The relationship of radiographic pelvic osteolysis to computed tomographic (CT) volume and polyethylene wear remains controversial. We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of radiographs in detecting osteolysis considering CT scan as the true value, in 118 hips with cementless cups. Correlation between osteolysis volume in CT, area of osteolysis in radiograph, and linear wear of polyethylene was assessed. The sensitivity and specificity of anteroposterior radiographs for detection of osteolysis was 57.6% and 92.9%, respectively. Addition of oblique radiographs increased the sensitivity to 64.4% without changing the specificity. The sensitivity increased to 92.8% for lesion more than 1000 mm(3). There was good correlation between 2-dimensional (2D) osteolytic area in radiograph and 3-dimensional (3D) volume (r = 0.74) in CT scan and linear wear of polyethylene showed good correlation with 3D CT volume (r = 0.62) and 2D area in radiograph (r = 0.60). Thus radiographs are useful to screen clinically significant osteolysis.

Introduction: Congenital lumbar kyphosis is present in about 15% of patients with myelomeningocele. Worsening of deformity with complications such as chronic skin ulcers and bone exposure is common. In patients under 8 years of age, treatment becomes even more challenging: in addition to resecting the apex of the kyphotic deformity, we should ideally stabilize the spine with fixation methods that do not interrupt the growth of the rib cage, associated with the challenging pelvic fixation in this population.

Three-dimensional printed Ti-6Al-4V hemipelvic prosthesis has become a current popular method for pelvic defect reconstruction. This paper presents a novel biomimetic hemipelvic prosthesis design that utilises patient-specific anatomical data in conjunction with the Voronoi diagram algorithm. Unlike traditional design methods that rely on fixed, homogeneous unit cell, the Voronoi diagram enables to create imitation of trabecular structure (ITS).

Article Synopsis
- MRI is effective at identifying bone marrow involvement in multiple myeloma but struggles with detecting bone lesions, prompting a study to test new MRI techniques (ZTE and BB) against whole-body CT as a reference.
- The study included 47 patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma or at high risk, assessing the performance of ZTE and BB MRI sequences alongside PET/CT scans for detecting osteolytic lesions.
- Results showed that experienced radiologists achieved high accuracy (98%) with both MRI techniques, but there were noticeable discrepancies in detection rates across different regions, particularly with an increased false-negative rate in the spine when using ZTE.

Objective: To analyze the occurrence of osteolysis in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with highly cross-linked polyethylene prosthesis during a follow-up of more than 15 years.
Methods: The clinical data of 84 patients (105 hips) treated with THA in the Affiliated Hospital of Kanazawa Medical University in Japan between June 2000 and April 2004 and met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 77 females, aged from 41 to 75 years, with an average of 56.
