Objective: Condylar position may play a key role in the stability of orthodontic treatment of patients presenting with different skeletal patterns. The aim of the present study was to assess via cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) correlations between condylar position and sagittal skeletal relationship.
Patients And Methods: Condylar positions in CBCT images of 20 patients presenting with a Class I skeletal pattern, 20 with a Class II skeletal pattern, and 20 with a Class III skeletal pattern were evaluated retrospectively. The χ (2) test was used to assess the correlation between condylar position and sagittal skeletal relationships.
Results: The condyles were anteriorly positioned in patients with Class II skeletal pattern in comparison with those with Class I and III skeletal patterns. No significant differences in condylar position between Class I and Class III subjects were detected.
Conclusion: A significant correlation between condylar position and sagittal skeletal patterns was observed in the present study. This relationship should be considered when planning and carrying out the appropriate orthodontic treatment for temporomandibular anomalies.

Automated versus Manual Femoral Component Rotation Planning in Robotic-Assisted and Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Comparison.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine if using automated femoral rotation planning in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) was associated with differences in functional outcomes compared to patients who underwent manually set femoral rotation in RA-TKA or conventional TKA (C-TKA).
Methods: This was a retrospective, multi-center study of patients who underwent TKA utilizing conventional methods with femoral component rotation set to three degrees externally (C-TKA) [n = 108 knees], RA-TKA with automated femoral rotation planning intrinsic to the system (A-RA-TKA) [n = 111], and RA-TKA with femoral rotation manually set by the surgeon (M-RA-TKA) [n = 152], at least one year before follow-up. Outcome measures included the range of motion (ROM), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Joint Replacement (KOOS-JR), and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS).

Objective: To evaluate the position and orientation of the mandibular proximal segment and the volume of condylar and coronoid processes in class II and III patients submitted to bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, using cone beam computed tomography scans.
Methods: Class II and III patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery were evaluated by fusing their preoperative virtual planning and postoperative outcomes. The CBCT scans were import into Dolphin Imaging Software and the images were superimposed.

Background: Posterior tibial plateau bicondylar fracture combined with anterior cruciate ligament injury, also known as the "Posterior Condylar Triad", is a regular combination injury. The traditional surgical strategy involves first fixing the posterior condyle in the prone position and then treating the anterior cruciate ligament avulsion injury after the patient turns over. This surgical strategy is cumbersome, requires multiple surgical preparations, prolongs the surgical time, and increases the patient's risk.

This study aimed to assess alterations in lateral pterygoid muscle volume (LPMV) and condyle position after the correction of mandibular asymmetry by sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). The data were evaluated by superimposing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images acquired before and after the SSRO. In total, 32 patients were divided into symmetric and asymmetric according to linear measurements from the dental midline.

Materials And Methods: The neuromuscular condylar positions were recorded by four independent operators in 81 fully dentate subjects with healthy oral function using a central bearing point system and rapid closing movements.
