommendations for optimal management
strategies for acute TFCC lesions in the setting of a Galeazzi fracture.
Tethered Lateral Patellar Dislocation
as a Complication After Galeazzi Procedure
MAJ Daniel B. Judd, MD, COL William Burkhalter, Jr., MD,
and David H. Kim, MD
A modified reduction maneuver and a short period of immobilization followed by
appropriate rehabilitation are prescribed by the authors for this complication.

Lisfranc
Joint Injuries:
Diagnosis
and Treatment
Stephen A. Hunt, MD, Christopher Ropiak, MD, and Nirmal C. Tejwani, MD
Noting that Lisfranc joint injuries often go undiagnosed or inadequately treated,
resulting in poor long-term outcomes, the authors provide an overview, with recommendations
for early recognition and treatment. |
