1.5 Tesla High-field MRI has been successfully integrated into operating theatres. State-of-the-art microneurosurgical equipment and computer-assisted navigation are merged with the MR to form a comprehensive unit. The set-up of an intraoperative MRI solution is delineated with special regards to the workflow.

Target populationAdults with imaging suggestive of a WHO grade II diffuse gliomas (oligodendrogliomas or astrocytomas)QuestionIn adults with imaging suggestive of a WHO grade II diffuse gliomas (oligodendrogliomas or astrocytomas), does surgical resection improve overall survival compared to observation or biopsy?Updated Recommendation from the Prior Version of These Guidelines:Level III: In adults with imaging suggestive of a WHO grade II diffuse gliomas (oligodendrogliomas or astrocytomas), surgical resection is suggested over observation or biopsy to improve overall survival.Question Q2In adults with imaging suggestive of a WHO grade II diffuse gliomas (oligodendrogliomas or astrocytomas), does maximal surgical resection improve progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to subtotal resection/biopsy?Unchanged Recommendations from the Prior Version of These GuidelinesLevel II It is recommended that GTR or STR be accomplished instead of biopsy alone when safe and feasible so as to decrease the frequency of tumor progression recognizing that the rate of progression after GTR is fairly high.Level III Greater extent of resection can improve OS in WHO grade II diffuse gliomas patients.

Department of Orthopaedics, School of Medicine, Jichi Medical University, Shimotsuke, Japan.
Purpose: To clarify the location of the popliteal artery (PA) is relative to the tibial osteotomy plane in patients with medial and lateral unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (KOA) undergoing UKA.
Methods: Preoperative MRI and postoperative radiographs obtained from 50 patients with unicompartmental KOA who underwent fixed-bearing UKA were analyzed. The amount of tibial resection was determined from the surgical records, and a line was drawn parallel to the tibial posterior tilt angle on the sagittal MR image to create a virtual tibial cut line.
Rare Coexistence: Giant Cell Tumor Recurrence and Infection in the Proximal Tibia - A Case Report.
J Orthop Case Rep

Department of Orthopedics, Apollo sage hospitals, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Introduction: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) ranks among the most prevalent locally aggressive tumor lesions, displaying a diverse range of biological behaviors. Recurrence of GCTB is well-documented, often attributed to microscopic tumour remnants remaining after intralesional curettage, with increased concern when infection occurs postoperatively. Studies suggest the limited effectiveness of adjuvants in preventing giant cell tumour recurrence, emphasizing the necessity of complete removal of malignant cells.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba, 260-8670, Japan.
Purpose: Spinal epidural abscesses are rare yet serious conditions, often necessitating emergency surgical intervention. Holospinal epidural abscesses (HEA) extending from the cervical to the lumbosacral spine are even rarer and present significant challenges in management. This report aims to describe a case of HEA with both ventrally-located cervical and dorsally-located thoracolumbar epidural abscesses treated with a combination of anterior keyhole decompression and posterior skip decompression surgeries.
