Background: No comprehensive study has been conducted on the effects of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on the coronal, sagittal, and axial alignments of the ankle joint. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the multiplane changes in the ankle joint following HTO using the EOS biplanar X-ray imaging system.
Methods: The medical records of 43 patients who underwent HTO for the treatment of medial knee osteoarthritis were retrospectively reviewed.
Intracapsular Chondroma Occurring in Metacarpophalangeal Joint of the Hand: A Rare Presentation.

Article Synopsis
- Extraskeletal chondroma includes types like synovial chondromatosis and soft tissue chondroma, but cases in the hand are quite uncommon.
- A 42-year-old woman presented with a painless mass near her right fourth MCP joint, which showed soft tissue swelling on X-rays and a lobulated mass on MRI, leading doctors to initially rule out cartilage-forming tumors.
- The mass was successfully removed without complications, and histological analysis confirmed it as an intracapsular chondroma, highlighting the importance of considering this rare diagnosis in hand tumors.
Study Design: This study adopted a prospective study design to evaluate the sagittal parameters of the spine and pelvis in young adults using the EOS imaging system.
Purpose: This study was designed to analyze spinopelvic sagittal alignment measurement values obtained using the EOS imaging system in asymptomatic young adults.
Overview Of Literature: Sagittal alignment of the spine and pelvis is important in diagnosing and treating spinal diseases.
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (VP) and kyphoplasty (KP) are well-established minimally invasive surgical procedures for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). However, some drawbacks have been reported regarding these procedures, including height loss, cement leakage, and loss of the restored height after balloon deflation. We performed a novel VP technique to minimize these limitations of conventional procedures.

The aim of this study was to assess the changes of DRUJ using axial images of computed tomography (CT) in patients with DRUJ osteoarthritis and associated ETRs and to evaluate the relationship between the changes of DRUJ and ETRs.
Methods: Twelve patients with ETRs due to osteoarthritis of the DRUJ were enrolled.
Background: Most clinicians use the Beighton score to assess generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) when deciding on the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). The purpose of the study was to evaluate anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) status by ultrasound and correlate these values with Beighton scores and the manual anterior drawer test (ADT).
Methods: The participants were divided into two groups, those without GJH (24 ankles) and with GJH (20 ankles).
