Globally, surgical exposure for the trainee has become challenging due to changes in shift patterns, increasing medicolegal issues and the recognition of burnout. Simulation models are a crucial adjunct for the development of arthroscopic skills and open procedures. Advanced anatomically precise 3D-printed wrist models are used in our workshops.

Methods: Dynamic CT scans of 19 participants with no history of wrist pathology and 19 patients with scapholunate instability without degenerative changes were selected. Motion sequence studied was wrist extension to flexion.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing these tears involves patient history, clinical exams, and advanced imaging techniques like MRI to evaluate tear size and related issues.
- Treatment options range from non-surgical methods like physiotherapy and injections to surgical interventions, depending on the tear severity and patient activity level, with specific techniques tailored to the case.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to create a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect and classify fractures, focusing on specific characteristics like greater tuberosity displacement and neck-shaft angle, using plain X-rays.
- - The CNN was trained with over 1,700 X-rays from Australia and validated with data from the Netherlands, comparing results with CT scans evaluated by experts.
- - The CNN demonstrated a high detection accuracy of 94% for fractures, but less effectiveness in identifying specific fracture characteristics, particularly showing lower performance for greater tuberosity displacement and neck-shaft angles.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the need for ICU care in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), particularly focusing on how pre- and peri-transplant characteristics influence this requirement.
- - Out of 109 patients, 14% required ICU admission mainly due to hypotension, and 45% experienced peri-transplant infections, with some caused by multi-drug resistant organisms.
- - It was found that delayed platelet engraftment and the presence of peri-transplant infections may significantly increase the likelihood of needing ICU care.
