Quantifying Muscle Volume Deficits Among 38 Lower Extremity Muscles in Collegiate Football Athletes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: Quadriceps dysfunction is ubiquitous after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). Addressing quadriceps dysfunction is crucial to improve function, reduce the reinjury risk, and maintain long-term knee health. While deficits specific to the quadriceps are well documented, less is known about the effect of an ACL injury on other lower extremity muscle groups.

The association between Guardian Cap use during practices and sport-related concussion risk in high school American football players.

Objective: Guardian Caps (GCs) have been widely implemented at all levels of American football participation based on laboratory evidence that they may reduce head impact forces. The purpose of this study was to determine if GC use during practice was associated with a lower risk of sport-related concussion (SRC) during practices and games among high school football players.

Methods: Data were collected on 2610 athletes from 41 Wisconsin schools that self-selected into GC or Non-GC cohorts.

Transoral approach for hilo-parenchymal submandibular stones: outcomes and predictors of success.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transoral surgical management for complex submandibular gland (SMG) stones.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of 240 patients treated for sialolithiasis between 2015 and 2018, focusing on 57 cases of SMG stones that underwent stone removal procedures. Treatment methods, success rates, and complications were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox proportional hazards regression, and multiple logistic regression.

How clinical exposure improves dental students' understanding of oral and maxillofacial surgery: A cross-sectional study.

Purpose: To assess dental students' understanding of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) practice areas and examine changes in referral preferences across their educational progression in Israel.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 349 dental students from two Israeli universities (46.5% response rate).

The Evolution of Virtual Surgical Planning in Craniomaxillofacial Surgery: A Comprehensive Review.

Purpose: Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has significantly transformed craniomaxillofacial surgery over the past 2 decades, leading to diverse applications and improved surgical outcomes. However, variations in technological approaches, clinical outcomes, and economic implications persist. This review aims to comprehensively examine the evolution of VSP in craniomaxillofacial surgery, assess its impact on surgical precision and patient outcomes, and identify current trends and future directions.
