A case report of a patient with unusual compressive syndrome is reported herein. A 27-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to intermittent claudication in the left thigh and calf which gradually developed over the last five months. Angiography showed an atypical short occlusion of the external iliac artery. Only surgical revision made an exact diagnosis. The formation compressing the artery was a ganglion that originated from the hip joint and adhered to the artery. Resection of the ganglion was carried out. The adjacent segment of the artery was removed and replaced by end-to-end venous graft using vena saphena magna. From the operation until present (30 months) the patient remains symptom-free. To our knowledge a hip joint ganglion compressing the artery and causing symptoms of peripheral arterial disease has not been previously reported in medical literature.

Objective: Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease caused by a variety of risk factors, and it has been found that many biochemical markers are abnormal in peripheral blood and urine of patients with OA. The aim of this study was to elucidate the causal relationship between biomarkers associated with these processes and OA using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Method: The inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach to MR was primarily used to explore causal associations between exposures and outcomes using publicly available genetic variants from large genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Modified Center-Edge Angle in Children with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.

J Imaging

December 2024

Department Pediatric Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Children's University Hospital, Lenggstrasse 30, 8008 Zürich, Switzerland.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a prevalent developmental condition that necessitates early detection and treatment. Follow-up, as well as therapeutic decision-making in children younger than four years, is challenging because the center-edge (CE) angle of Wiberg is not reliable in this age group. The authors propose a modification of the CE angle (MCE) to achieve comparable reliability with the CE among children younger than four and set diagnostic thresholds for the diagnosis of DDH.

Sezione di Chirurgia Protesica ad Indirizzo Robotico-Unità di Traumatologia dello Sport, Ortopedia e Traumatologia, Fondazione Poliambulanza, 25124 Brescia, Italy.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a widely performed surgical procedure that has evolved significantly due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. As demand for THA grows, reliable tools are essential to enhance diagnosis, preoperative planning, surgical precision, and postoperative rehabilitation. AI applications in orthopedic surgery offer innovative solutions, including automated hip osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis, precise implant positioning, and personalized risk stratification, thereby improving patient outcomes.
