We conducted comparative thermodynamic analysis of femoral cartilages tissue of injured (healthy) patients and patients with congenital hip dislocation. It is shown, that temperature which corresponds to maximum of heat absorption peak of femoral cartilages tissue of diseased patient is on 6.4oC lower than heat absorption peak of femoral cartilages tissue of healthy patient. Heat absorbed during denaturation process in all these cases are close to each other with experimental error accuracy and corresponds to 52±2.6, 51±2.6 and 50±2.5 J/g of dried biomass accordingly. Analysis of the published data makes it possible to assert that the dominant heat absorption stage on DSC curves of tested fresh tissues samples is associated with melting of collagen fibers, hence the thermal stability of the collagen fibers in the patient's tissue is reduced relative to norm.

Case: Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is used to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip in a pediatric population. This case report highlights a new indication for this procedure. Acetabular coverage was restored in a 9-year-old patient who experienced instability following hip hemiarthroplasty and proximal femur composite allograft implantation for the treatment of Ewing sarcoma.

Purpose: Previous studies reported that anterior knee pain (AKP) occurs with an incidence of 32% after opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). However, the biomechanical effects of this procedure on patellofemoral joints (PFJs) remain unclear. We aimed to quantify the changes in the kinematics and cartilage conditions of the PFJ during stair climbing before and after OWHTO.

Objective: We sought to measure the deformation of tibiofemoral cartilage immediately following a 3-mile treadmill run, as well as the recovery of cartilage thickness the following day. To enable these measurements, we developed and validated deep learning models to automate tibiofemoral cartilage and bone segmentation from double-echo steady-state magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

Design: Eight asymptomatic male participants arrived at 7 a.

Introduction: Despite the good clinical outcomes of osteochondral autograft transplantation (OAT), reports of re-arthroscopic findings after OAT have been limited to short-term, and there are no reports of findings after long-term follow-up. This is the first report that describes re-arthroscopic findings long-term after OAT.

Case Report: A male patient underwent OAT on the lateral femoral condyle (LFC) of the knee and lateral meniscus (LM) repair at the age of 45.

Purpose: Tibial rotational deformity is a known risk factor for patellofemoral joint (PFJ) disorders. However, it is commonly associated with other abnormalities which affect the PFJ. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of associated factors known to affect PFJ in patients undergoing rotational tibial osteotomy and their implication for the correction level.
