The novel coronavirus-induced infection (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization onMarch 11, 2020. Iran is one of the countries with a high incidence of COVID-19 infection.Data on three patients with fragility hip fracture and COVID-19 infection were collected from one hospital located inBadrud, Isfahan, Iran, from March 1, 2010, to March 30, 2020. All patients were elderly and had fracture induced by fallfrom standing height.All patients (n=3) were admitted with fragility hip fracture due to low energy trauma. The most common symptoms wereweakness and fatigue. Positive C-reactive protein (CRP) and Leukopenia were the most common abnormal laboratoryevaluations. According to the results, two patients underwent surgical treatment, and one patient had negative reversetranscription-CRP; however, all of them underwent medical treatment for COVID-19 infection.There is a possible relationship between COVID-19 infection and fragility hip fracture in elderly patients. It could beinduced by fatigue and weakness due to COVID-19 disease. COVOID-19 infection should be considered in elderlypatients with fragility hip fracture during the coronavirus pandemic.Level of evidence: IV

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ)fixation with hook plate (HP) and continuous loop double endobutton fixation (CLDE) in the treatment of acute ACJdislocation.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on eight patients with HP and nine patients with CLDE fixations foracute ACJ dislocations. The subjects were evaluated by various criteria, including disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder,and Hand (DASH), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment (ASES), Universityof California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder rating scale, Shoulder Constant score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), andcoracoclavicular (CC) distance.Results: The differences between the mean scores of the visual analog scale for pain, DASH, ASES, UCLAshoulder rating scale, and Shoulder Constant, and SST were statistically significant in favor of the CLDE group.Mean difference of CC distance was 8.6±0.9 mm in the HP group; however, it was 11.6±1.2 mm in the CLDE group.The operation time was shorter in the HP fixation, compared to that in the CLDE fixation (51±13.3 versus 105±9.7min; PHP group.Conclusion: The CLDE fixation was reported with better clinical outcomes than HP fixation; however, it was a technicallydemanding procedure. The HP maintained the CC distance better than CLDE with a technically easy application. TheHP requires a second surgery for the removal and development of subacromial erosion and osteoarthritis of the ACJthat can be regarded as major concerns.Level of evidence: III

The patient was a 61-year-old female with massive rotator cuff tear who had no history of smoking, COPD, asthma, or other pulmonary diseases. Four hours following shoulder arthroscopy, the patient developed progressive dyspnea, which was diagnosed as pneumothorax with subcutaneous emphysema extending to the neck and face. Chest tube was inserted promptly. The patient was discharged with a good condition after 7 days. Follow up of the patient for the next 3 months was uneventful.
