Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates whether allografts or autografts are more effective in preventing the need for revisional ACL reconstruction, analyzing data from over 146,000 patients who underwent surgery between 2002 and 2021.
- - Among the patients, 121,148 received allografts and 24,974 received autografts, with revision rates of 9.2% for allografts and 8.7% for autografts.
- - The results suggest that choosing autografts for primary ACL reconstruction can significantly reduce the likelihood of needing revision surgery, particularly within the first year after the procedure.
In mechanically aligned (MA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the grand piano sign helps surgeons to further ensure the proper external rotation of the femoral component. The goal of this study was to determine the sex-related differences in the shape of the anterior resection surface using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) models. MRI scans were performed on 267 consecutive patients (202 women and 65 men) with osteoarthritis who underwent TKA in order to reconstruct a 3D model.

Thirty-six transient surgically treated L4 fixation patients were retrospectively evaluated. The first surgery involved mechanical correction of scoliosis; the lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) was L4.

Methods: C57BL/6 mice were housed in a controlled-environment chamber for DE induction. During DE induction, the expression level of Dll4/Notch signaling and lymphangiogenesis in LGs was measured by quantitative RT-PCR, immunoblot, and immunofluorescence staining.
