Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of four different fixation techniques for Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures considering the fracture morphology in the sagittal plane.
Materials And Methods: We constructed three different fracture morphologies in the sagittal plane in Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures: posteriorly angled at 20°, neutral, and anteriorly angled at 20°. We set up four fixation devices, including three cannulated screws (3CS), a dynamic hip screw with an antirotational screw (DHS+CS), a proximal femoral locking plate (PFLP), and three cannulated screws with a medial buttress plate (3CS+MBP). The twelve models were created and analyzed using the finite element analysis.
Results: The finite element analysis revealed that 3CS+MBP yields better results in total vertical and rotational displacements, regardless of the fracture angle in the sagittal plane. For the anterior and posterior angled fractures in the sagittal plane, the PFLP was superior to the DHS+CS. However, the DHS+CS exhibited less displacement than the PFLP in the neutral fracture line in the sagittal plane. The 3CS group demonstrated poor mechanical stability for Pauwels type III fractures.
Conclusion: Regardless of the fracture line in the sagittal plane, the 3CS+MBP showed better biomechanical behaviors than the 3CS, DHS+CS, and PFLP. In addition, in contrast to the DHS+CS, the PFLP displayed less vertical and rotational displacement in the anterior and posterior fracture lines in the sagittal plane.

Purpose: The study aimed to develop a deep learning model for rapid, automated measurement of full-spine X-rays in adolescents with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). A significant challenge in this field is the time-consuming nature of manual measurements and the inter-individual variability in these measurements. To address these challenges, we utilized RTMpose deep learning technology to automate the process.

The anatomy of the pelvis may obscure differences in pelvic tilt, potentially underestimating its correlation with clinical measures. Measuring the total sagittal range of pelvic movement can serve as a reliable indicator of pelvic function. This study assessed the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of the Kinovea version 0.

Patient-specific templating (PST), which is a sister procedure to patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) but hospital-based, is relatively less complex and less expensive than robotics and navigation. However, there are some concerns about the PST including the process of preoperative planning, 3D printing and material, positioning of PST intraoperatively, availability, and clinical value. The purpose of this study was to validate the technical accuracy and reliability of the PST technique in the lab and to report the outcomes of clinical application.

Background: Turning movements are frequently encountered during daily life and require more frontal and transverse hip mobility than straight walking. Thus, analysis of turning might be an insightful addition in the evaluation of conservative treatment approaches for hip osteoarthritis patients. The study objective was to quantify the effects of mild-to-moderate symptomatic hip osteoarthritis on lower-body turning biomechanics and evaluate the effects of hip bracing in this cohort.

Objective: To evaluate the pharyngeal airway dimensions and regional pharyngeal adipose distribution in the young adult minipig model.
Materials And Methods: Eight 7-8-months-old Yucatan minipigs, half male and female, were sedated and placed prone to scan the pharyngeal region. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed using dynamic turbo-field echo (TFE)-sequence with respiratory gating and adipose-weighted sequence.
