Diagnosing osteomyelitis in diabetic foot by diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE), for diagnosing osteomyelitis in the diabetic foot.

Materials And Methods: A thorough search was carried out to identify suitable studies published up to September 2023. The quality of the studies involved was evaluated using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2).

Assessing the gender gap in musculoskeletal radiology authorship across three continents: are really the "ladies first"?

Aim: To assess gender-specific authorship trends in musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology in three major radiology journals, Skeletal Radiology (SR), Clinical Radiology (CR) and Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging (IJRI).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of articles pertaining to MSK radiology was done for the years 2000, 2010, and 2020 for SR and CR and for the years 2010 and 2020 for IJRI. The number and positions of female authors was noted.

Effect of Osteochondroplasty on Time to Reoperation After Arthroscopic Management of Femoroacetabular Impingement: Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: A subset of patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) fail arthroscopic management. It is not clear which patients will fail surgical management; however, several surgical and patient factors, such as type of procedure and age, are thought to be important predictors.

Purpose: This time-to-event analysis with a 27-month follow-up analysis compared the effect of (1) arthroscopic osteochondroplasty with or without labral repair versus (2) arthroscopic lavage with or without labral repair on the time to reoperation in adults aged 18 to 50 years with FAI.

Update on sports imaging.

Sports Imaging has dramatically increased in the past decade with increasing number of adolescents, young and middle-aged adults participating in non-competitive/hobby sports. Therefore, sports injuries are no longer confined to elite athletes. Furthermore, newer forms of sports such as mountain climbing, pickle ball and curling etc.

Ultrasound-guided release of post-arthroscopy extra-articular hip adhesions in femoroacetabular impingement: a novel technique.

Objective: To explore a novel ultrasound-guided injection technique of releasing extra-articular anterior hip adhesions in arthroscopically treated femoroacetabular impingement patients.

Materials And Methods: IRB-approved pilot study included 24 consecutive patients referred for ultrasound-guided injection (Jan 1, 2017-Mar 31, 2018) with anterior hip pain and/or limited hip flexion following arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement. They underwent ultrasound-guided pressure injection, releasing post-operative extra-articular adhesions between the joint capsule and flexor tendons along the arthroscopic portal followed by steroid instillation.
