Subtalar Arthroereisis for Symptomatic Flexible Flatfoot in Adolescents: A Prospective Study of 26 Feet.

Background: Flexible flatfoot is a normal finding in infants and the arch is shaped spontaneously in most children before the age of 10 years. Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity in both adolescent and adult populations.

Objective: This prospective study aims to assess the functional and radiological outcomes of subtalar arthroereisis in adolescent patients with symptomatic flexible flatfoot.

Clinical Outcome of Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Versus Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Multilevel Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty for Multiple Myeloma.

Background: Vertebral augmentation including vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty may restore function without interfering with the therapeutic regimen of patients with multiple myeloma. We sought to evaluate the effects of adding multilevel vertebral augmentation to conventional therapy protocols for patients with multiple myeloma.

Materials And Methods: Forty-four patients recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma were randomly assigned to two groups.

Early career accuracy of shoulder ultrasound in evaluating rotator cuff tendon tears.

Aim To compare the accuracy of shoulder ultrasound (US) in diagnosing rotator cuff tendon tears between junior and experienced musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologists. Also, to compare the overall ultrasound accuracy referenced to MRI. Methods A retrospective data collection for patients with clinically suspected rotator cuff tears who underwent ultrasound from June 2021 - June 2023 was conducted.

Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture: a case report and literature review.

Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare condition characterized by the simultaneous tear of the fibrous tissue connecting the quadriceps muscle to the patella bone. Prompt diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment and optimal outcomes. We present a case of a 70-year-old male with bilateral knee pain and an inability to walk, resulting from a trivial fall.

Is There a Role for Ordering a DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) Scan for Patients with Symptomatic Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis?

Background: Osteoarthritis of the knee (OA) and osteoporosis are two conditions that have a significant impact on society, have a great impact on quality of life, and can lead to functional impairment. However, the relationship between knee OA and osteoporosis is unclear.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine if there is a link between symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis and low bone mineral density.

Does open reduction internal fixation using a volar locking plate and closed reduction percutaneous pinning using K wires provide similar functional and radiological outcomes for unstable distal radius fractures?

Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are a common orthopedic injury, with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP) being the two most frequently used methods for treating unstable DRFs. The optimal treatment approach for DRFs is still a matter of debate. Therefore, this retrospective analysis aimed to compare the functional and radiological outcomes of ORIF and CRPP to determine the most effective approach for treating unstable DRFs.

Entrapped long head of biceps tendon in pediatric proximal humerus fracture dislocation: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Combined proximal humerus fracture and glenohumeral dislocation in the pediatric population is extremely rare, with only few reports of such cases been reported. We review all cases of combined proximal humerus fracture and glenohumeral dislocation in the pediatric population and present a case of left proximal humerus fracture dislocation in a healthy 5-year-old girl.

Case Presentation: A 5-year-old girl fell from 2 m height and landed on her left shoulder where she started to complain from severe left shoulder pain, inability to move her left shoulder and bruising.
