Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the importance of the lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis who have undergone around-knee osteotomy (AKO) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- Through a retrospective analysis of 59 patients using X-rays and CT scans, significant correlations were found between LDFA and factors like age, femoral tibial angle, hip knee ankle angle, and femoral condyle heights.
- The research concludes that LDFA is influenced by the heights of the femoral condyles and increases with age, highlighting its role as a critical preoperative indicator for surgical procedures like AKO and TKA.
Article Synopsis
- An ectopic kidney is a rare condition where the kidney doesn't move to its usual position in the body.
- A case study involved a 72-year-old man diagnosed with a bladder tumor and an ectopic left kidney, leading to a series of surgical procedures including a robot-assisted radical cystectomy.
- The study concludes that the robot-assisted surgical method is a viable treatment option for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who also have an ectopic kidney.
Changes in patellar baja progress until 3 months after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate sequential patellar height changes as well as the factors leading to these changes after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO).
Methods: The study cohort constituted 37 knees from 36 patients who underwent MOWHTO for varus knee. The Caton-Deschamps index (CDI) for patellar height was measured preoperatively and at 2 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
Dislocation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare complication, and few cases of anterior dislocation have been reported. Furthermore, there are no reports of early postoperative dislocation. A 72-year-old woman who had previously undergone resection of the posterior thigh muscle group for liposarcoma of the thigh underwent TKA for knee osteoarthritis.
