AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to compare acetabular positions during total hip arthroplasty (THA) using two surgical approaches: direct anterior and posterolateral.
  • A total of 102 patients were involved, with 51 receiving each surgical approach, showing no significant differences in factors like age, gender, and body mass index.
  • Results indicated no significant differences in acetabular angles or safe zone ratios between the two groups, concluding that both surgical methods yield similar acetabulum positions during THA.*

Article Abstract

Objective: To compare the differences in acetabular position during total hip arthroplasty (THA) between by direct anterior approach and by posterolateral approach.

Methods: Between December 2008 and December 2015, 102 patients undergoing THA were included in the study. THA was performed by anterior approach in 51 cases (anterior group) and by posterolateral approach in 51 cases (posterolateral group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, side, and cause of illness between 2 groups ( >0.05), with comparability. The acetabular abduction angle and anteversion angel were measured on the X-ray film at 1 day after operation to evaluate whether the acetabular prosthesis was displaced in the safe zone.

Results: The acetabular abduction angle was (42.28±5.77)° in the anterior group and was (43.93±7.44)° in the posterolateral group, showing no significant difference ( =1.30, =0.19). The acetabular anteversion angle was (21.14±5.17)° in the anterior group and was (21.05±4.10)° in the posterolateral group, showing no significant difference ( =0.05, =0.96). The ratio in the target safe zone of the acetabular abduction angle in the anterior group and the posterolateral group were 88.2% (45/51) and 84.3% (43/51) respectively, showing no significant difference ( =0.33, =0.56). The ratio in the target safe zone of the acetabular anteversion was 80.4% (41/51) in the anterior group and was 82.4% (42/51) in the posterolateral group, showing no significant difference between 2 groups ( =0.06, =0.79). The ratio in the target safe zone of both the abduction and anteversion angel was 70.6% (36/51) in the anterior group and was 68.6% (35/51) in the posterolateral group, showing no significant difference ( =0.05, =0.82).

Conclusion: There is no differences in the acetabulum position during THA between by direct anterior approach and posterolateral approach.

Objective: To review and compare robot-assisted ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RALUU) and laparoscopic ipsilateral uretero-ureterostomy (LUU) in terms of efficacy and outcomes.

Methods: Clinical data of 65 children with complete renal ureteral duplication deformity admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022 were collected. Among these, 42 patients underwent laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LUU), designated as the LUU group, while 23 patients received robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (RALUU), designated as the RALUU group.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

Background: Moderate-to-severe pain is common after cardiac surgery, peaking during the first and second postoperative days. Several nerve blocks for sternotomy have been described; however, the optimal location for continuous catheters has not been established. This study assessed the feasibility of a larger trial evaluating the efficacy of serratus anterior plane (SAP) catheter analgesia for sternotomy pain.

Eccentric Reaming is Superior to Augmented Components in B2 Glenoids: a Biomechanical study.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg

January 2025

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Ottawa Hospital, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada. Electronic address:

Introduction: Primary glenohumeral arthritis is typically associated with glenoid retroversion and posterior bone loss. Glenoid component fixation remains a weak link in the survivorship of anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty, particularly in the B2 glenoid. The aim of this study was to compare biomechanical properties of two glenoid preparation techniques in a B2 glenoid bone loss model.

Background: Dichloroacetate (DCA) has shown potential in modulating cellular metabolism and inflammation, particularly in cardiac conditions. This study investigates DCA's protective effects in a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on its ability to enhance cardiac function, reduce inflammation, and shift macrophage polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.

Methods: An acute MI model was created using left anterior descending coronary artery ligation.
