Article Synopsis
- - A 4-year-old boy experienced malunion after surgery for a rare elbow fracture, leading to limited elbow flexion of 50°.
- - An MRI revealed a step-off in the cartilage as the cause of his flexion limitation.
- - After 5 years of conservative treatment, the boy's elbow flexion improved to 135°, and the cartilage step-off resolved, demonstrating potential for recovery in pediatric elbow fractures.
Article Synopsis
- Distal femoral varus osteotomy (DFVO) is a surgical procedure used to correct knee valgus malalignment, but its impact on stress distribution in the knee joint hasn't been thoroughly studied in real-life scenarios.
- This study aimed to analyze subchondral bone density in non-arthritic knees versus those with valgus malalignment, evaluate changes in bone density after DFVO, and link leg alignment to these changes.
- Researchers examined data from 14 patients who underwent DFVO for osteoarthritis due to valgus malalignment and compared it with a control group, finding significant differences in bone density distribution before and after the surgery.
Background: The Sauvé-Kapandji (S-K) method is a surgical procedure performed for chronic deformities of the distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ). Changes to the joint contact surface from pre- to postoperatively under physiological in vivo conditions have not yet been determined for this useful treatment. The aim of the present study was therefore to compare the articular contact area of the wrist joint between before and after the S-K method for DRUJ disorders.

However, it still remains unclear whether anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can be performed in a single procedure along with DFVO. Herein, we present a 73-year-old female patient who developed lateral osteoarthritis of the knee with valgus alignment due to chronic ACL deficiency following a twisting injury during skiing.

An OA model was established in rabbits using mannosidase injection, which reduced high-mannose type N-glycans and led to cartilage degeneration. Further analysis of glycome in human OA cartilage identified specific corefucosylated N-glycan expression patterns.
