Background: We have performed minimally invasive Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion at L5/S1 (OLIF51) and simultaneous posterior screwing in lateral position for lumbosacral disorders. This study compared the clinical and radiologic results between OLIF51 versus Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS-TLIF) in single-level fusion for lumbosacral degenerative disorders.
Methods: A total of 71 patients underwent either OLIF51 (33 cases) or MIS-TLIF (38 cases) at L5/S1 spinal segment. The average age was 64 yrs (27-88). The disorders were L5 isthmic or degenerative spondylolisthesis, foraminal stenosis, pseudarthrosis and adjacent segment degeneration, and others. Using 35 mm oblique incision, OLIF51 was performed followed by posterior percutaneous fixation in same lateral position. MIS-TLIF was performed with midline 40 mm incision and modified cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws. The operation time, estimated blood loss, JOABPEQ effectiveness rate (%), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), fusion rate, radiologic alignment, and complications were evaluated.
Results: Average follow-up period was 25 and 31 months (12-45) in OLIF51 and MIS-TLIF, respectively. The average operation time and estimated blood loss were 165min, 62 ml and 163 min and 68 ml, respectively. The JOABPEQ effectiveness rate in OLIF51 demonstrated higher value in low back function (44% vs 17%, P < 0.02). The fusion rate was 97% and 92% in OLIF51 and MIS-TLIF, respectively. The segmental lordosis was significantly larger in OLIF51 (17 vs 11 deg, P < 0.01). There were no vascular or neural complications.
Conclusions: Although two groups demonstrated the equivalent surgical invasiveness, there was the significant superiority of OLIF51 in terms of low back function over MIS-TLIF. The segmental lordosis creation was also better in OLIF51. Even in the single-level lumbosacral fusion, OLIF51 serves as the safe and viable surgical procedure with use of lateral position surgery, minimizing the residual low back dysfunction.

Purpose: To compare outcomes of LLR in VI/VII of the liver in Left-lateral Decubitus Jackknife Position (LDJP) and traditional Supine Position (SP). We used propensity score matching (PSM) to analyze clinical outcomes.
Patients & Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing LLR for liver tumors in segments VI and/or VII at Shandong Provincial Hospital from 2018 to 2023.

It has been demonstrated that humans exhibit an attention bias towards the lower visual field (e.g., faster target detection for targets appearing below eye level).

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate morphometric changes in mandibular condyles of patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion following two-jaw orthognathic surgery planned using virtual surgical planning (VSP) and analysed with automated three-dimensional (3D) image analysis based on deep-learning techniques.
Materials And Methods: Pre-operative (T1) and 12-18 months post-operative (T2) Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 17 patients (mean age: 24.8 ± 3.

Background: There is a lack of evidence and continuous debate on whether femoral tunnel displacement substantially influences the clinical efficacy of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) in addressing recurrent patellar dislocation.
Purpose: To investigate possible associations between inaccurate femoral tunnel placement during MPFL-R and clinical outcomes, with a specific focus on proximal tunnel malpositioning.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stress techniques-including single-leg stress radiographs, Telos, and KT-1000 arthrometer-are highly accessible and can provide additional diagnostic information to assess ACL and ACL graft integrity. The degree of anterior tibial translation (ATT) may be useful in guiding treatment when a diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging is not conclusive or for judging if additional treatments, such as anterolateral complex augmentation, may be necessary.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing posterior tibial slope (PTS) on baseline tibial position (BTP) and side-to-side differences (SSD) in ATT.
