Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of virtual 3-dimensional (3D) cephalograms constructed using the principle of biplanar radiography by comparing them with cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) images.
Materials And Methods: Thirty orthodontic patients were enrolled in this study. Frontal and lateral cephalograms were obtained with the use of a head posture aligner and reconstructed into 3D cephalograms using biplanar radiography software. Thirty-four measurements representing the height, width, depth, and oblique distance were computed in 3 dimensions, and compared with the measurements from the 3D images obtained by CBCT, using the paired -test and Bland-Altman analysis.
Results: Comparison of height, width, depth, and oblique measurements showed no statistically significant differences between the measurements obtained from 3D cephalograms and those from CBCT images (>0.05). Bland-Altman plots also showed high agreement between the 3D cephalograms and CBCT images.
Conclusion: Accurate 3D cephalograms can be constructed using the principle of biplanar radiography if frontal and lateral cephalograms can be obtained with a head posture aligner. Three-dimensional cephalograms generated using biplanar radiography can replace CBCT images taken for diagnostic purposes.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of perineal access cannulas tethered to a biplanar ultrasound probe in cognitive transperineal prostate biopsies of targets identified by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) by comparing the results of the PrecisionPoint (PP) Transperineal Access System with the double-freehand (DFH) technique.
Patients And Methods: All patients who underwent cognitive transperineal prostate biopsy of mpMRI targets using the PP or DFH technique between November 2020 and September 2023 were enrolled. All data related to mpMRI target biopsies were stratified by technique, visibility in transrectal ultrasound and analysed by comparing PP versus DFH.
A modified Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) scoring system for patella fractures treated with osteosynthesis shows excellent intra und interobserver reliability.

Introduction: Patellar fractures are rare at 1% incidence of all fractures. However, they can cause significant functional impairments due to the patella's role in knee joint extension. Current scoring systems lack objectivity in assessing patellar healing.

Background And Purpose: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), an insert with ball-in-socket (BS) medial conformity (MC) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention restores kinematics closer to native than an insert with intermediate (I) MC. However, high medial conformity might compromise baseplate stability as indicated by maximum total point motion (MTPM). Using the BS MC insert with PCL retention, we aimed to determine whether (i) the baseplate is stable as indicated by mean MTPM < 0.

Purpose: Evaluate the validity of rasterstereography compared to low-dose, biplanar spine radiography for assessing thoracic kyphosis (TK) angles in Scheuermann's disease patients.
Methods: This prospective study included all the Scheuermann's disease patients consulting our clinic from 2016 to 2018. Recruited patients underwent two-dimensional low-dose biplanar anteroposterior full-length spine radiography and rasterstereography on the same day.
Does Tibial Plateau Slope and Depth Influence ACL Strain In Vivo?
Orthop J Sports Med
December 2024
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is loaded under tension when the tibia translates anteriorly relative to the femur. The shape of the articular surfaces of the tibiofemoral joint may influence the amount of anterior tibial translation under compressive loading. Thus, a steep lateral tibial plateau and a shallow medial plateau are thought to be risk factors for ACL injury.
