The purpose of this study was to develop an automated acquisition support for the semantics of abbreviations and evaluate its performance with respect to academic articles. Our goal was to support the maintenance of an institution-specific semantics inventory for abbreviations on a continuous basis. We retrieved articles from MEDLINE with the keyword "Liver [MeSH]," and 100 abstracts were randomly selected. Abbreviations and their full forms were retrieved using original Java software based on the following rules. (1) Searching the parentheses in the abstracts, the words inside the parentheses were retrieved as "INNER" and the words in front of the parentheses were retrieved as "OUTER." (2) Matching rules, such as whether the first characters of INNER and OUTER were the same. (3) If the words satisfied the conditions stated at (2), INNER was saved as the abbreviation and OUTER as the full form. Performance was manually evaluated by two graduate students and a radiologist. Of the 165 pairs of abbreviations and full forms that were obtained, 145 (87.9%) constituted correct matches.

Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) procedures have become much more common in the United States in recent years, with >40,000 UKAs performed annually. However, it is estimated that 10% to 40% of UKAs fail and thus require conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In the field of total joint arthroplasty, robotic-assisted surgeries have demonstrated advantages such as better accuracy and precision of implant positioning and improved restoration of a neutral mechanical axis.

Percutaneous Screw Fixation of Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Fractures.

JBJS Essent Surg Tech

November 2024

Department of Orthopaedics Foot and Ankle Surgery, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.

Article Synopsis
  • Metatarsal fractures, particularly affecting the fifth metatarsal, are common injuries, making up 5-6% of outpatient fractures, with zone 2 fractures—specifically Jones fractures—being difficult to manage due to poor blood supply and higher nonunion rates.
  • Surgical treatment, particularly open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), is preferred for Jones fractures, as it leads to better healing rates compared to conservative treatment methods.
  • The surgical technique involves careful anatomical marking and using a guidewire for screw placement to compress the fracture, followed by a recovery period that includes non-weight-bearing and gradual weight-bearing activities.*
