The posterolateral tibial plateau is crucial for maintaining knee stability during flexion, and fractures in this area often involve ligament and meniscus injuries, necessitating effective management. However, treating posterolateral tibial plateau fractures (PLF) poses significant challenges due to the complex anatomy. Therefore, this review aims to explore contemporary concepts of PLF, from identification to fixation, and proposes a comprehensive treatment strategy.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an alternative treatment for patients with pure severe aortic regurgitation (PSAR) who are contraindicated for surgery or have a high surgical risk. However, the therapeutic efficacy and safety of TAVR in low Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score risk patients remain to be clarified. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of TAVR treatment in different STS-risk patients and to compare the adverse events between the groups.

The objective of this study was to measure how much of the superolateral femoral neck should be removed to reduce the incidence of wedge effect. Simulating surgery: Computed Tomography images of 131 intertrochanteric fracture patients were included, three-dimensionally reconstructed, virtually reduced and implanted with Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation blade-Ⅱ(PFNA-Ⅱ) nail. The antero-posterior length and media-lateral width of the intersection between superolateral femoral neck and PFNA-Ⅱ nail were measured.

Liver disease is a major health concern globally, with high morbidity and mor-tality rates. Precise diagnosis and assessment are vital for guiding treatment approaches, predicting outcomes, and improving patient prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that has been widely used for detecting liver disease.

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to identify the potential risk factors for postoperative delirium in geriatric patients with hip fracture.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception until December 31st, 2021. A combined searching strategy of subject words and free words was adopted.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of oral versus intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in elderly patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric fractures.
  • It included 105 patients divided into three groups: those receiving oral TXA, those receiving intravenous TXA, and a control group with no TXA.
  • Results showed that both TXA treatment groups had significantly lower blood transfusion rates and total blood loss compared to the control group, with no notable differences between the oral and intravenous groups.

Objective: To evaluate the association between the fetal fraction of cell-free DNA at the second trimester and subsequent spontaneous preterm birth.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data were collected from women with singleton pregnancies who underwent noninvasive prenatal testing at 14 to 25 weeks of gestation. The eligible patients were classified into three groups according to pregnancy outcome: birth at ≥37 weeks of gestation (term group), delivery at <34 weeks of gestation (early spontaneous preterm), and delivery at 34 to 36  weeks of gestation (late spontaneous preterm).

Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using sequencing of fetal cell-free DNA from maternal plasma has enabled accurate prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidy and become increasingly accepted in clinical practice. We investigated whether NIPT using semiconductor sequencing platform (SSP) could reliably detect subchromosomal deletions/duplications in women carrying high-risk fetuses. We first showed that increasing concentration of abnormal DNA and sequencing depth improved detection.

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effects of surgical hepatic resection (HR) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma of 3-5 cm in diameter.

Methods: The databases PubMed, CBMdisc, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were searched for controlled clinical trials on evaluating the efficacy between RFA and HR in treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma of 3-5 cm in diameter published from January 1990 to February 2014. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and assessed the methodological quality of the studies included.
