Clinical Outcomes
Studies of what happens to patients after orthopaedic injury and treatment: recovery, complications, and how practice varies. The work includes weight bearing after pelvic ring fixation, hip fracture outcomes across the pandemic, review articles, and case reports.

What this lane asks
Recovery
When can weight bearing advance after pelvic ring fixation without compromising the result?
Complications
How did hip fracture outcomes change before, during, and after the pandemic?
Cases
What do delayed or unusual presentations teach about diagnosis and management?

Calcaneus Fractures: A Review of Management, Treatment, and Recent Advances
Calcaneus fractures remain challenging fractures that are prone to complications. Surgery was previously restricted only to those with soft-tissue envelopes amenable to the extensile lateral approach. However, with the development of the sinus tarsi approach and other percutaneous techniques, more prompt surgical interventions with lower complication rates have become possible. Restoration of hindfoot morphology and facet congruity are the primary goals of surgery. Complications including posttraumatic subtalar arthritis, infection, wound dehiscence, and malunion can be minimized with deliberate treatment decisions.

Pelvic Ring Injuries: Stable or Not?
Pelvic ring injuries occur in varying severity and in vastly different patient demographics. Knowledge regarding which of these injuries require surgical intervention and which can be managed nonsurgically continues to evolve. Previous studies have shown validated criteria for sacral fractures and the posterior ring, explored the role of examination under anesthesia, and other forms of dynamic imaging. Although there is substantial information available, a comprehensive synthesis of this information is lacking. This article provides a comprehensive review of radiographic markers suggestive of stability, discusses treatment strategies, and proposes a treatment algorithm that is easily understood and applicable to not only those with a trauma background but also the general orthopaedic surgeon who will see these injuries frequently while on call.
