The sub pronator approach to the coronoid process.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to describe a new anteromedial approach that allows exposure of the anteromedial facet of the coronoid process and to characterize the position of the median nerve's motor branches relative to this approach in relation to elbow positioning.

Material And Methods: We performed 16 anteromedial approaches on fresh anatomical specimens. The minimum distance between the medial edge of the trochlea and the second branch of the median nerve was measured in three elbow positions: forearm in supination with the elbow extended, forearm in pronation with the elbow extended, and forearm in supination with the elbow flexed at 90 °.

Synergizing bioprinting and 3D cell culture to enhance tissue formation in printed synthetic constructs.

Bioprinting is currently the most promising method to biofabricate complex tissues in vitro with the potential to transform the future of organ transplantation and drug discovery. Efforts to create such tissues are, however, almost exclusively based on animal-derived materials, like gelatin methacryloyl, which have demonstrated efficacy in bioprinting of complex tissues. While these materials are already used in clinical applications, uncertainty about their safety still remains due to their animal origin.

Revisiting two thousand hinge fractures in open wedge high tibial osteotomy with a fifty years review: the oscillating saw cannot replace the traditional "ear-hand" dialogue between osteotome and hammer to estimate the elastic modulus of bone.

Background: Hinge fracture on the lateral part of the tibia (LHF) is a common complication of medial Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy (OWHTO). Many factors have been described as risks for these fractures, but no study has compared an osteotome or an oscillating saw to prevent LHF following OWHTO.

Methods: This "propensity-score-matched" (PSM) study was conducted from data obtained in the literature from 1974 to November 2024.

Guided-VCTE: An Enhanced FibroScan Examination With Improved Guidance and Applicability.

Objective: Although FibroScan (FS), based on Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE), is a widely used non-invasive device for assessing liver fibrosis and steatosis, its current standard-VCTE examination remains timely and difficult on patients with obesity. The Guided-VCTE examination uses continuous shear waves to locate the liver by providing a real-time predictive indicator for shear wave propagation and uses shear wave maps averaging to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in difficult to assess patients. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the new indicator, as well as compare examination times and success rates with both standard-VCTE and Guided-VCTE examinations.
