Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing Versus Locked Plating for Extreme Distal Periprosthetic Femur Fractures: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.
To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes after retrograde intramedullary nailing (rIMN) versus locked plating (LP) of "extreme distal" periprosthetic femur fractures, defined as those that contact or extend distal to the anterior flange.

Open pronation abduction ankle fractures associated with increased complications and patient BMI.
Pronation abduction (PA) ankle fractures are often associated with a medial tension failure wound. Though this injury pattern was defined based on the mechanism of injury, there is a paucity of literature evaluating risk factors for understanding which patients will sustain an open PA fracture.

Cranioplasty for large-sized calvarial defects in the pediatric population: a review.
Large-sized calvarial defects in pediatric patients pose a reconstructive challenge because of children's unique physiology, developing anatomy, and dynamic growth. We review the current literature and outcomes with autologous and alloplastic cranioplasty in the pediatric population.

Macrophages and mesenchymal stromal cells support survival and proliferation of multiple myeloma cells
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by almost exclusive tropism of malignant cells for the bone marrow (BM) milieu. The survival and proliferation of malignant plasma cells have been shown to rely on interactions with nonmalignant stromal cells, in particular mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), in the BM microenvironment.
