Talar Morphology of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Patients With Cavovarus Feet.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a common inherited neurologic disorder, significantly impacts the morphology of foot bones, particularly the talus. The disease has been classified into types based on specific mutations, with the most common being CMT type 1 (CMT1; demyelinating) and CMT type 2 (CMT2; axonal). However, the specific osseous morphologic variations in CMT patients and their major genetic subgroups remain insufficiently understood, posing challenges in clinical management and surgical intervention.

Lung Ultrasound Score in COVID-19 Patients Correlates with PO/FiO, Intubation Rates, and Mortality.

Introduction: The point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) score has been used in coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) patients for diagnosis and risk stratification, due to excellent sensitivity and infection control concerns. We studied the ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to the fraction of inspiratory oxygen concentration (PO/FiO), intubation rates, and mortality correlation to the LUS score.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines.

Evaluation of Rotator Cuff Augmentation of Proximal Humerus Fracture Fixation.

Proximal humerus fractures represent one of the most common fractures in the elderly, and are increasingly treated with surgical fixation. Suture augmentation attaching the rotator cuff to the plate has been advocated to combat varus collapse and other associated complications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of rotator cuff augmentation to stability of proximal humerus fracture fixation.

Avoiding Fifth Metatarsal Intramedullary Screw Head Cuboid Impingement: A Weightbearing Computed Tomography Anatomic Study.

Background: Multiple case reports of fifth metatarsal (MT) intramedullary fixation highlight symptomatic hardware with screw head impingement on the cuboid. We developed a fifth MT intramedullary screw trajectory model using weightbearing computed tomography data. The goal was to assess for cuboid impingement with simulated intramedullary screw position.

Ten-Year Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy in Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement and Borderline Dysplasia.

Background: The role of hip arthroscopy in the treatment of patients with borderline hip dysplasia is controversial and evolving.

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes at a minimum 10-year follow-up in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement in a hip with borderline dysplasia.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
