Unlabelled: 3D-ultrasonic is gaining more and more significance in many medical disciplines, e. g., in angiology and prenatal diagnostics.
Aim: The aim of this study was to make a comparison between the informative ability of conventional 2D-ultrasound with that of 3D-ultrasound for investigations of joints and to determinate whether 3D-ultrasound can reveal additional diagnostic information.
Method: During a defined period of time all clinically necessary ultrasonic investigations of joints were done with a 3D-sonograph. However, all data recorded need a manual post-processing stage for visualisation in a 3D-mode. Due to the small impedance differences between the tissue layers, an automated tissue differentiation was not possible.
Results: The substantial advantage is that all the DEGUM standard levels can be derived from the scanning volume without conversion of the ultrasound head.
Conclusion: At the current time the benefit of 3D-visualisation in the diagnostics of joints is small. The introduction of this technique to daily routine is not yet justified.

Joint pain is the primary symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) and the main motivator for patients to seek medical care. OA-related pain significantly restricts joint function and diminishes quality of life. Despite the availability of various pain-relieving medications for OA, current treatment strategies often fall short in delivering adequate pain relief.

Background: The importance of monitoring both physical and mental health in athletes across different levels of sport is increasingly acknowledged due to potential injury risks. However, for the Chinese-speaking population, there has not yet been an appropriate assessment tool available.
Purpose: To translate, culturally adapt, and assess the validity and reliability of the Chinese versions of the updated Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-O2) and the Health Problems Questionnaire (OSTRC-H2) among Taiwanese collegiate athletes.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disorder requiring innovative treatment approaches.
Aim: To evaluate the use of nanofat, a specialized form of adipose tissue-derived cells, in the treatment of OA, by examining its efficacy, safety profile, mechanisms of action, comparative effectiveness, and long-term outcomes.
Methods: A comprehensive review of preclinical studies, clinical trials, and investigations was conducted.

Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures and one of the most well studied. Despite extensive research dedicated to ACLR, there is limited understanding of how chronic inflammatory systemic diseases (CIDs) such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus affect outcomes.
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of ACLR in cohorts of patients with and without CID.
