Clinical efficacy of arthroscopy combined with irrigation and drainage in the treatment of brucellosis of the hip.

Purpose: To evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy of hip arthroscopy combined with catheter irrigation and drainage in the treatment of brucellosis of the hip.

Methods: From 2015 to 2020, 11 patients with a diagnosis of brucellosis-induced unilateral hip joint arthritis were treated with arthroscopic debridement and lesion synovectomy. Catheterization was performed during the operation, and normal saline lavage was continued after the operation.

Suspension fixation of iliac bone grafts under arthroscopy is an effective method for the treatment of unstable bony Bankart disease of the shoulder joint in patients with joint relaxation.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of arthroscopic autologous iliac bone graft suspension fixation combined with the Remplissage procedure in the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation with bony Bankart lesions and joint hyperlaxity.

Methods: From 2018 to 2020, 22 patients with joint laxity underwent arthroscopic autologous iliac bone graft suspension fixation and Bankart repair combined with the Remplissage procedure due to recurrent shoulder dislocation. Clinical assessment included range of motion (forward flexion, abduction, 90° external rotation, conventional external rotation, adduction, and internal rotation), visual analog scale (VAS) score, Rowe score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score, and Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score.

Identification of an Iron Metabolism-Related lncRNA Signature for Predicting Osteosarcoma Survival and Immune Landscape.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as epigenetic regulators in the process of ferroptosis and iron metabolism. This study aimed to identify an iron metabolism-related lncRNA signature to predict osteosarcoma (OS) survival and the immune landscape. RNA-sequencing data and clinical information were obtained from the TARGET dataset.

[Posterior capsule releasing in total knee arthroplasty for patients with rheumatoid arthritis with stiff knees in flexion].

Objective: To investigate the correct method of bone resection and posterior capsular soft tissue releasing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the patients with rheumatoid arthritis with stiff knee in flexion.

Methods: From November 2009 to January 2012,15 patients with rheumatoid arthritis with stiff knee in flexion underwent primary TKA and releasing of the posterior soft tissues. There were 7 males and 8 females,aged 22 to 75 years old (58.
