Extremity injuries to employees in an industrial setting are not an uncommon event in today's mechanised workspace. Cut injuries of the foot during handling of machines are common in the workplace and the management of such injuries depends upon various factors at the time of presentation. This case report describes a rare foot injury which has not previously been reported in the literature and describes its subsequent successful management.

Objective: A medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) may increase the posterior tibial slope (PTS). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the osteotomy inclination angle (in the sagittal plane) in combination with different hinge positions (in the transverse plane) on the change in PTS due to a MOWHTO.

Methods: We developed a mathematical approach to determine the effect of the osteotomy inclination angle combined with different hinge positions.

Purpose: To clarify the location of the popliteal artery (PA) is relative to the tibial osteotomy plane in patients with medial and lateral unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (KOA) undergoing UKA.

Methods: Preoperative MRI and postoperative radiographs obtained from 50 patients with unicompartmental KOA who underwent fixed-bearing UKA were analyzed. The amount of tibial resection was determined from the surgical records, and a line was drawn parallel to the tibial posterior tilt angle on the sagittal MR image to create a virtual tibial cut line.

: Eccentric bruxism is a complex parafunctional activity that involves grinding of teeth and occurs more frequently during sleep. This study aimed to assess differences in condylar parameters (sagittal condylar inclination -SCI and Bennett angle -BA) and mandibular and condylar kinematics during functional and parafunctional movements in bruxers and non-bruxers and to assess a digital method for quantifying eccentric bruxism using an optical jaw tracking system (Modjaw). : The study group included subjects diagnosed with eccentric bruxism according to validated clinical diagnostic criteria.

Purpose: The oral and maxillofacial (OMF) surgical community is making an active effort to develop new approaches for surgical training in order to compensate for work-hour restrictions, mitigate differences between training standards, and improve the efficiency of learning while minimizing the risks for the patients. Simulation-based learning, a technology adopted in other training paradigms, has the potential to enhance surgeons' knowledge and psychomotor skills.

Methods: We developed a fully immersive, high-fidelity virtual simulation trainer system based on Kitware's open-source visualization and interactive simulation libraries: the Interactive Medical Simulation Toolkit (iMSTK) and the Visualization Toolkit (VTK).

Background: Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is commonly used to reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Children with CP have an increased risk of spinal deformities that increase with age and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level. Few studies have considered the risk of spinal deformity post-SDR by GMFCS level.
