Lateral femoral impaction fractures during an ACL tear extend posteriorly on the weight-bearing area of the tibiofemoral joint.

Purpose: Posterior elongation of the physiological terminal sulcus (TS) due to lateral femoral condyle impaction fracture (LFC-IF) after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear could potentially decrease the weight-bearing area of the tibiofemoral joint, decrease the tension on lateral meniscus and cause flattening of the LFC which would influence rotational knee motion and cause anisometry of the lateral and anterolateral stabilizers. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to assess if the LFC-IF elongates the physiological TS posteriorly.

Methods: One hundred patients magnetic resonance images (MRIs) (75 males, 25 females, mean age 32.

Anatomical theater or full digitization? Students' assessment and preferences in the field of anatomy teaching.

Background: For many years, teaching of anatomy has been based on traditional forms of teaching, but innovative solutions are currently being implemented on a large scale around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning have influenced the development of new technologies in teaching.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted among medical students who studied anatomy in the year preceding the analysis when the restrictions related to the pandemic had been lifted.

Study of social awareness regarding body donations for scientific and educational purposes.

Background: The basis of teaching anatomy is the understanding of the body's structures using human cadavers. Body donation should be a fully conscious and voluntary act. There is a growing demand for human cadavers in medical universities.

Periprosthetic fractures after shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to review available literature on periprosthetic shoulder fractures to evaluate epidemiology, risk factors and support clinical decision-making regarding diagnostics, preoperative planning, and treatment options.

Methods: Two authors cross-checked the PubMed and Web of Science medical databases. The inclusion criteria were as follows: original human studies published in English, with the timeframe not limited, and the following keywords were used: 'periprosthetic shoulder fracture,' 'total shoulder arthroplasty periprosthetic fractures,' 'total shoulder arthroplasty fracture,' and 'total shoulder replacement periprosthetic fracture.

Surgical Treatment of Pediatric Incidentally Found Brain Tumors: A Single-Center Experience.

There remains much debate about the correct management of incidentally found brain tumors in the pediatric population. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment of incidentally found pediatric brain tumors. A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients who underwent surgical resection of incidentally found brain tumors between January 2010 and April 2016 was performed.

The Use of Mixed Reality in Custom-Made Revision Hip Arthroplasty: A First Case Report.

The technology of 3D printing and visualization of anatomical structures is rapidly growing in various fields of medicine. A custom-made implant and mixed reality were used to perform complex revision hip arthroplasty in January 2019. The use of mixed reality allowed for a very good visualization of the structures and resulted in precise implant fixation.

3D Printing as a Significant Achievement for Application in Posttraumatic Surgeries - A Literature Review.

Background: 3D printing is increasingly used in many fields of medicine. The broadening of knowledge in this field and the cooperation of doctors and engineers increase the interest in this technology and results in attempts to implement it at every stage of the treatment.

Objective: The review aims to summarize the current literature on the use of 3D printing technology in the treatment of post-trauma patients.

Heterotopic Ossification: A Challenging Complication of Total Hip Arthroplasty: Risk Factors, Diagnosis, Prophylaxis, and Treatment.

Background: This review is intended to summarize the risk factors, classification, diagnosis, and treatment of heterotopic ossification (HO) of previously published studies.

Results: Heterotopic ossification is a common complication of total hip arthroplasty. Its prevalence is not the same in all of the patient groups.
