Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common adolescent hip disorder that can lead to complex proximal femur deformities and devastating consequences such as avascular necrosis, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and early-onset osteoarthritis. Existing surgical techniques are often insufficient to fully address the constellation of multiplanar deformities in patients with severe SCFE. Therefore, the McMaster Osteotomy, a novel intertrochanteric proximal femur osteotomy, was developed to improve anatomic correction and hip mechanics in patients with chronic SCFE.

- - This study explored how the modified frailty index (mFI) could predict outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for adhesive small bowel obstruction after non-surgical treatment failed.
- - It included a retrospective analysis of 133 patients, highlighting that frail individuals experienced higher 30-day complications and greater care needs post-surgery compared to robust patients.
- - Results indicated that while frailty status showed some differences in outcomes, factors like functional dependence and surgical delays were more strongly linked to worse postoperative results.
Immersive virtual reality (iVR) facilitates surgical decision-making by enabling surgeons to interact with complex anatomic structures in realistic 3-dimensional environments. With emerging interest in its applications, its effects on patients and providers should be clarified. This systematic review examines the current literature on iVR for patient-specific preoperative planning.

Purpose: To assess the imaging modalities used for diagnosis, as well as the management decisions of patients with osteochondral fractures (OCF) and loose bodies following traumatic patellar dislocation.
Methods: According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA), MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and PubMed were searched for results from January 1, 2000, to May 18, 2021, in two subsequent searches for English language studies that presented data on traumatic patellar dislocation. Quality of selected papers was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomised Studies (MINORS) and the Risk of Bias (RoB) 2.
