Visualization of Trochlear Dysplasia Using 3-Dimensional Curvature Analysis in Patients With Patellar Instability Facilitates Understanding and Improves the Reliability of the Entry Point to Trochlea Groove Angle.

Purpose: To examine a method to visualize a 3-dimensional (3D) rendered distal femur using 3D curvature analysis and to compare models of patellofemoral instability (PFI) with controls to study the reliability of the entry point to trochlear groove angle (EPTG) metric.

Methods: The 3D models of patients with recurrent patellar instability, defined by at least 2 reported patellar dislocation events, and age- and sex-matched controls were created from computed tomography scans. Curvature was calculated to highlight the proximal trochlear ridges and the trochlear groove by overlaying them on the 3D models.

Valuing Citizen Access to Digital Health Services: Applied Value-Based Outcomes in the Canadian Context and Tools for Modernizing Health Systems.

Background: In publicly funded health systems, digital health technologies are strategies that aim to improve the quality and safety of health care service delivery and enhance patient experiences and outcomes. In Canada, governments and health organizations have invested in digital health technologies such as personal health records (PHRs) and other electronic service functionalities and innovation across provincial and territorial health systems.

Objective: Patients' access to their own information via secure, Web-based PHRs and integrated virtual care services are promising mechanisms for supporting patient engagement in health care.

STARS experiential group intervention: a complex trauma treatment approach for survivors of human trafficking.

This is the abstract that was submitted online with the paper: Despite the fact that many survivors of human trafficking have experienced complex trauma, there are no established interventions designed to specifically address these impacts. Leaders in the field of complex trauma have advocated for the need for somatic approaches to intervention. This paper presents STARS Experiential Group treatment, the first structured bodybased group intervention that has been designed to address complex trauma in survivors of human trafficking.
