Purpose: One potential barrier for using prospective motion correction (PMC) in the clinic is the unpredictable nature of a scan because of the direct interference with the imaging sequence. We demonstrate that a second set of "de-corrected" images can be reconstructed from a scan with PMC that show how images would have appeared without PMC enabled.
Theory And Methods: For three-dimensional scans, the effects of PMC can be undone by performing a retrospective reconstruction based on the inverse of the transformation matrix used for real time gradient feedback. Retrospective reconstruction is performed using a generalized SENSE approach with continuous head motion monitored using a single-marker optical camera system.
Results: Reverse retrospective reconstruction is demonstrated for phantom and in vivo scans using an magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequence including parallel and Partial Fourier acceleration.
Conclusion: Reverse retrospective reconstruction can almost perfectly undo the effects of prospective feedback, and thereby provide a second image data set with the effects of motion correction removed. In case of correct feedback, one can directly compare the quality of the corrected with that of the uncorrected scan. Additionally, because erroneous feedback during PMC may introduce artifacts, it is possible to eliminate artifacts in a corrupted scan by reversing the false gradient updates.

Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols can reduce the length of stay (LOS) for surgical patients, including those undergoing unilateral deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, allowing most patients to be discharged by postoperative day 2. However, some patients require a prolonged inpatient stay due to difficulty completing postoperative milestones. This study aims to identify factors associated with increased LOS after DIEP flap breast reconstruction and assess safety of earlier discharge.

Background: Transfer of the supinator motor branches to the posterior interosseous nerve (SPIN) was first described as a reliable method of restoration of digit extension in cases of paralysis when there is retained function in the 5th and 6th cervical nerve roots with loss of function in the 8th cervical nerve root.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all the SPIN transfers that were performed in our unit which included 16 limbs in 14 patients over a 6-year period. The median age was 49 years (range 22-74).

Background: Outpatient plastic surgery offers cost-effective solutions and enhanced privacy but demands careful patient assessment for suitability and vigilant anticipation of adverse events. This study provides recommendations to enhance patient safety in outpatient settings by analyzing over 40,000 consecutive cases spanning across three decades.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive cases completed by board-certified plastic surgeons at an accredited outpatient surgical center between 1995-2023.

Background: The optimal length of thromboprophylaxis after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) is unknown. Fast-track protocols have improved patient care and led to shorter immobilization and length of stay (LOS) after THA and TKA, thereby diminishing venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk. Here, we investigated risk stratification-based thromboprophylaxis after fast-track THA and TKA.

Background: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical and psychological outcomes of using a locking compression plate (LCP) as a sequential external fixator following the distraction phase in the treatment of tibial bone defects caused by fracture-related infection (FRI).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records and consecutive X-ray images of patients with tibial bone defects who were treated with an LCP as a sequential external fixator following the distraction phase, between June 2017 and December 2022. The ASAMI criteria were applied to assess the bone and functional outcomes, and postoperative complications were evaluated by using the Paley classification.
