Effectiveness of an Artificial Intelligence Software for Limb Radiographic Fracture Recognition in an Emergency Department.

To assess the impact of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) limb bone fracture diagnosis software (AIS) on emergency department (ED) workflow and diagnostic accuracy. A retrospective study was conducted in two phases-without AIS (Period 1: 1 January 2020-30 June 2020) and with AIS (Period 2: 1 January 2021-30 June 2021). Among 3720 patients (1780 in Period 1; 1940 in Period 2), the discrepancy rate decreased by 17% ( = 0.

Analysis of risk factors for modification of femoral offset after internal fixation of Garden I and II femoral neck fractures.

Background: The concept of restoring the femoral offset is well established during hip replacement surgery, but is less well known when treating Garden I or II femoral neck fractures by internal fixation. And yet, the therapeutic aim for these fractures is to restore this native parameter as best possible. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for reduction of femoral offset after union of a Garden I or II femoral neck fracture treated by internal fixation.

Extrusion and meniscal mobility evaluation in case of ramp lesion injury: a biomechanical feasibility study by 7T magnetic resonance imaging and digital volume correlation.

The existing body of literature on the biomechanical implications of ramp lesions is limited, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of how these lesions impact joint kinematics and loading in the medial compartment. This cadaveric biomechanical study aims to address this gap by employing an innovative Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) method, utilizing 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images under various loading conditions. The primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive comparison of medial meniscal mobility between native knees and knees affected by grade 4 ramp lesions.

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Posterior Spinal Instrumentation and Fusion in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Current Status and Future Application.

The posterior minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) approach-or the paraspinal muscle approach-for posterior spinal fusion and segmental instrumentation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) was first reported in 2011. It is less invasive than the traditionally used open posterior midline approach, which is associated with significant morbidity, including denervation of the paraspinal muscles, significant blood loss, and a large midline skin incision. The literature suggests that the MISS approach, though technically challenging and with a longer operative time, provides similar levels of deformity correction, lower intraoperative blood loss, shorter hospital stays, better pain outcomes, and a faster return to sports than the open posterior midline approach.

Study of mechanical effects of lumbar disc arthroplasty on facet joints at the index level/adjacent levels by using a validated finite element analysis.

Lumbar disc arthroplasty is a surgical procedure designed to treat degenerative disc disease by replacing the affected disc with a mobile prosthesis. Several types of implants fall under the term total disc replacement, such as ball-and-socket, mobile core or elastic prostheses. Some studies have shown that facet arthritis can develop after arthroplasty, without much precision on the mechanical impact of the different implant technologies on the facet joints.
