This letter evaluates the methodological shortcomings in the FEA research conducted by Ma et al. (2025) that contrasts hook plates with tension-band wiring for patellar fractures. Unresolved concerns consist of: uniform bone material characteristics simplifying biomechanics; static loads neglecting dynamic physiological forces; idealized fracture spaces missing clinical variation; and unverified interfaces exaggerating stability. These gaps may exaggerate the effectiveness of the implant. We suggest personalized modeling, simulations of dynamic loading, and studies on mesh convergence to enhance clinical significance. Tackling these issues would enhance forthcoming evaluations of orthopedic devices based on FEA.

We commend Bassa et al.'s study on VTE risk in acute SCI patients. We propose further exploring rehabilitation strategies, genetic polymorphisms (e.g., factor V Leiden), and inflammatory markers (e.g., CRP, IL-6) to refine personalized VTE prophylaxis and management in this population.

This letter addresses the research conducted by Lin et al. regarding the shock index (SI) as an indicator of compensated shock in normotensive trauma cases. We acknowledge the authors' efforts while highlighting significant limitations: overlooked confounding due to cardioactive drugs, survival bias from omitting early fatalities, influences of prehospital fluid resuscitation, and insufficient age-specific SI thresholds. We additionally challenge transfusion as a surrogate for shock and emphasize the variation in injury mechanisms. Suggestions consist of modifications in pharmacovigilance, incorporation of early mortality statistics, and multi-center confirmations with microcirculatory outcomes.
