Objective: To compare the difference in the manual measurement of Fengshi (GB 31) between the standing position and the supine position so as to determine the location.
Methods: A total of 197 volunteers were included in the manual measurement of Fengshi (GB 31) at the standing position and 92 volunteers at the supine position. The differences were compared between the two measurements.
Results: The results in the manual measurement at the standing position showed that the distance was (39.27±3.83) cm from the greater trochanter of femur to the popliteal transverse crease [(39.96±4.21) cm in males, (38.82±3.49) cm in females, < 0.05]. The distance was (19.08±2.97) cm from the tip of the middle finger to the popliteal transverse crease [(18.96±3.50) cm in males, (19.16±2.58) cm in females]. After calculating according to the formula of proportional bone measurement, Fengshi (GB 31) was located (9.28±1.44) above the popliteal transverse crease [(9.07±1.64) in males, (9.42±1.29) in females]. The results in the manual measurement at the supine position showed that the distance was (41.89±3.88) cm from the greater trochanter of femur to the popliteal transverse crease [(42.36±3.88) cm in males, (41.67±3.89) cm in females]. The distance was (23.01±3.37) cm from the tip of the middle finger to the popliteal transverse crease [(22.50±3.73) cm in males, (23.25±3.20) cm in females]. After calculated according to the formula of proportional bone measurement, Fengshi (GB 31) was located (10.51±1.69) above the popliteal transverse crease [(10.16±1.75) in males, (10.67±1.63) in females].
Conclusion: Fengshi (GB 31) is located on the femoral region, in the depression under the tip of the middle finger at the standing position. The simple localization of the acupoint at the supine position: at the supine, the palm touches the middle of the lateral side of the thigh, about 1 directly below the depression under the tip of the middle finger. The location of Fengshi (GB 31) in female is slightly upper than male.

Objective: To investigate the application experiences and effectiveness of the infra-acetabular screw (IAS) placement technique in acetabular fracture surgery.
Methods: A clinical data of 34 patients with complex acetabular fractures with anterior and posterior columns separation, who were admitted between January 2019 and October 2023 and treated with IAS fixation, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 23 males and 11 females with an average age of 55.

An accurate diagnosis of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) recurrence is mandatory. The diagnosis is difficult and has not been well investigated. Our objective was to define the role of clinical probability assessment, D-dimer assay, venous ultrasound and other imaging methods in the diagnosis of this condition based on a review of published data.

The popliteal fossa presents an extensive diamond-shaped topographical element on the posterior aspect of the knee. With the use of classical anatomical dissection, digital image analysis of NIS Elements AR 3.0 and statistics we morphometrically analyzed the size of the popliteal fossa in human fetuses aged 17-29 weeks of gestation.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at two types of diabetic foot problems: one caused by narrowed arteries (arterial stenosis) and one not (non-arterial stenosis).
- It aimed to see how a specific treatment called tibial transverse transport (TTT) helped improve blood flow and heal wounds in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
- Results showed that patients with non-arterial stenosis healed their wounds faster compared to those with arterial stenosis.
