SNU Seoul Hospital, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: Despite substantial increase in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) nationwide, there are few studies comparing flat-cut vs chamfer-cut talar systems in TAA with regard to radiographic aseptic loosening rates of the implant.
Methods: This retrospective study included 189 Salto-Talaris TAA and 132 INBONE II primary TAA with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Patient characteristics were obtained including gender, age at surgery, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, primary diagnosis, surgical time, and the presence of diabetes.

Purpose: The study evaluated the diagnostic performance of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) as a diagnostic test for biopsy samples from patients with suspected spinal infection (SI) and compared the diagnostic performance of mNGS with that of microbial culture.
Methods: All patients diagnosed with clinical suspicion of SI were enrolled, and data were collected through a retrospective chart review of patient records. Biopsy specimens obtained from each patient were tested via mNGS and microbial culture.
