Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of tear and repair of the lateral meniscal posterior root (LMPR) on the patellofemoral contact pressure of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed.
Methods: This was a descriptive study. Six fresh-frozen cadaveric knees collected by The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 and January 2022 were placed on a customized testing rig. Patellofemoral contact pressures were measured at 30°, 60°, and 90° of flexion using pressure-sensitive film inserted between the patella and trochlea. The following knee states were tested: ACL reconstruction and intact lateral meniscus, ACL reconstruction, and LMPR tear, and ACL reconstruction and LMPR repair. Pressure measurements were recorded for each state.
Result: In the ACL-reconstructed knee, a tear of the LMPR increased patellofemoral contact pressure at 30° of knee flexion. The repair of the posterior root by transosseous pull-out suture reduced the patellofemoral contact pressure as the status of intact lateral meniscal posterior root at 30° of knee flexion. There was no statistical difference between ACL reconstruction with the intact meniscal root and with the meniscal root tear and with the meniscal root repair at 60° and 90° of knee flexion.
Conclusion: The posterior root tear and repair of the lateral meniscus could have an influence on patellofemoral contact stress of the knee after ACL reconstruction at 30° of knee flexion.

Objective: Miniscrews are commonly utilized as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in cases of maxillary protrusion and premolar extraction. This study aimed to investigate the effects and potential side effects of two conventional miniscrew configurations on the maxillary incisors.
Methods: Eighty-two adult patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion who had undergone bilateral first premolar extraction were retrospectively divided into three groups: non-TAD, two posterior miniscrews only (P-TADs), and two anterior and two posterior miniscrews combined (AP-TADs).
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the biomechanical properties of four meniscal suture configurations-two simple sutures (TSS), two cinch sutures, a locking loop stitch (LLS), and a delta-grip stitch (DGS)-for transtibial pullout repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) using porcine menisci.
Methods: Forty porcine menisci were randomly assigned to each suture configuration with all-inside repair. All specimens were subjected to cyclic loading for 1000 cycles, followed by a load-to-failure test.

Aim: Minimally-invasive spinal surgery is increasingly being adopted worldwide. In this study, we evaluated the postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent full endoscopic lumbar disk surgery.
Methods: Preoperative and postoperative 3rd and 6th month MRI features, visual analog scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and clinical features of patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy between August 2009 and January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of using a lateral wedge insole (LWI) during the first 3 months after medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) repair.
Methods: Overall, 179 patients were categorized into LWI use (LWI group, 90 patients) and nonuse (control group, 89 patients) groups. Patients in the LWI group were instructed to wear an LWI from the initiation of load bearing up to 3 months postoperatively.

Background: Worn dentition is a common problem encountered by most people in the last decade. Rehabilitation of a full mouth needs individual attention and proper treatment planning, which is very challenging for partial edentulous cases where bilateral teeth are missing and collapsed vertical dimension leaves inadequate restorative space. Treatment of these cases is complex and needs to apply standard principles while designing and fabricating prostheses.
