Self-supervised learning (SSL) has gained attention in the medical field as a deep learning approach utilizing unlabeled data. The Jigsaw puzzle task in SSL enables models to learn both features of images and the positional relationships within images. In breast cancer diagnosis, radiologists evaluate not only lesion-specific features but also the surrounding breast structures.

Aim: To determine the optimal first proximal screw position which permits proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment while minimising osteotomy gap formation when a manual reduction technique is used for TPLO in dogs.

Methods: TPLOs were performed on bone models using Synthes 3.5-mm TPLO implants with a jig but without the use of an anti-rotational pin.

Background: Acetabular labral tear morphology or orientation may influence hip stability.

Hypothesis: A radial tear of the acetabular labrum would result in greater rotational and translational motion compared with a chondrolabral separation.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates whether robotic assistance in knee surgery (TKA) leads to better outcomes in using thinner polyethylene inserts, reducing the need for thicker or more constrained options.
  • Researchers compared 408 patients who had TKA using either conventional methods or robotic assistance, examining factors like implant thickness and constraints.
  • Results showed that robotic-assisted surgeries used significantly thinner inserts and had fewer cases of larger, constrained inserts compared to conventional techniques, indicating a potential improvement in surgical precision and patient outcomes.
