Background: Sternoclavicular joint dislocation (SJD) is rare, and joint instability after dislocation easily leads to deformity, pain, and limitations in performing activities, often requiring surgical treatment. Currently, there is no ideal internal fixation method for SJD.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient with anterior dislocation of the right sternoclavicular joint (SJ) caused by a car accident who underwent open reduction and internal fixation using the double plate technique combined with the cable technique.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly malignant primary bone neoplasm that is the leading cause of cancer‑associated death in young people. GNE‑477 belongs to the second generation of mTOR inhibitors and possesses promising potential in the treatment of OS but dose tolerance and drug toxicity limit its development and utilization. The present study aimed to prepare a novel HO stimulus‑responsive dodecanoic acid (DA)‑phenylborate ester‑dextran (DA‑B‑DEX) polymeric micelle delivery system for GNE‑477 and evaluate its efficacy.

Purpose: This study aims to systematically review the efficacy and safety of total ankle replacement (TAR) and ankle fusion (AF) as treatment options for end-stage ankle arthritis.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on data from multiple databases, including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Construction and Building Materials, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus for RCTs and prospective cohort studies comparing TAR and AF in patients with end-stage ankle arthritis from inception up to June, 2023. Our primary outcomes of interest included patients' clinical function scores and complications.

Bone metastases is a common manifestation of advanced malignant tumors. With the recent advances in medical technology, the survival period of patients with malignant tumors is prolonged, and the probability of bone metastases is significantly increased. Approximately 70% to 80% of patients with breast or prostate cancer will eventually develop bone metastases.

Background: Surgical treatment is advised for unstable distal clavicle fractures (UDCFs). Various kinds of internal fixation methods have been used, but the best fixation is still controversial.

Methods: We systematically searched all studies comparing postoperative outcomes of coracoclavicular (CC) reconstruction (TightRope, EndoButton, Mersilene tape, suture anchor or suture), fracture osteosynthesis (clavicular hook plate (HP), locking compression plate (LCP), Kirschner wire and tension band (KWTB), Kirschner wire (KW)), and a combination of the two methods (LCP + CC or KWTB + CC) for UDCF in PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection via Ovid, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and China Biology Medicine (CBM) databases up to September 16, 2021, with no language restrictions.

Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is noted most frequently in periarticular muscles and has not yet been reported in the cruciate ligaments of the knee. We present a rare case of symptomatic ossification of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

Case Presentation: A 59-year-old woman had a 2-year history of knee pain that was getting worse during knee motion and had restricted knee motion for 1 year.

Osteoarthritis is one of the major causes of disability in elderly adults. Chondrocytes are responsible for the formation and remodeling of articular cartilage in joint tissue. The dysfunction of chondrocytes is a significant factor in the development of osteoarthritis.

The present study was designed to investigate the protective effect of moracin on primary culture of nucleus pulposus cells in intervertebral disc and explore the underlying mechanism. Moracin treatment significantly inhibited the LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine accumulation (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) in nucleus pulposus cells. And moracin also dramatically decreased MDA activity, and increased the levels of SOD and CAT induced by LPS challenge.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared the effectiveness of three surgical methods for unstable pelvic fractures: sacroiliac anterior plate fixation (SAPF), sacroiliac anterior papilionaceous plate (SAPP), and percutaneous sacroiliac screw internal fixation (PSCIF).
  • Among 78 patients, those who underwent PSCIF had quicker surgeries, less bleeding, and shorter hospital stays compared to the other methods.
  • Results indicated that PSCIF led to better functional recovery scores, while SAPP had fewer complications than SAPF, suggesting PSCIF is the most effective option for treating unstable pelvic fractures.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonography in diagnosing meniscal injuries by analyzing data from prospective studies.
  • A systematic review of seven studies involving 551 patients showed that ultrasonography had high specificity (0.90) and acceptable overall diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve of 0.948), but only moderate sensitivity (0.88).
  • The findings indicate that while ultrasonography is quite accurate in confirming meniscal injuries, it may not be as effective in identifying all cases.

Objective: To study the regulation of expression of β-1,3-glucuronosyltransferase 1 (GlcAT-1), an important regulator of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis, by Smad3 in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells.

Methods: GlcAT-1 expression was examined in rat NP and anulus fibrosus (AF) cells treated with transforming growth factor β (TGFβ). The effects of Smad signaling and Smad suppression on GlcAT-1 were examined in rat NP cells.
