Long-term surgical outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in patients with Hoffa-like tibial plateau fractures: a clinical study and analysis.

Purpose: The Hoffa-like tibial plateau fracture is a rare intra-articular fracture and few studies have investigated its curative effect after treatment. We aimed to focus on patients with Hoffa-like tibial plateau fractures based on a large sample population and to evaluate their long-term surgical outcomes treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).

Method: Between August 2017 and September 2020, a period in which 3256 tibial plateau fractures were treated in five trauma centres.

General Design of Aligned-Channel Porous Carbon Electrodes for Efficient High-Current-Density Gas-Evolving Electrocatalysis.

Gas-evolving reactions (GERs) are important in many electrochemical energy conversion technologies and chemical industries. The operation of GERs at high current densities is critical for their industrial implementation but remains challenging as it poses stringent requirements on the electrodes in terms of reaction kinetics, mass transfer, and electron transport. Here the general and rational design of self-standing carbon electrodes with vertically aligned porous channels, appropriate pore size distribution, and high surface area as supports for loading a variety of catalytic species by facile electrodeposition are reported.

Clinical outcome after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy: comparison of double-triangle locking compression plate (DT-LCP) and T-shaped locking compression plate (T-LCP).

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of two internal fixation methods for high tibial osteotomy (HTO): double-triangle locking compression plate (DT-LCP) and T-shaped locking compression plate (T-LCP).

Methods: 202 adult patients in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2021 were included and followed up for at least one year: group 1(DT-LCP, 98 patients) and group 2 (T-LCP, 104 patients). Detailed information on demographics, preoperative and postoperative follow-up, surgical procedures, and complications were collected.

Is single-stage bilateral medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy advisable?

Purpose: To validate the safety and clinical results of single-stage bilateral versus unilateral medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO).

Methods: A propensity-matched cohort study was performed from March 2020 to March 2021 in our medical center. Data were prospectively collected.

Risk Factors and Dynamic Nomogram Development for Surgical Site Infection Following Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy for Varus Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: As the worldwide population ages, the population receiving open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is growing, and surgical site infection (SSI) is a rare but fatal surgical complication. This study aimed to identify risk factors independently associated with SSI following OWHTO and develop a predictive nomogram.

Methods: Clinical data of patients who received OWHTO and followed up for more than 12 months in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed.

Molecular Identification and Pathogenicity of and (Diaporthales, Ascomycota) Associated with Cherry Trunk Diseases in China.

This study aimed to identify fungal species associated with trunk diseases of sweet cherries () in several commercial cherry orchards in Beijing, Guizhou and Shandong provinces, China. In total, eighteen fungal strains that fitted well into the species concept of were isolated. Based on both morphological and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), beta-tubulin (), calmodulin () and translation elongation factor 1-α () sequencing data, fourteen isolates were identified as , while four isolates were classified as .

Proximal tibial osteotomy with absorbable spacer combined with fibular osteotomy has similar clinical outcomes to high tibial osteotomy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Purpose: Proximal tibia osteotomy with absorbable spacer combined with fibular osteotomy (TPOASI) is an emerging surgical technique for treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA); however, the efficacy of this procedure remains unknown. We hypothesize that TPOASI can achieve similar clinical outcomes to opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO). The objective of this study is to compare the clinical results between these two procedures.
