Article Synopsis
- Study aimed to compare long-term clinical outcomes of total ankle replacement (TAR) and ankle arthrodesis (AA) in patients with end-stage ankle arthritis, using validated scoring tools.
- A cohort of 211 patients with a minimum follow-up of 10 years found differences in demographics and surgery reoperation rates between the AA and TAR groups; AA patients had fewer subsequent surgeries (70% vs. 58%).
- Overall, both TAR and AA groups exhibited similar functional outcomes over the long term, suggesting that the choice between these treatments should be tailored to individual patient conditions.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of moderately hypofractionated intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) targeting the prostate/seminal vesicles and pelvic lymph nodes for high-risk (HR) or unfavorable intermediate-risk (UIR) prostate cancer (PCa).
Materials And Methods: A prospective study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02874014) of moderately hypofractionated IMPT accrued a target sample size of 56 patients with HR or UIR-PCa.
Purpose: We report 5-year oncologic outcomes of a prospective series of patients with prostate cancer treated with spot-scanning proton therapy (SSPT).
Methods And Materials: A prospective registry identified patients with prostate cancer treated with SSPT between January 2016 and December 2018. Five-year overall survival, local control, biochemical failure, regional and distant failures, and adverse events (AEs) were assessed.
Endotracheal intubation (ETI), a potentially lifesaving intervention employed frequently in the emergent setting, is a manual skill that improves with repetitive practice and high-quality feedback. Classically, ETI centered around Direct Laryngoscopy (DL); however, with the advent and recent availability of Indirect Video Laryngoscopy (IVL) and Direct Video Laryngoscopy (DVL), studies have demonstrated varying results on the benefit of Video Laryngoscopy (VL) in training. We hypothesize that a training program centered on DVL, allowing students to visualize the anatomy and simultaneously receive instructor feedback via a real-time video feed, will practically improve student performance in DL.

- Osseous tumors of the foot and ankle are rare, representing only 3% of bone neoplasms, and distinguishing between benign and malignant types can be challenging, leading to misdiagnosis and litigation risks.
- A study analyzed 288 cases over 10 years, finding most new referrals were benign tumors (52.4%), with notable examples being osteoid osteoma and osteosarcoma, stressing the importance of early and accurate diagnosis as symptoms often persisted for an average of 5 months before referral.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for improved understanding and recommended management protocols to help reduce misdiagnoses and improve treatment outcomes for these conditions.
