case_images: A 56-year-old patient with a radial fracture resulting from a car accident was assessed by CT (Figures 1A-D), revealing severe fragmentation and displacement of the radial head and proximal radius. Postoperative imaging (Figures 1E-H) and the final follow-up follow-up assessments demonstrated the patient's successful recovery of joint functionality, with satisfactory flexion, extension, and rotation capabilities.

case_images: A 43-year-old patient involved in a car accident with traumatic brain injury, tibial plateau fracture, and an open wound on the left lower limb underwent hospitalization for wound debridement and treatment of the head injury. x-rays and CT scans (Figures 5A-D) revealed a comminuted fracture of the tibial plateau. The final follow-up follow-up assessments, including imaging studies (Figures 5E,F), and functional follow-ups, demonstrated that the patient achieved a favorable recovery in joint function, with satisfactory outcomes in flexion, extension, and ambulation.
