Background: Diagnostics of intraarticular lesions is important in the treatment of traumatic anterior shoulder instability.
Patients And Methods: We studied 30 patients: 26 men and 4 women. For all patients preoperative examinations involved arthrography, CT arthrography, MR arthrography, and 3D-CT.
Results: The articular capsule adhered to the margin of the glenoid in only 3 cases. In the remaining 27 patients, the joint capsule was detached, showing medial translation. Hill-Sachs lesions were present in 24 cases. Bankart lesions were detected in all cases, and they extended over 2-5 h. Osseous Bankart lesions were detected in 13 cases. MR arthrography revealed the articular labrum in all cases, but AIGHL in only 16 cases. Bankart lesions were found in all cases. When the patients were divided according to the frequency of dislocation, there was a correlation between both distance of the detached joint capsule and visualization of AIGHL and the frequency of dislocation.
Interpretation: From this study, the frequency of dislocation was higher in the patients with severe detachment of the joint capsule, in whom AIGHL could not be visualized by MR arthrography.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic outcomes of distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy associated with lateral joint capsule split as only lateral soft tissue release in patients with symptomatic moderate and severe hallux valgus (HV) deformity. Ninety patients (103 feet) at our institution between January 2014 and December 2019 were included in the present retrospective study. Each patient was evaluated preoperatively and at final follow-up by means of weight bearing radiographs lateral and dorsoplantar views.

The canine elbow joint is innervated by four nerves: the musculocutaneous, median, radial, and ulnar nerves. There is little data in the veterinary literature examining the course of the articular branches of those nerves. There is also no agreement as to their anatomical location in the joint capsule nor to their number.

: Elbow contracture is a common complication post-elbow trauma, the biomechanical environment after anterior capsule injury was complex. This study aimed to use a finite element model to investigate the biomechanical environment within elbow capsule and its surrounding tissues at various stages after anterior capsule injury. : A finite element model of the elbow joint, incorporating muscle activation behavior, was developed to simulate elbow flexion under normal condition (no injury) and at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks following anterior joint capsular injury.

Purpose Of Review: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial tissue, where T cells play a central role in pathogenesis. Recent research has identified T peripheral helper (Tph) cells as critical mediators of local B cell activation in inflamed tissues. This review synthesizes the latest advancements in our understanding the of the role of T cells in RA, from initiation to established disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that leads to joint damage and physical dysfunction. The pathogenesis of RA is highly complex, involving genetic, epigenetic, immune, and metabolic factors, among others. Over the years, research has highlighted the importance of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating gene expression.
