Purpose: We aimed to investigate factors related to the prevalence of anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR) and bony changes of the condylar head (bony changes) in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) of patients with anterior open bite.
Methods: Subjects are comprised of 36 preoperative patients (72 joints) with skeletal anterior open bite without facial asymmetry who had undergone orthognathic surgery at the Hokkaido University Hospital; magnetic resonance imaging of the TMJ and cephalometric analysis were performed before treatment. Logistic regression analysis was performed to clarify relationships among age, overbite, overjet, ANB angle, sella to nasion (SN) to mandibular plane angle (SN-MP angle), SN to ramus plane angle (GZN angle), gonial angle, and incidence of ADDwoR or bony changes in patients with anterior open bite.
Results: Fifteen patients had bilateral ADDwoR, and five patients had unilateral ADDwoR; 17 patients had bilateral bony changes, and five patients had unilateral bony changes. SN-MP angle was greater in 20 patients with ADDwoR than that in 16 patients without ADDwoR (p < 0.05). GZN angle was greater in the 20 patients showing bony changes than that in the 16 patients without bony changes (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: In terms of dentofacial morphology, SN-MP angle appears to be associated with the incidence of ADDwoR, and GZN angle appears to be associated with bony changes in the TMJ.

Dongzhimen Hospital Afliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, 100700, China.
Objective: To examine the mid-term efficacy and imaging results of using the Mobi-C and Bryan implants after cervical hybrid surgery for 2-level cervical spondylolisthesis, and to observe their postoperative changes and differences in the flexion-extension center of rotation (FE-COR) for the anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) segment.
Methods: Patients who underwent cervical hybrid surgery between June 2014 and June 2019 were included in this study. The mJOA, NDI, and VAS scores were used to assess clinical outcomes, and the FE-COR of the ACDR segment was measured.

Article Synopsis
- - Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are overuse injuries that occur when there's repetitive strain on bone, either from excessive physical activity on healthy bone or normal activity on already weakened bone, often seen in younger athletes and those with medical conditions affecting bone density.
- - Stress fractures are a severe form of BSIs, representing about 20% of cases and show clear signs on imaging; untreated, they can lead to complete fractures, with the main symptoms being localized pain and tenderness in response to increased physical loads.
- - Treatment involves early intervention, focusing on modifying risk factors like nutrition and activity; imaging such as X-rays and MRIs help confirm BSIs, with management approaches varying based on the injury's severity and location, necessitating specialist

This report aims to augment the presently limited knowledge on the characteristics of jawbone osteomas in children by presenting an exceptionally rare case of this tumor located on the buccal aspect of the alveolar process of the maxilla in a 13-year-old boy. A well-defined, painless, bony, hard, spherical enlargement on the maxillary alveolar ridge was identified and thoroughly evaluated through clinical examination, panoramic radiographs, CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans, and histopathological analysis. The tumor was surgically removed, and the patient participated in postoperative clinical follow-ups for eight years.

Background: The management of spinal deformities in patients with NF-1 is challenging. The study aimed to assess the outcomes of the surgical treatment of spine deformities in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 with our treatment approach.
Methods: A retrospective single-center study on pediatric patients with spinal deformities associated with NF-1 who received surgical treatment between 2006 and 2024.
