Design: Radiographic review of consecutive patients with ≥1-year clinical follow-up who received 1 manufacturer's ILNs implanted in the femur and/or tibia from February 2012 to July 2021. Setting: Single tertiary-care center. Patients/Participants: Two hundred twenty-six limbs with titanium ILNs and 57 limbs with stainless-steel ILNs. Intervention: Precice titanium ILN (NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, San Diego, CA) and Stryde stainless-steel ILN (NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics). Main Outcome Measurements: Radiographic outcome data and complications. Results: Of 226 limbs with titanium ILNs, 160 (70.8%) had periosteal reaction, and 2 (0.9%) had osteolysis. Periosteal reaction and osteolysis rates in stainless-steel ILNs (57 limbs) were 39% and 26%, respectively. No adverse tissue reaction-related device failures were noted with titanium. Several other complications presented, notably hip and/or knee tissue contracture (141), consolidation problems (8), and needing peroneal nerve decompression (14). Conclusions: Osteolysis incidence was substantially less among the titanium population, supporting the claim that observed osteolysis in the stainless-steel cohort was attributed to its construct. On average, periosteal reaction was radiographically appreciated later in patients with titanium than stainless steel. Further study is needed to confirm this finding.

With global efforts to improve fertil-iser quality, harvesting technology and water resources, what role can R&D and mobile communications play in transforming agriculture in Africa? \" Mobile technology can radically transform smallholder farmers' access to critical and timely information, \" says Fiona Smith, mAgri programme director at GSMA, an association of mobile operators. \" New mAgricul-ture services being developed allow farmers to call a helpline and get advice from an agriculture extension service provider or receive personalised daily agriculture alerts through SMS or voicemail. They can exchange up-to-date information on pests and diseases, seed and input varieties, weather, market prices and so on. In many African countries, agricultural extension agents are stretched to service up to 4,000 farmers each, which results in long delays between visits. Mobile phones provide a complementary way to reach farmers with timely and personalised information. \" In Nigeria, Nokia is active in this area with Nokia Life, a phone-based information service that provides updates tailored to the subscrib-Technological innovation, especially in mobile, will be critical to improving agricultural productivity, but R&D funding must be ramped up after years of neglect er's needs, such as weather reports; advice on when to sow crops, use fertiliser and harvest; and current prices for crops and fish. Meanwhile, Sustainable Harvest, an Oregon-based coffee importer, has rolled out mobile-based technology to farmers across Lat-in America and Africa. Its Relationship Information Tracking System collects coffee data, including information on where coffee was washed, dried and stored, to help smallholder producers increase their cooperative's competitiveness and transparency. It has piloted the technology with the Kilicafe cooperative in Tanzania. \" By tracking key data, starting from individual farmers, Kilicafe received the information it needed to maximise the availability of their highest quality coffees and identify areas for quality improvement overall, \" says Pam Kahl, director of communications at Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers. \" To date the programme has registered almost 3,400 farmers and tracked 131,485 kilograms of coffee – $170,472-worth – all using the RITS Producer system.

Objective: To compare surgical outcomes between combined hip procedure (CHP: open reduction and internal fixation [ORIF] with total hip replacement) and ORIF alone for the treatment of displaced acetabular fractures in a geriatric population. Design: Retrospective case–control study. Setting: Academic Level 1 trauma center. Patients: Consecutive patients from 2012 till 2020 with acetabular fractures fitting inclusion criteria were enrolled. Intervention: Combined hip procedure or ORIF alone for displaced acetabular fractures. Main Outcome Measurement: Revision surgery at the latest follow-up, defined as the need for implant revision in the CHP group and conversion to total hip replacement in the ORIF group. Results: The need for revision surgery was lower in the CHP group (12.5%) compared with the ORIF alone group (25%). The median time for conversion to total hip replacement in the ORIF alone group was 2.6 years. Ten-year survivorship was significantly higher in the CHP group (85.7% vs. 45.8%, P < 0.01). Patients in the CHP group presented with higher American Society of Anesthesiologists and Charlson index scores and had more marginal impaction and concomitant femoral head fractures. Conclusions: In patients older than 75 years presenting with a displaced acetabular fracture with marginal impaction or femoral head fracture, survivorship of CHP is higher than ORIF alone. A combined hip procedure should be considered in such patients. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level III.

The anterior humeral line passed through the middle third of the capitellum in 88.5% of cases. When observing the proportion of radiocapitellar lines passing through the middle third of the capitellum in the AP, with increasing age an increasing proportion of lines pass through the middle third of the capitellum [from 8.3% in group 1 (0 to 3 years) to 94.1% in group 6 (16 to 18 years), p = 0.001] and lateral projection (from 50% in group 1 to 100% in group 6, p = 0.023) and anterior humeral line (from 25% in group 1 to 100% in group 6, p = 0.0001).

Outcome Measures and Comparisons: Morbidity, defined as 90-day reoperation, 90-day readmission, or loss of mobility, as well as 1-year mortality compared between patients with closed and open fractures. The open cohort was older (75 years vs 68 years; p=.003) but had similar Charlson Comorbidity Indices (CCI) (4.6 O vs 4.0 C; p=.323) and pre-injury rates of independent ambulation (70.4% O vs 80.9% C; p=.363). There were higher rates of 1-year mortality (11% vs 0%; p<0.001), deep infection (14.8% vs 3.9%; p=.019), and loss of mobility (64.7% vs 23.0%; p<0.001) in the open cohort.

Despite having comorbidities and pre-injury function similar to the closed geriatric ankle fracture cohort, open ankle fracture was independently predictive of greater loss of mobility. Nearly two-thirds of geriatric patients with open ankle fractures experienced a decline in functional independence, compared with 1 in 4 of those with closed fractures.
