The authors describe a lateral approach to the knee associated with a tibial tubercle osteotomy and a plasty using the fat pad to provide a complete closure of the wound. This lateral approach has been performed successfully in 98 cases, with only 3 skin necrosis. It offers a large exposure of the joint, facilitates placement of tibial component trial fit, and allows the self centering of the quadriceps patellar-tendon mechanism at the end of the intervention. The lateral approach disputable in case of genu varum is recommended in all cases of genu valgum or important deformities.

Department of Pathology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, United States.
Background: Hyperaldosteronism involves complex, multidisciplinary management, including clinical testing, radiological exams, and adrenal venous sampling (AVS). This study assesses AVS outcomes at a large referral center, focusing on cannulation success, lateralization of aldosterone-producing adenomas, and correlation with radiological and surgical findings.
Methods: A retrospective review of 153 patients who underwent AVS from September 2016 to January 2024 was conducted.

Orthopaedics and Traumatology Unit, Cattinara Hospital - ASUGI, Department of Medical, Surgical and Life Sciences, Trieste University, Trieste, Italy.
Background: Aim of the present paper is to report the preliminary results of CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design - Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology application to distal femur nonunion treatment with free fibula flap, custom made medial plating and maintenance of a stable lateral locking plate.
Methods: Two cases of distal femur nonunion that occurred after lateral locking plating were treated and prospectively followed-up. Surgical planning followed the same preoperative protocol adopted for mandibular CAD-CAM reconstruction.

Enhancing surveillance for dengue fever in Oyo State, Nigeria - a one health approach.
One Health Outlook
January 2025
Medical Virology Unit, Faculty of Basic Medical and Applied Sciences, Lead City University and Primary Health Care Board, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
Background: Dengue fever (DF) poses a growing global threat, necessitating a comprehensive one-health approach to address its complex interplay between human, animal, and environmental factors. In Oyo State, Nigeria, the true burden of DF remains unknown due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis as malaria, exacerbated by poor health-seeking behavior, weak surveillance systems, and inadequate health infrastructure. Adopting a one-health approach is crucial to understanding the dynamics of DF transmission.
