Article Synopsis
- Anterior knee pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often arises from improper patellar tracking, which can affect patient satisfaction; this study examines patellofemoral pressure (PFP) differences between patients with favorable versus impaired tracking.
- A total of 44 patients with varus knee osteoarthritis were studied; those with impaired tracking showed higher lateral PFP compared to those with favorable tracking, particularly at certain degrees of knee flexion, and lateral retinacular release (LRR) helped reduce high lateral PFP in these patients.
- It was found that specific radiographic parameters like patellar resection angle and Insall-Salvati ratio correlate with PFP values, suggesting these factors play a role
Introduction: Bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder is a very rare injury that is commonly missed. Almost 70% of bilateral posterior dislocations are due to convulsive seizures, with electric shocks accounting for < 5% of bilateral posterior shoulder dislocations.
Case Report: The case of a walk-in patient, a 52-year-old man, with bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulder caused by an electric shock is reported.
Gliostatin/thymidine phosphorylase (GLS/TP) is known to have angiogenic and arthritogenic activities in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The novel oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor baricitinib has demonstrated high efficacy in RA. However, the effect of baricitinib on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), a key component of invasive synovitis, has not been still elucidated.
