Objective: To evaluate the association of ESR1 rs2234693 and rs9340799 polymorphisms with radiographic defined knee osteoarthritis (OA), a case-control and meta-analysis was performed.

Methods: A total of 25 case-control studies with 7,144 cases and 8,468 controls with were included.

Results: There was a significant association between rs2234693 polymorphism and radiographic knee OA under heterozygote model (CT vs. TT: OR = 1.164, 95% CI 1.053-1.286, p = 0.003). However, there was no association between rs9340799 and radiographic knee OA. In subgroup analysis by ethnicity, risk estimates were not augmented.

Conclusions: Our results showed that the ESR1 rs2234693 polymorphism might be associated with radiographic defined knee OA, but not rs9340799.

Purpose Of The Study: Lisfranc is a challenging injury both diagnostically and surgically, with sparse long-term literature evidence of surgical practice. We aim to review our long-term specialist orthopaedic institutional experience of Lisfranc injuries and the surgical management of this complex injury, specifically considering surgical outcomes as per radiological and clinical assessment.

Material And Methods: We present data from a prospectively maintained institutional database, reviewing patients who underwent operative fixation for Lisfranc injury between April 2014 and August 2020.

Purpose Of The Study: Temporary hemiepiphyseodesis using figure-eight plates is currently one of the main surgical techniques to correct axial deformities of lower limbs in paediatric patients. Comprehensive analysis, correct indication and monitoring of treatment are the basic prerequisites for successful therapy. The aim of the study was to analyse parameters that could become an alternative to standard parameters used nowadays, namely the inserted screw angle (SA), and a new parameter - condylar ratio (CR).

Background: Thymic cysts can be classified as congenital or acquired. Most thymic cysts do not change in size over a short period of time. Although very rare, thymic cyst rupture is associated with serious complications, such as mediastinal hemorrhage and hemothorax.

Background: Different protocols exist regarding wear time of invisible aligners. There is no study that compared the effect of different protocols. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Invisalign aligners in four first-premolar extraction treatments in adolescents using three aligner wear protocols, every 7, 10 and 14 days.

Background: Unstable diametaphyseal radius fractures (DMRFs) can be prone to complications, and treatment strategies are heterogeneous. Studies are difficult to interpret as definitions of the diametaphyseal junction zone (DMJZ) are impractical for clinical use, imprecise, or prone to error.

Methods: We introduce the forearm fracture index (FFI) to define DMRFs in radiographs and ultrasound.
