Association Between Surgical Timing and Clinical Outcomes in Elbow Fracture Management
Elbow fractures, including distal humerus, radial head and neck, and olecranon injuries, pose significant surgical challenges due to complex anatomy and the high risk of postoperative stiffness. Early fixation has been advocated to restore alignment and enable early mobilization, but concerns regarding soft tissue readiness and patient optimization often delay intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early (<48 hours) and delayed (48 hours-14 days) surgical fixation on functional outcomes and postoperative complications following elbow fractures.

Causes of Distal Clavicle Osteolysis and Treatment Options
Distal clavicle osteolysis is shoulder joint pain at the end of the collarbone that is the result of bone disintegration and damage. The most common symptom is a sharp or aching pain at the junction of the acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) and collarbone. While the pain is usually felt during activity, there may also be a persistent tenderness around the joint during non-activity. Inflammation and swelling are also common manifestations.
