Recent systematic reviews have shown anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) grafts to have superior clinical outcomes compared with traditional bone-patella tendon-bone and hamstring tendons grafts. Using minimally invasive techniques to harvest the QT graft can reduce postoperative pain and intraoperative surgical time. This technique is usually performed with a distal-to-proximal approach but often has issues of inadvertently harvesting a graft short of the desired length or causing a hematoma. As an alternative, we introduce a minimally invasive approach with a proximal-to-distal harvest technique that results in better visualization of tissue planes, more consistent graft sizes, lower risk of inadvertent arthrotomy, and reduced risk of hematoma. The minimally invasive QT graft harvest with a proximal-to-distal approach can offer unique advantages over the current standard distal-to-proximal approach.

Background: The occurrence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) might be associated with the proximal femoral morphology and the pelvis. PFFs in short stem THA are associated with an increased Canal Flare Index. PFFs in straight stem THA show a decreased Canal Flare Index.

For patients considering bariatric surgery, it is essential to have clear answers to common questions to ensure the success of the procedure. Patients should understand that surgery is not a quick fix but a tool that must be complemented by lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and regular physical activity. The procedure carries potential risks that should be weighed against the potential benefits.

Advancements in minimally invasive treatment of deltoid ligament injuries combined with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries.

The deltoid ligament (medial collateral ligament) and the syndesmosis (a composite ligamentous structure at the distal tibiofibular junction) are critical for maintaining ankle stability. In cases of high-energy ankle fractures, these structures are often injured simultaneously, leading to instability and potential long-term complications such as post-traumatic arthritis. This review aims to explore advancements in minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of combined deltoid ligament and syndesmosis injuries, with a focus on optimizing surgical outcomes and reducing patient morbidity.

Background: vNOTES has been documented as a viable approach for conducting benign gynecologic surgery; however, its application in ectopic pregnancy cases remains relatively scarce. The principal objective of this investigation was to assess the practicability, effectiveness, and safety of vNOTES in surgical procedures related to ectopic pregnancy.
Methods: Clinical data pertaining to patients diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy at Beijing Hospital between January 2018 and August 2023 were retrospectively collected (This study retrospectively registered with the China Clinical Trial Registry with the registration number ChiCTR2100052223 in September 22, 2021.
