A Study on Distinguishing ChatGPT-Generated and Human-Written Orthopaedic Abstracts by Reviewers: Decoding the Discrepancies.

Background: ChatGPT (OpenAI Incorporated, Mission District, San Francisco, United States) is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based language model that generates human-resembling texts. This AI-generated literary work is comprehensible and contextually relevant and it is really difficult to differentiate from human-written content. ChatGPT has risen in popularity lately and is widely utilized in scholarly manuscript drafting.

The Role of 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Instrumentation in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Literature Review.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is currently one of the most common orthopedic surgeries due to the ever-increasing average life expectancy. The constant need for effective and accurate techniques was contributed to the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing in that field, especially for patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and custom-made implants fabrication. PSI may offer numerous benefits, such as resection accuracy, mechanical axis alignment, cost-effectiveness, and time economy.

Atraumatic dislocation of a modern rotating hinge total-knee prosthesis. A rare but devastating complication.

The number of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) is rising in many countries along with the numbers of the revision TKA. Rotating hinge knee (RHK) implants have a fundamental role in the revision TKA and their design has evolved during the last years becoming appealing to many surgeons worldwide. They are mainly used in cases where large bone defects and severe soft tissue imbalance exist.

Bilateral Medial Epicondyle Fracture Without Elbow Dislocation in a High-Level Adolescent Gymnast Athlete: A Rare Case.

Isolated medial epicondyle fracture constitutes a common fracture in children's and adolescent's elbow and is highly associated with an elbow dislocation. Cases with bilateral medial epicondyle fracture with concomitant elbow dislocation have been previously described in literature, while cases without an associated elbow dislocation are lacking. In this article, a bilateral medial epicondyle fracture without elbow dislocation in an adolescent high-level gymnast athlete is reported.

Comparison of various treatment modalities for the management of bone marrow edema syndrome/transient osteoporosis in men and non-pregnant women: a systematic review.

Unlabelled: Transient osteoporosis (TO) or bone marrow edema syndrome (BMES) is a self-limited clinical condition, which affects middle-aged men and women. It can be treated with miscellaneous conservative and surgical measures, which are analyzed in this systematic review.

Introduction: BMES/TO is a transient clinical entity, which can be treated with various therapeutic modalities.

Anterior Tibial to Dorsalis Pedis Bypass to Manage Acute Ischemia Attributed to Pilon Fracture.

Pilon fractures of the distal tibia are usually the result of a high-energy trauma and can affect seriously the arterial vasculature carrying an increased risk of amputation at the malleolar level or higher. Such cases represent a challenge for the orthopedic surgeons and a multidisciplinary approach is mandatory in order to salvage the threatened limb. We present an unusual case of a closed pilon fracture with injury of all tibial vessels leading to acute limb threatening ischemia.

Hand compartment syndrome due to extravasation of contrast medium. A technical error. A report of a case and review of the literature.

The extravasation of contrast agents is one of the most common and remarkable complications during a computed tomography (CT) scan. The clinical manifestations are commonly minimal, leading to mild symptoms. However, in rare cases of high-volume extravasation, the complications are extremely threatening.

Neglected Stiff Equinocavus Foot Deformity Treated with Cole Osteotomy, Combined with External Ilizarov Hinged Frame Fixation, Soft-Tissue Release, and Achilles Tendon Lengthening: A Case Report.

Stiff equinocavus foot deformities are challenging clinical entities that may be treated with osteotomies and extensive soft-tissue release. The most common causes of such lesions are neglected trauma and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; other causes include burns, neurologic diseases, and compartment leg syndrome. Conventional treatments, including extensive soft-tissue release, osteotomies, and arthrodesis combined with or without internal splinting, may result in severe complications such as neurovascular or soft-tissue damage and shortening of the foot.

Extreme stiff knee recurvatum following manipulation under anesthesia and botulinum neurotoxin injection.

In this article we report a case of stiff, neglected extreme recurvatum knee deformity in a 17-year-old female. This is the first reported case in the literature of an acquired ligamentous stiff extreme knee recurvatum following manipulation under anesthesia and botulinum neurotoxin injection. Μodified Judet quadricepsplasty combined with Ilizarov external hinged frame fixation was implemented.

The efficacy and safety of bisphosphonates in patients with bone marrow edema syndrome/transient osteoporosis: A systematic literature review.

Background: The purpose of our systematic literature review study was to critically analyze all current data including time to achieve pain relief and resolution of bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with bone marrow edema syndrome (BMES) when using bisphosphonates.

Methods: A systematic review was performed to address studies which concerned the efficacy and safety of bisphosphonates in patients with BMES. A systematic search was conducted by two investigators using databases including Pubmed and Scopus.

Bone marrow edema syndrome/transient osteoporosis of the hip joint and management with the utilization of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Transient osteoporosis of hip (TOH) is a self-limited condition that affects young and middle aged women or men. The clinical manifestation is characterized by sudden or gradual onset of pain that is exacerbated on weight-bearing and at night. The treatment of TOH is either conservative or surgical.
