Accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in assessing knee cartilage changes over time in patients with osteoarthritis: A systematic review.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique useful for the diagnosis of cartilage damage due to high sensitivity to identify subchondral bone abnormalities and full-thickness cartilage lesions. The lack of a study on knee cartilage changes over time in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) by MRI technique led us to investigate the accuracy of MRI in identifying knee cartilage changes over time in patients with OA in a systematic review. In the present systematic review, started from the beginning of 2020 in one of the University Hospitals in Iran, the databases of CINAHL, Ovid, Elsevier, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science were searched using the keywords MRI, OA, Cartilage Lesion, Imaging Techniques.

Tibial plateau fracture: does fracture classification influence the choice of surgical approach? A retrospective multicenter analysis.

Purpose: The role of classification systems for the choice of surgical approach and the management of tibial plateau fractures remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of classification systems to choose the appropriate operative approach. Current surgical management strategies were investigated in a large multicenter assessment.

[Arch-shaped approach : New modified medial approach for the treatment of talus fractures].

Objective: Anatomical reduction and fixation of complex talar fractures (Hawkins type III and IV, Marti type III and IV) using a medial approach.

Indications: Displaced talar fractures (Hawkins type III and IV, Marti type III and IV) with the need for a medial malleolar osteotomy or the simultaneous treatment of a medial malleolus fracture.

Contraindications: High perioperative risk, severe soft tissue injuries in the medial approach area, infected soft tissues.

The intra- and interobserver reliability of the Tile AO, the Young and Burgess, and FFP classifications in pelvic trauma.

Introduction: Several different systems of classification have been developed to understand the complexity of pelvic ring fractures, to facilitate communication between physicians and to support the selection of appropriate therapeutic measures. The purpose of this study was to measure the inter- and intraobserver reliability of Tile AO, Young and Burgess, and FFP classification in pelvic ring fractures. The Rommens classification system (FFP) is analyzed for the first time.
