The author introduced a novel freehand technique for S2-Alar-Iliac screw placement Which demonstrated good clinical safety. However the optimal anatomical landmarks of the screw angle in the caudal direction have not been unified. The tip of the greater trochanter(TGT) was one of the most frequently chosen landmark in fluoroscopic or navigation guidance technique. Additional adjustments are always needed according to these studies. The freehand technique of the present study also choose the TGT as the as the landmark of the S2AI screw angle in the caudal direction, whether it also need any adjustment? We hope the author could explain more about this issue. Besides, the relationship between TGT and the sacral iliac bone is not static, which will make the reliability of the pre-surgery navigation software simulation doubtful.

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).

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the stability of palatal rugae patterns after slow maxillary expansion (SME) treatment and the reliability of the rugae region as a reference region in digital superimposition.
Methods: The SME group comprised 21 subjects with Angle Class I or Class II dental malocclusion with unilateral or bilateral crossbite and constricted maxilla and were selected before the pubertal peak. Intraoral scans were captured via the intraoral scanner iTero Element software (version 1.
Correction of Femoral Torsional Deformities by Rotational Guided Growth.

: Femoral torsional malalignment is a common cause of in-toeing and out-toeing in children, often leading to gait disturbances, functional limitations, and increased risk of falls. Traditionally, osteotomy was the only surgical option for correction. A minimally invasive technique known as rotational guided growth (RGG) has recently been introduced to address these malalignments.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the incidence of delayed-onset neurological deficits (DONDs), DOND-related reoperation rates following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, and efficacy of transverse process hooks (TPHs) at the uppermost instrumented vertebra (UIV) compared to pedicle screws (PSs).
Methods: We included 90 consecutive patients who underwent instrumented fusion from the sacrum to the distal thoracic spine for ASD, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. Clinical and radiological outcomes were compared between 33 patients in the TPH group and 57 patients in the PS group, using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 Outcomes questionnaire (SRS-22), Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short-Form 36 (SF-36), and various spinal sagittal parameters.
Unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression combined with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation offers new treatment option for thoracolumbar burst fractures with secondary spinal stenosis.

The purpose of this study was to present the surgical technique of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) decompression combined with percutaneous pedicle screws for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with secondary spinal stenosis. Thoracolumbar burst fracture is a common traumatic disease in spinal surgery. In the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classification of thoracolumbar fractures, Type A fractures have the highest incidence, accounting for about 70%, with A1 and A3 types being the most common.
