Unlabelled: We report here a unique case of a 3 year neglected rotatory tibiofemoral dislocation associated with a lateral patellar dislocation. The rotational deformity was gradually corrected using a Taylor spatial frame and the patella was realigned by tibial tubercle osteotomy and transfer. The patient also underwent multiple soft tissue releases and quadricepsplasty to improve knee flexion. At nine year follow-up, the patient has good knee range of motion, a congruent knee joint and a good functional result.
Clinical Relevance: Taylor spatial frame combined with other orthopedic approaches can be a useful tool while dealing with neglected knee dislocations.

Introduction: Global alignment analysis is of upmost importance in adult spinal deformity patients (ASD). Numerous parameters exist in the literature to measure global alignment based upon C7 or T1. One common limitation of these parameters is that they neglect the cervical segment which is essential in spinal compensatory mechanisms and in horizontal gaze preservation.

Purpose: To analyse possible associations between the preoperative pivot shift (PS) test and both patient and injury characteristics in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured knees, considering previously neglected meniscal injuries such as ramp and root tears. The hypothesis was that a preoperative grade III PS was associated with the amount of intra-articular soft-tissue damage and chronicity of the injury.
Methods: The cohort involved 376 patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction (239 males/137 females; median age 26).

Background: In spine surgery, the halo fixator was initially utilized to stabilize cervical fusions in patients with poliomyelitis. More recently, the indications for halo fixation have evolved to include stabilization and definitive treatment for upper cervical spine injuries (Jefferson fractures, atlanto-occipital dissociations, odontoid fractures, etc.), treatment of atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation, stabilization of long cervical fusions, and preoperative traction.

In this work, we present two compact basis sets optimized for the calculation of specific rotation: augD-3-21G and augT3-3-21G. They are obtained by combining the standard 3-21G basis set with the diffuse functions of aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ, respectively, followed by a reoptimization of the exponents of the diffuse functions. The exponent optimization is based on minimization of the root-mean-square relative error (RMSE) of the specific rotation computed at 589.

We investigate the suitability of subsystem time-dependent density-functional theory (sTDDFT) for describing chiroptical properties with a focus on optical rotation parameters. Our starting point is a new implementation of the recently proposed projection-based, coupled frozen-density embedding (FDEc) framework. We adapt the generalized, non-Hermitian formulation of TDDFT and derive corresponding expressions for regular and damped response properties from subsystem TDDFT.
