Four male neutered continental giant rabbits aged between 10 and 30 months were presented with femoral condylar fractures, which developed without an observed traumatic injury. Stabilisation of the condylar fracture was achieved with screw fixation in all cases, which was supplemented with additional fixation in three cases. Complications consequent to the surgical intervention occurred in two cases: a femoral fracture and loss of fixation. Three rabbits were reported to have recovered normal limb function, and the rabbit that developed a femoral fracture as a consequence of its surgical intervention was treated with amputation.

Morphological Improvement of the Epiphyseal Plate and Trochlea After Surgical Correction in Skeletally Immature Patients With Patellar Dislocation and Trochlear Dysplasia.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hebei Medical University Third Hospital, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background: Studies have revealed abnormalities of the epiphyseal plate of the distal femur in patients with trochlear dysplasia, but it is unclear whether the epiphyseal plate could be remodeled after surgical correction of patellar dislocation.
Purpose: To investigate whether the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlea could be improved after medial patellar retinaculum plasty in skeletally immature patients and to investigate the correlations between the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlear dysplasia as well as clinical outcomes.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Purpose: To examine patient demographic and clinical outcomes associated with partial articular distal femoral fractures.
Methods: An IRB-approved study was conducted on a consecutive series of patients being treated for isolated partial articular distal femoral fractures at a single academic medical center between August, 2011 and July, 2023. Patient demographics, hospital quality measures and outcomes for each patient were reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the rotational alignment of the distal femur during distal femoral replacement surgery, an area where standard references are often lacking.
- It involved analysis of CT scans from adults, measuring angles related to various anatomical landmarks at different distances from the joint line, revealing distinct patterns of rotation.
- The findings suggest that while the Whiteside line is a reliable reference for positioning the femoral implant, attention must be paid to other anatomical features to avoid improper internal rotation at higher resection levels.

Bioreactor can provide a dynamic culture environment for the in vitro construction of osteochondral tissue engineering. They facilitate more efficient exchange of nutrients and provide mechanical and other beneficial stimulation. Previous findings demonstrated that rotary flask (RF) bioreactor, rotary cell culture system (RCCS), or electromagnetic field (EMF) mediated scaffold culture could create a favorable dynamic environment for osteochondral tissue engineering.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how recreating the anterior space of the trochlea during total knee arthroplasty affects trochlea depth at both mid and deep flexion angles.
- - Out of 122 patients, all had a balanced trochlea in full extension; however, more than 40% experienced overstuffing or understuffing issues in mid (32% understuffed) and deep (20.5% overstuffed) flexion.
- - Significant differences were found in external rotation of the trochlea components between balanced and unbalanced groups at mid flexion, but not in deep flexion or other measures.
