Background: Accurate localisation of symptomatic osteoarthritic (OA) lesions in the midfoot, hindfoot and ankle remains challenging due to their complex anatomy. Conventional radiographs have limitations in complex areas or overlapping structures. SPECT/CT has shown promising results in detecting symptomatic OA lesions, yet its superiority over MRI, the current standard for soft tissue pathology, remains uncertain.

Methods: Adult patients with an LC injury, without any cognitive disorders or limited mobility and who could communicate in Dutch were asked to participate. Pain in terms of NRS (numeric rating scale, range 0-10), opioid use and mobility were recorded at eight time points: at hospital admission, and three days, one week, six weeks, three months, six months, one year and two years after the injury.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the connection between pelvic symmetry, measured using the cross-measurement technique, and patient-reported outcomes regarding functional status and quality of life for individuals with unstable pelvic ring injuries.
- Conducted on 130 patients, the research involved collecting data on pelvic symmetry and having patients complete various PROMs upon admission and a year after their injuries, to assess their recovery and quality of life.
- Ultimately, the findings indicated no significant correlation between the pelvic symmetry scores and the reported functional outcomes or quality of life measures, suggesting that pelvic symmetry may not reliably predict recovery in these patients.
Purpose: Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prosthesis alignment. However, literature on its use during revision TKA (rTKA) is scarce. Moreover, the effect of CAS during rTKA on rotational alignment of the prosthesis has not been described yet.

Method: A prospective cohort study was conducted of consecutive patients with maxillofacial trauma who had been admitted to the emergency department of four hospitals in the Netherlands. This study compared five haemorrhagic symptoms (peri-orbital haematoma, raccoon eyes, epistaxis, subconjunctival ecchymosis, and intra-oral haematoma) between patients not-using (NUA) and using (UA) of antithrombotics, and whether these maxillofacial haemorrhagic symptoms served as predictors for maxillofacial fractures.
