Skeletal tuberculosis(TB) is usually a rare osteoarticular disease in which bones or joints are involved. We studied 4 such cases admitted to Iranian National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases from 2000 to 2003. In the initial stages of the disease, diagnosis is very difficult and conventional radiographies often reveal nonspecific findings. Our experience in these cases showed that a high index of suspicion is the most important step in early diagnosis of skeletal tuberculosis.

Distribution of spinal damage in patients with axial spondyloarthritis as assessed by MRI: a prospective and blinded study.
Arthritis Res Ther
January 2025
Division of Rheumatology and Immunology, Department of Internal Medicine, Medical University of Graz, Auenbruggerplatz 15, Graz, 8036, Austria.
Background: Axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) leads to structural bone lesions in every part of the vertebral column. These lesions are only partially visualized on conventional radiographs, omitting posterior parts of the vertebral column and the thoracic spine, that may nevertheless contribute to impaired spinal mobility and function in patients with axial SpA.
Methods: In this prospective and blinded investigation, we assessed the distribution of structural spinal lesions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the whole spine in 55 patients with axial SpA classified according to the Assessment in Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria.
Influence of Axial Rotation Between the Femoral Neck and Ankle Joint on Kinematics in Normal Knees: A Cross-Sectional Study.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
January 2025

Background: The effect of axial rotation between the femoral neck and ankle joint (total rotation [TR]) on normal knees is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the TR effect on normal knee kinematics.
Methods: Volunteers were divided into groups large (L), intermediate (I), and small (S), using hierarchical cluster analysis based on TR in the standing position.
The Topographic Map of the Midfoot: Implication for Improving Safety of Dorsal Approach of Midfoot Surgeries.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
January 2025
From the Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Marmara University, Basibuyuk Yolu, Maltepe, Istanbul, Turkey (Dr. Ismailoglu, Dr. Sehirli, and Dr. Ayingen); the Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University, Atasehir, Istanbul, Turkey (Dr. Bayramoglu and Dr. Savasan); and the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University, Atasehir, Istanbul, Turkey (Dr. Kocaoglu).
Purpose: The surgical approach for midfoot injuries classically requires dual dorsal incision and identification of the neurovascular structures that are susceptible to injury during the surgery. The aim of this study was to map the topographic anatomy of the dorsum of the foot along with tarsal joints for the dorsal approach of midfoot surgery that would facilitate the surgery and minimize the risk of neurovascular injuries for surgeons who specially focus on foot and ankle injuries.
Methods: The dorsum of the foot was evaluated in 12 feet injected with latex containing a red colorant to visualize the arterial vessels.
Evaluation of the effects of asymmetric lumbosacral transitional vertebra on pelvic morphology in dogs using ventrodorsal radiographs.
Acta Vet Scand
January 2025
Department of Companion Animal Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Oluf Thesens Vei 30, Ås, Norway.
Background: A lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LTV) is a congenital anomaly of the caudal vertebral column. It has been associated with asymmetrical canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and cauda equina syndrome (CES) in German Shepherd dogs. This retrospective cross-sectional study aims to report the potential influence of asymmetric LTV on pelvic anatomy using ventrodorsal (VD) radiographs.

Department of Orthopaedics, Spaarne Gasthuis, Hoofddorp; Department of Oral Cell Biology, Academic Centre for Dentistry (ACTA), University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background And Purpose: Early migration of the uncemented cruciate-sacrificing rotating platform ATTUNE and Low Contact Stress (LCS) tibial components was classified as at-risk for aseptic loosening rates exceeding 6.5% at 15 years based on recent fixation-specific migration thresholds. In this secondary report of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) we aimed to evaluate whether the 5-year migration, inducible displacement, and the clinical outcome of the ATTUNE components were comparable to those of the LCS.
