The development of malignant lesions in the acetabulum can lead to painful and disabling bone destruction. Lytic metastases of the acetabulum are frequent, causing pathologic fractures, pain and disability. The literature is sparse in relation to the exact indications and technique for this procedure. Percutaneous injection of methylmethacrylate or ethanol may provide marked pain relief or bone strengthening in patients, with malignant acetabular destruction, who are unable to tolerate surgery. Injection of methylmethacrylate is usually indicated when the weight-bearing part of the acetabulum is involved. The goals of treatment are pain relief and mechanical strengthening of the acetabulum. Radiography and computed tomography must be performed prior to therapeutic percutaneous injection to assess the location and extent of the lytic process, the presence of cortical destruction or fracture, and the presence of soft-tissue involvement. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman with a secondary acetabular lesion, which was treated successfully with percutaneous acetabular cementoplasty. We describe a novel technique used to inject cement into the lesion, allowing for greater cement volume and pressurisation within the lesion.

Objective: A simple and minimally invasive combined procedure, including transconjunctival orbital fat removal and transcutaneous resected orbital fat injection, was performed based on the anatomical characteristics of the lower eyelids in our young Chinese patients. Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of this procedure in our study population.

Methods: In our retrospective study, a total of 183 consecutive patients underwent a combination of traditional transconjunctival blepharoplasty and nanofat grafting between February 2020 and June 2024.

Balloon-assisted percutaneous thrombin injection in a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm: A case report.

Radiol Case Rep

March 2025

Department of Medical Imaging, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) is a rare but lethal diagnosis, and an important condition that should be detected and managed imperatively. SAP has been seldom described in the literature, explaining the lack of concrete management guidelines. Herein we present a case study of a 63-year-old man with SAP post a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) done 8 days prior to current presentation.

The aim of this research was to conduct randomized trials assessing the extent of cement diffusion following robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (R-PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). A total of 96 OVCF patients meeting the inclusion criteria and admitted between January 2023 and November 2023 were included in the study. Among them, 48 patients were assigned to the robotic-assisted PVP group (R-PVP group) and 48 patients were assigned to the traditional PVP group (PVP group).

Prone Transpsoas Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Degenerative Disc Disease.

JBJS Essent Surg Tech

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Center for Neuroscience and Spine, Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington.

Background: Prone transpsoas lumbar interbody fusion (PTP) is a newer technique to treat various spinal disc pathologies. PTP is a variation of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) that is performed with the patient prone rather than in the lateral decubitus position. This approach offers similar benefits of lateral spinal surgery, which include less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery compared with traditional open spine surgery.

Constructing an Injectable Multifunctional Antibacterial Hydrogel Adhesive to Seal Complex Interfaces Post-Dental Implantation to Improve Soft Tissue Integration.

Macromol Biosci

January 2025

Hospital of Stomatology, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Institute of Stomatological Research, Guanghua School of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510062, China.

Soft tissue integration (STI) around dental implants determines their long-term success, and the key is to immediately construct a temporary soft tissue-like barrier to prevent bacterial invasion after implantation and then, promote STI. In response to this need, an injectable multi-crosslinked hydrogel (MCH) with abilities of self-healing, anti-swelling, degradability, and dry/wet adhesion to soft tissue/titanium is developed using gallic acid-graft-chitosan, oxidized sodium alginate, gelatin, and Cu with water and borax solution as solvents, whose properties can be controlled by adjusting its composition and ratio. MCH can not only immediately build a sealing barrier to block the bacterial invasion in the oral simulation environment but also deliver outstanding antibacterial efficacy through the synergism of trapping bacteria and releasing bactericidal agents such as chitosan, gallic acid, aldehyde, and Cu.
