Article Synopsis
- This study investigated gene expression related to stone formation in patients with recurrent calcium oxalate stones compared to individuals without a history of renal stones.
- Nineteen patients with recurrent stones and 21 control patients were analyzed, with normal biochemical parameters and no significant urinary abnormalities noted.
- Results showed that the gene expression related to stone formation was significantly higher in the stone-forming group, suggesting that this overexpression may contribute to the development of recurrent calcium oxalate stones.
Background: Current treatment options for patellofemoral (PF) instability have required functional scoring systems. The Banff Patellar Instability Instrument (BPII) 2.0 and Norwich Patellar Instability (NPI) scores were explicitly created to meet the need to evaluate PF instability.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 95 hips with developmental dysplasia of the hip who were treated with Dega pelvic osteotomy. Hips were divided into 2 groups according to medial wall disruption: group A included the hips with medial wall disruption, while group B included the hips without disruption.
Purpose: Complex rigid foot deformities include three-plane deformities and usually presents with poor soft tissue coverage. In the last decades, gradual correction with computer-assisted fixator became an appropriate option for the treatment rigid foot deformities. This study aims to report our experience about treatment of complex foot deformities using Smart Correction fixator system®.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of a hexapod frame (smart correction frame) in different types of tibial deformities requiring correction with or without lengthening.
Methods: A total of 54 tibial angular deformities and limb length discrepancies operated with a hexapod frame between January 2015 and January 2021 were classified into four groups: "Group A ( n = 13): only lengthening," "Group B ( n = 14): lengthening and uniplanar correction," "Group C ( n = 16): only uniplanar correction," and "Group D ( n = 11): biplanar correction.
