Relationship between the perioperative prognostic nutritional index and postoperative gait function in elderly hip fractures.

Objectives: We investigated the relationship between the perioperative nutritional status and postoperative walking ability in patients with hip fractures.

Methods: We included 246 surgically treated elderly patients with hip fractures who were ambulatory before the injury. Patients were divided into two groups: group A, who were able to walk at discharge, and group B, who were unable to walk at discharge.

Background factors for intra-operative hypotension during hip fracture repair surgery in the elderly under spinal anesthesia managed by orthopedic surgeons: A retrospective case-control study.

Background: Spinal anesthesia is used for femoral trochanteric fracture surgery, but frequently induces hypotension and the causative factors remain unclear. We examined background factors for the use of an intraoperative vasopressor in elderly patients receiving spinal anesthesia for femoral trochanteric fracture surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 203 patients >75 years (mean age, 87.

Invasion Patterns and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Diffuse Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor of the Ankle Joint.

Background: The invasion patterns and long-term outcomes of diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TSGCT) of the ankle joint remain unclear.

Methods: Seven patients who visited our department between 2011 and 2023 and were diagnosed with D-TSGCT of the ankle joint by contrast-enhanced MRI and a pathological diagnosis were included. The invasion patterns of ankle D-TSGCT on MRI were investigated.

Osteogenesis imperfecta with repeated simultaneous bilateral proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries caused by minor trauma: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries are rare, accounting for 0.5-3 % of all epiphyseal injuries, of which bilateral cases are extremely rare. Only five cases of bilateral proximal tibial epiphyseal injuries have so far been reported in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta.

Risk Factors for Cervical Deformity After Posterior Cervical Decompression Surgery: A Multicenter Study.

Study Design: Retrospective multicenter study.

Objective: Posterior decompression surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a common surgery; however, it can cause postoperative cervical deformity (CD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for CD.

Epidural Hemangioma: A Clinical Series of Five Patients and Review of Literature for the Decade.

Background: Since 1929, only 171 epidural hemangioma cases have been reported. We report five epidural hemangiomas and review cases reported over the past decade in terms of radiological features and clinical findings.

Methods: Among patients operated on for spinal tumors at our hospital between 2009 and 2020, five had epidural hemangiomas.
