Cinematic rendering improves the AO/OTA classification of distal femur fractures compared to volume rendering: a retrospective single-center study.

Correctly classifying distal femur fractures is essential for surgical treatment planning and patient prognosis. This study assesses the potential of Cinematic Rendering (CR) in classifying these fractures, emphasizing its reported ability to produce more realistic images than Volume Rendering (VR). Data from 88 consecutive patients with distal femoral fractures collected between July 2013 and July 2020 were included.

Five or more gender- and size-diverse customizations of distal femur prostheses are needed to improve fit for Chinese knees.

Purpose: Mismatch between partial imported prostheses and Chinese anatomy affects the clinical outcome of the procedure. The purpose of this study was to measure the anatomical dimensions of Chinese distal femurs to provide guidance for the design of more compatible distal femoral prostheses.

Methods: A total of 406 healthy distal femurs were reconstructed and measured.

Three-dimensional computed tomography mapping techniques in the morphometric analysis of AO/OTA 33A and 33C distal femoral fractures: a retrospective single-center study.

Complex distal femoral fractures involve a challenging set of considerations that must be known to provide optimal management. This study aimed to determine the location and frequency of fracture lines and comminution zones in AO/OTA types 33A and 33C distal femoral fractures using three-dimensional computed tomography mapping. Seventy-four consecutive eligible patients were included.

Identification of hub genes correlated with tumor-associated M1-like macrophage infiltration in soft tissue sarcomas.

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous series of tumors that might result in severe disability and death. Tumor-associated M1-like macrophage infiltration plays a critical role in tumor development and progression. This study aimed at identifying the hub genes associated with M1-like macrophage infiltration in STS cells.

Transosseous-Equivalent/Suture Bridge Technique in Combination With Platelet-Rich Plasma Application Yield Optimal Clinical Outcomes in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Bayesian Network Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Purpose: To assess the clinical evidence defining the optimal combination of arthroscopic suture technique and platelet-rich products (PRP), and application for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).

Methods: All level of evidence (LOE) I randomized controlled trials (RCT) focusing on arthroscopic suture technique and/or PRP application in ARCR were included. The exclusion criteria were LOE II or worse, studies with other interventions, studies reported none of the predetermined clinical outcomes; studies unable to extract any precise data; studies from the same patient group of included studies.

MicroRNA-330-3p Expression Indicates Good Prognosis and Suppresses Cell Proliferation by Targeting Bmi-1 in Osteosarcoma.

Background/aims: Growing evidence has shown that miR-330-3p is closely related to the biological behavior of cancer, including proliferation, metastasis, and prognosis. However, there have been no reports on miR-330-3p expression and function in osteosarcoma.

Methods: Expression of miR-330-3p in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines was examined by quantitative PCR.
