Background: Trochleoplasty is a surgical consideration for the treatment of high-grade trochlear dysplasia. The safety profile of this procedure remains particularly unclear in the skeletally immature population where concerns exist regarding physeal arrest and the development of premature patellofemoral arthritis. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to evaluate trochleoplasty use, outcomes and complications observed among pediatric patients.

Introduction: Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 1 (SEMD-JL1) is an extremely rare skeletal dysplasia belonging to a group of disorders called linkeropathies. It is characterized by skeletal and connective tissue abnormalities. Biallelic variants in genes encoding enzymes that synthesize the tetrasaccharide linker region of glycosaminoglycans lead to linkeropathies, which exhibit clinical and phenotypic features that overlap with each other.

Purpose: To update previously published clinical and radiographic outcomes of Dejour sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R), at mid-term follow-up, and monitor trends in patient reported outcome scores and satisfaction.
Methods: Using the same cohort of patients from our previously published short-term series of 2-year follow up, interval follow-up was performed on 67 patients (76 knees) with severe trochlear dysplasia and recurrent patellar instability who were prospectively enrolled and underwent Dejour sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty and MPFL-R combined with other patellar-stabilization procedures. Patients with less than 2-year follow-up were excluded.
Purpose: Tibial rotational deformity is a known risk factor for patellofemoral joint (PFJ) disorders. However, it is commonly associated with other abnormalities which affect the PFJ. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of associated factors known to affect PFJ in patients undergoing rotational tibial osteotomy and their implication for the correction level.

Aims: WNT signalling pathway dysregulation is often a critical early component in colorectal neoplasia, particularly the chromosomal instability pathway. Using two WNT reporters, and , we sought to assess whether these polyps demonstrate predictable expression patterns and if these patterns show diagnostic value.
Methods: We evaluated 23 adenomas (TA), 23 sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), 14 SSL with dysplasia and 38 traditional serrated adenomas (TSA).
