After open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), the patella is displaced distally, causing patellofemoral joint degeneration. The objective of this study was to ascertain whether the combination of OWHTO and lateral retinacular release (LRR) can prevent articular cartilage degeneration of the patellofemoral joint using magnetic resonance imaging T2 mapping. This study included 37 patients (37 knees) who underwent OWHTO alone (OWHTO group) and 37 patients (37 knees) who underwent OWHTO with LRR (OWHTO + LRR group) with a correction angle of <10° for varus knee osteoarthritis.

Background: The most common postoperative complication of the Sauvé‒Kapandji (S-K) procedure is proximal ulnar stump instability. The distal oblique bundle (DOB) is a stable tissue used to stabilize the distal radioulnar joint. This study created finite-element models of the distal oblique bundle (DOB) to determine its effect on the proximal ulnar stump instability encountered during the Sauvé‒Kapandji procedure.

Rationale: Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare, inherited metabolic disease caused by deficient activity of homogentisic acid oxidase, leading to the accumulation of homogentisic acid and its oxidized product, benzoquinone acetic acid. These compounds cause black discoloration of cartilage, degeneration, inflammation, and calcification of intervertebral disks and large joints, resulting in pain and impaired quality of life. Despite its debilitating effects, there are no curative treatments for AKU, and management remains supportive.
