[Progress on study of factors influencing the prognosis and complications of surgery for discoid meniscus injury in children].

The discoid meniscus is a common congenital meniscal malformation that is prevalent mainly in Asians and often occurs in the lateral discoid meniscus. Patients with asymptomatic discoid meniscus are usually treated by conservative methods such as observation and injury avoidance, while patients with symptoms and tears need to be treated surgically. Arthroscopic saucerization combined with partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair is the most common surgical approach.

Analysis of the lncRNA-Associated Competing Endogenous RNA (ceRNA) Network for Tendinopathy.

Background: We aimed to construct the lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and distinguish feature lncRNAs associated with tendinopathy.

Methods: We downloaded the gene profile of GSE26051 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), including 23 normal samples and 23 diseased tendons. Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified, and functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed.

Can 3-Dimensional Printing for Calcaneal Fracture Surgery Decrease Operation Time and Improve Quality of Fracture Reduction?

We investigated whether 3-dimensional (3D) printed models can decrease operation time and improve the quality of reduction for calcaneal fractures. The study involved 48 patients with unilateral intra-articular calcaneal fractures, who were retrospectively case-matched according to Sander's classification, age, and sex. Group A (24 patients) was operated using 3D printed models as a preoperative and intraoperative tool, and group B (24 patients) was operated using standard techniques without 3D printed model.

Biomechanical analysis of two medial buttress plate fixation methods to treat Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures.

Background: Femoral neck fractures in young people are usually Pauwels Type III fractures. The common treatment method are multiple parallel cannulated screws or dynamic hip screw sliding compression fixation. Due to the huge shear stress, the rate of complications such as femoral head necrosis and nonunion is still high after treatment.

Femoral neck fracture combined with anterior dislocation of the femoral head: injury mechanism and proposed novel classification.

Background: Femoral neck fracture combined with anterior dislocation of the femoral head is very rare. To our knowledge, there is no classification system yet for this rare form of injury, and the injury mechanism of femoral neck fracture combined with obturator head dislocation has not been described in the literature. In this study, we systematically reviewed the literature and the cases treated in our hospital, and identified and classified all injury types according to the injury mechanism of femoral neck fracture combined with anterior dislocation of the femoral head.

Minimally invasive treatment of forearm double fracture in adult using Acumed forearm intramedullary nail: A case report.

Background: Currently, open reduction internal fixation is the conventional surgical method for treatment of double ulna and radius fracture. However, open reduction is associated with a high risk of complications. This case of forearm double fracture involved a patient treated using an Acumed intramedullary nail.

[Application of percutaneous pie-crusting deep medial collateral ligament release for posterior horn surgery of medial meniscus].

Objective: To explore clinical and radiographic effects of percutaneous pie-crusting deep medial collateral ligament release in patients with posterior horn tear of medial meniscus combined with tight medial compartment.

Methods: From January 2012 to December 2016, 35 patients with medial meniscus posterior horn injury were treated with percutaneous pie crusting deep medial collateral ligament release technique, including 21 males and 14 females, aged from 21 to 55 years old with an average of (39.1±6.

Ankle distraction arthroplasty for the treatment of severe ankle arthritis: Case report, technical note, and literature review.

Rationale: Widely applied in the treatment of severe ankle arthritis (AA), ankle distraction arthroplasty (ADA) can avoid not only the ankle range of motion loss but also ankle fusion. However, the clinical outcomes of ADA for severe AA are poorly understood. This study aims to present our clinical outcomes of severe AA treated by ADA.

Fractured coracoid process with acromioclavicular joint dislocation: A case report.

Rationale: Coracoid processes (CPs) fracture with acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation are extremely rare. This combined injury has brought many challenges to surgeons, and the mechanism underlying the injury is still not fully understood. There is no clear consensus on its treatment.

Comparison of suture-button and screw fixation in the treatment of ankle syndesmotic injuries: Cohort study protocol.

Background: Syndesmotic injuries account for a significant number of ankle injuries. There is no consensus regarding the recommended method of treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate: METHODS:: This study was performed and reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology checklist.

[Arthroscopic pullout suture repair of posterior root tear of the medial meniscus via the double tibial tunnels].

Objective: To evaluate the surgical technique and clinical effect of arthroscopic pullout suture repair of posterior root tear of the medial meniscus via the double tibial tunnels.

Methods: From May 2014 to May 2017, 22 patients with posterior root tear of medial meniscus were treated by pullout suture repair via the double tibial tunnels, including 8 males and 14 females, aged 34 to 53 years old, with a mean of averaged(45.7±4.

Avulsion of the femoral attachment of the medial collateral ligament in the setting of knee multiligament injury: A case report.

Rationale: Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury is a common sports injury. The damage mainly occurs in ligament fibers, but MCL avulsion fracture is extremely rare and only a few reports have been published.

Patient Concerns: Herein, we present a healthy 21-year-old man with an avulsion fracture of the MCL of the right knee sustained during snowboarding.

Upregulation of long noncoding TNFSF10 contributes to osteoarthritis progression through the miR-376-3p/FGFR1 axis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease with high morbidity, but there is still no definitive treatment for it. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to play key roles in OA progression. This work was done to investigate the roles and action mechanism of lncRNA TNFSF10 in OA.

Upper pole sleeve fracture of the patella secondary to patellar dislocation: A case report.

Rationale: Upper pole sleeve fractures of the patella are rare in adolescents; however, they are serious injuries that require early diagnosis and treatment.

Patient Concerns: We present a rare case of a 15-year-old girl who suffered a sleeve fracture at the superior pole of the right patella. The patient had a history of dislocation of the patella 2 weeks ago.

Modified Broström Procedure for Chronic Ankle Instability With Generalized Joint Hypermobility.

Background: Chronic ankle instability with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) is considered a contraindication for the modified Broström procedure. The most widely accepted definition of GJH is a Beighton score of ≥4 on a 9-point scale. However, it is not clear whether this criterion can be applied to determine the GJH that would lead to a poor outcome after a modified Broström procedure.
