Traditionally, radiographic assessment of the hip with anteroposterior and lateral views is the gold standard of diagnosis in SCFE. This paper evaluates the possible contributions of other methods of modern imaging to the early diagnosis and treatment. There is scientific evidence that ultrasound can diagnose the disease earlier than conventional radiography and also has the possibility to differentiate the classification between stable and unstable. MRI depicts marrow changes earlier than any other imaging method available and has a role in cases where the diagnosis is difficult to make as well as in assessing the risk of chondrolysis and avascular necrosis. To show the anatomic deformity, anteroposterior and lateral radiographs remain the mainstay of preoperative planning.

Evaluation of Perceptual and Anthropometrical Facial Changes According to Increase in Vertical Dimension of Occlusion.
J Oral Rehabil
January 2025
Department of Prosthodontics and Research Institute of Oral Science, College of Dentistry, Gangneung-Wonju National University, Gangneung, Republic of Korea.
Background: For restorative demands, increased vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is sometimes necessary, as facial changes can be perceptible.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the perception of facial change due to increased VDO and associated soft tissue changes using 3D-scanned facial images.
Methods: Forty participants with healthy dentition and no loss of VDO were recruited.
Evaluation of Male Gonadal Radiation Dose in Abdominal X-ray Examinations: The Impact of Radiographic Projections and Kilovoltage Peak (kVp).
Cureus

Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy, Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences, International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuantan Campus, Kuantan, MYS.
In abdominal X-ray examinations, radiosensitive organs such as the gonads within or near the imaging region are at risk of radiation exposure. Minimizing the dose to these organs is crucial to reducing unnecessary radiation. This study utilized optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLDs) to measure the radiation dose to the male gonads at varying kilovoltage peak (kVp) settings while keeping the milliampere-seconds (mAs) constant across different radiographic projections.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences Okayama Japan.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of using a lateral wedge insole (LWI) during the first 3 months after medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) repair.
Methods: Overall, 179 patients were categorized into LWI use (LWI group, 90 patients) and nonuse (control group, 89 patients) groups. Patients in the LWI group were instructed to wear an LWI from the initiation of load bearing up to 3 months postoperatively.

Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, ShengJing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China.
Objective: To explore the correlation between vitamin D levels, related endocrine/metabolic factors, and the risk of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in children and adolescents, and to assess whether vitamin D levels are associated with SCFE severity.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted from March 2014 to October 2023 in Shengjing hospital. Patients diagnosed with SCFE were categorized as the SCFE group.

Department of Orthopaedics, Liaocheng People's Hospital, Liaocheng, Shandong, P.R. China.
Background: Vitamin E-diffused highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE/Vit E) is a relatively advanced material used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) but whether it shows superiority is unclear.
Objective: This meta-analysis was performed to investigate the effect of HXLPE/Vit E liners in THA.
Methods: Medline/PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched to retrieve studies assessing the efficacy of HXLPE/Vit E liners in THA with the design of a randomized, controlled trial.
