High Detection Rate of Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Fractures and Poor Functional Outcomes in Type IIIB Impaction Fractures After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture and Reconstruction.
Orthop Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.
Objective: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures has been increasing annually. However, clinical surgeons have overlooked the impaction fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle in patients with ACL ruptures. The purpose of the present study was to report the detection rate of the posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures in patients with ACL ruptures, and to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) without treatment of the tibial fractures at a 2-year postoperative follow-up.

J Arthroplasty
January 2025
Dept. of Orthopaedic Medical Engineering, Osaka Univ. Graduate School of Medicine, 2-2, Yamadaoka, Suita, 565-0870, Japan.
Background: The effects of surgical treatment on the quality of life (QOL) of patients who have osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) have been rarely reported. This multicenter study aimed to elucidate the longitudinal QOL in patients who have ONFH undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: Self-assessment QOL questionnaires, including the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey Version 2 (SF-12v2), were administered to 124 patients at six months, one year, two and five years postoperatively.
Manifestations of human atherosclerosis across vascular beds.
JVS Vasc Insights
May 2024
Yale Cardiovascular Research Center, Section of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University.
Objective: Atherosclerosis underlies the most common etiologies of mortality worldwide, resulting in nearly 10 million deaths annually. In atherosclerosis, inflammation, metabolic factors, and hemodynamics cause the accumulation of extracellular lipids and the formation of plaques in the tunica intima of specific arteries. Atherosclerotic plaques primarily form in the coronary and carotid arteries, the aorta, and the peripheral arteries of the lower extremities.

Cureus
December 2024
Orthopedic Surgery, Sengkang General Hospital, Singapore, SGP.
Background: Femoral condyle insufficiency fractures following total knee arthroplasty (FCIF-TKA) are rare but significant complications. These fractures, characterized by atraumatic bone insufficiency near the femoral component, present unique challenges in postoperative care, often necessitating femoral component revision.
Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 835 primary total knee arthroplasties performed by a single surgeon, identifying six cases of FCIF-TKA.
Triple Pelvic Osteotomy Provides Joint Stability and Acetabular Bone Stock Following Hip Hemiarthroplasty for Ewing Sarcoma: A Pediatric Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Balgrist University Hospital, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Case: Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is used to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip in a pediatric population. This case report highlights a new indication for this procedure. Acetabular coverage was restored in a 9-year-old patient who experienced instability following hip hemiarthroplasty and proximal femur composite allograft implantation for the treatment of Ewing sarcoma.
