Day-13 fetal mouse palates (plug day=day 0) were labeled with carbon particles at various sites of palatal shelves and cultivated in a chemically defined medium for up to 48 h. During the culture period, the bilateral palatal shelves came in contact and fused with each other, which simulated in vivo palatogenesis. The carbon study revealed that at the midpalatal region, the medial edge of the palatal shelf elevated to the horizontal plane, elongated toward the midline, and made contact with the medial edge of the opposing shelf. On the other hand, near the anterior and posterior ends of the shelf, some new tissue was formed at the medial edge of the shelf by remodeling and this newly formed tissue took part in palatal fusion. The results of the present study indicate that during mouse palatogenesis, the anterior and posterior regions of the palatal shelf behave differently from the midpalatal region. It seems that in the fetal mouse palate, the midpalate closes mainly by means of rotation and medial elongation of the shelf, whereas the anterior and posterior parts of the palate close mainly by tissue remodeling of the medial edge and partly by medial elongation of the shelf.

The sub pronator approach to the coronoid process.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Saint-Antoine Hospital, Sorbonne Université, 184, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, 75012 Paris, France.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to describe a new anteromedial approach that allows exposure of the anteromedial facet of the coronoid process and to characterize the position of the median nerve's motor branches relative to this approach in relation to elbow positioning.

Material And Methods: We performed 16 anteromedial approaches on fresh anatomical specimens. The minimum distance between the medial edge of the trochlea and the second branch of the median nerve was measured in three elbow positions: forearm in supination with the elbow extended, forearm in pronation with the elbow extended, and forearm in supination with the elbow flexed at 90 °.

The primary weight-bearing structure of the proximal femur, trabecular bone, has a complex three-dimensional architecture that was previously difficult to comprehensively display. This study examined the spatial architecture of trabecular struts in the coronal, sagittal, and horizontal sections of the proximal femur using 21 cases prepared with P45 sectional plasticization. The primary compressive strut (PCS) exhibited a "mushroom-like" shape with upper and lower parts.

Lateralisation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty - A narrative review.

J Clin Orthop Trauma

March 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Woodend Hospital, Aberdeen, AB15 6XS, UK.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has witnessed a significant advancement with the introduction of lateralisation techniques, aiming to enhance shoulder function and implant durability. Traditional medialised designs, following Grammont's principles, have encountered challenges such as scapular notching, reduced rotational strength, and instability. In contrast, lateralisation methods, which reposition the joint center of rotation laterally on the glenoid, humerus, or both, seek to improve deltoid leverage, optimize the rotator cuff muscles' length-tension relationship, and enhance joint stability.

Background: In medial mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA), the position of the bearing does not correspond to the planned position which will increasing the risk of bearing dislocation. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the malposition of the femoral and tibial components and the phenomenon of bearing deviation using postoperative radiological measurements.

Methods: One hundred twenty patients who underwent mobile-bearing uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA) at our hospital between January and August 2023 were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that lateral meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) through medial arthrotomy showed less extrusion than that of the lateral arthrotomy. However, there is a paucity of literature reporting clinical and radiological outcomes after lateral MAT through the medial arthrotomy.

Hypothesis: Lateral MAT through a medial arthrotomy would show significantly improved clinical scores and minimal joint space narrowing compared with preoperative status.
