Objective: To investigate the relationship between variable influence factors and postoperative 2 week hospital special surgery (HSS) of knee joint, thus offer the treatment suggestion to patients with osteoarthritis, and judge the comprehensive effective prognosis to the clinical patient.
Methods: From March 2008 to August 2010, 72 patients with 72 knees were treated with TKA (treatment group), including 30 males and 42 females with a mean age of (71.9 +/- 6.2) years (ranged, 60 to 86 years). Twenty-two patients with HoldenIV OA treated by arthroscopy were in the control group, including 10 males and 12 females with a mean age of (70.5 +/- 5.9) years. The index including height, weight, BMI, muscle strength,knee joint HSS score and ROM were evaluated before operation and at 1st, 2nd weeks after operation.
Results: The HSS knee score and ROMs of patients in the treatment group improved. The pre-operative ROM, HSS score, knee pain, continous passive motion (CPM) at different level (i.e.CPM initial angle) had a prominent positive correlation with HSS score in postoperative 2 weeks. The factors such as patients' age, height, weight, BMI, muscular strength, etc. had no obvious relevant to HSS score in postoperative 2 weeks.
Conclusion: The pre-operative HSS score, knee pain, knee ROM, perioperative severe complications, and postoperative CPM initial angle have a positive correlation with the postoperative effects.

Objectives: Septic arthritis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a rare but potentially devastating complication. The imaging findings associated with such infections are not well-described or quantified. The purpose of this study was to describe and quantify the frequency of the characteristic MRI findings of infection following ACL reconstruction.

Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate and compare image quality of different energy levels of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) using standard versus strong deep learning spectral reconstruction (DLSR) on dual-energy CT pulmonary angiogram (DECT-PA).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 70 patients who underwent DECT-PA (15 PE present; 55 PE absent) scans. VMIs were reconstructed at different energy levels ranging from 35 to 200 keV using standard and strong levels with deep learning spectral reconstruction.

Background: Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a fibroproliferative disorder resulting from abnormal healing of skin tissue after injury. Although various therapies are currently employed in clinical to treat HSs, there is no widely accepted standard therapy. Micro-plasma radiofrequency (MPR) and autologous chyle fat grafting are emerging treatments for this condition, and they have demonstrated promising therapeutic outcomes in clinical applications.

Purpose: The main objective of this prospective study was to assess clinical, radiographic and safety mid-term outcomes after THA with a short cemented stem in an elderly patient cohort. Moreover, the study aimed at investigating the mid-term survivorship of the implant and the incidence of complications.
Methods: 96 consecutive patients (100 cases) underwent THA with a short cemented stem.
