Purpose: To compare tomosynthesis and computed tomography (CT) for evaluating bone plug integration after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft.
Methods: Data of consecutive adult patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with BPTB were analyzed. Bone integration between the bone plug and bone tunnel was evaluated by tomosynthesis and CT, which were both performed 3 months postoperatively. The obtained data for both modalities were reconstructed with slice thickness of 2 mm. Evaluation of bone integration were separately performed using coronal- and sagittal-reconstructed images for the femur and tibia. The ratio of bone integration between the reconstructed slices in which bone grafting was involved, for both tomosynthesis and CT, was investigated by 2 blinded examiners. The equivalence of tomosynthesis to CT was tested by comparing the bone integration ratio for both modalities. The accuracy of diagnosing bone union using tomosynthesis and CT was also investigated.
Results: The diagnostic accuracy of tomosynthesis and CT exceeded 80%. Interobserver agreement of bone integration in the sagittal plane on the femoral side was 0.92 (intraclass correlation coefficient) for CT and 0.76 (intraclass correlation coefficient) for tomosynthesis.
Conclusions: Although it showed poor reliability, tomosynthesis was equivalent to CT in evaluating bone plug integration after ACL reconstruction with BPTB.
Level Of Evidence: Level II, diagnostic study.

Introduction: Pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop mineral and bone disorders (MBD). We do not have Brazilian data that evaluate these outcomes, which can be obtained through epidemiological records.
Objective: To present the DOMINÓ study, which aims to describe CKD-MBD characteristics in Brazilian pediatric patients.
Comparative assessment of chondral defect repair using human bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, adult and foetal articular cartilage-derived chondrocytes, and chondroprogenitors: an ex-vivo model.
Biotechnol Lett

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Purpose: Cartilage repair necessitates adjunct therapies such as cell-based approaches, which commonly use MSCs and chondrocytes but is limited by the formation of fibro-hyaline cartilage. Articular cartilage-derived chondroprogenitors(CPs) offer promise in overcoming this, as they exhibit higher chondrogenic and lower hypertrophic phenotypes. The study aimed to compare the efficacy of various cell types derived from adult and foetal cartilage suspended in platelet-rich plasma(PRP) in repairing chondral defects in an Ex-vivo Osteochondral Unit(OCU) model.

Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, 510405, China.
Objective: Previous observational studies on the association between aspirin use, bone mineral density (BMD), and fracture risk have yielded controversial results. This study explored the causal relationship between aspirin use, BMD, and fracture risk using Mendelian randomization (MR).
Methods: Summary data for aspirin use and BMD of five different body parts (femoral neck, lumbar spine, forearm, heel, and ultra distal forearm) and fractures were obtained from the integrative epidemiology unit open genome-wide association studies database for bidirectional MR analysis.

Northwestern Health Sciences University, 2501 W 84th Street, Bloomington, MN, 55431, USA.
Background: Some chiropractors use spinal x-rays to inform care, but the relationship between radiographic findings and outcomes is unclear. This study examined the association between radiographic findings and 30% improvement in back-related disability in older adults after receiving 12 weeks of chiropractic spinal manipulation and home exercise instruction.
Methods: This IRB-approved secondary analysis used randomized trial data of community-dwelling adults age ≥ 65 with chronic spinal pain and disability.

Objective: To analyze the early- to mid-term clinical efficacy of personalized 3D-printed structural metal spacer technology in reconstructing massive bone defects during complex total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and revision surgery.
Methods: A single-center retrospective study was conducted on nine patients with severe bone defects who underwent TKA between 2018 and 2024. The general condition, surgical details, and clinical improvement of these patients were recorded and analyzed by clinical doctors.
