Background: The optimal placement for a syndesmosis reduction clamp remains an open question. This study compared the center-center axis, which localizes clamp placement using only an internally rotated lateral ankle X-ray, with other common approaches, whose accuracy can only be confirmed using computed tomography (CT).
Methods: Bone models of anatomically aligned (n = 6) and malreduced (n = 48) limbs were generated from CT scans of cadaveric specimens. Four axes for guiding clamp placement (center-center, centroid, B2, and trans-syndesmotic) were then analyzed, using digitally reconstructed radiographs derived from the bone models. Each axis' location was defined using angle-height pairs that describe axis orientation along the full anatomical region where syndesmosis fixation occurs.
Results: In anatomically aligned limbs, the center-center axis was located on average (±95% CI [confidence interval]), 0.64° (±0.50°) internal rotation, 1.03° (±0.73°) internal rotation, and 2.09° (±7.29°) external rotation from the centroid, B2, and trans-syndesmotic axes, respectively. Fibular displacement altered the magnitude of limb rotation needed to identify the center-center axis.
Conclusion: The center-center technique is a valid method that closely approximates previously described methods for syndesmosis clamp placement without using CT, and the magnitude of C-arm rotation needed to transition from a talar dome lateral to a center-center view may be a potential method for assessing syndesmosis reduction.

Cerclage is an orthopedic surgical fixation technique using a cable wrapped, tensioned, and secured around a bone's circumference. It is important to minimize the loss in cable tension that often occurs due to stress relaxation. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of tensioning protocols on the long-term loss of tension due to stress relaxation.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to compare the accuracy of warm ischemia times (WITs) derived by a surgical artificial intelligence (AI) software to those documented in surgeon operative reports during partial nephrectomy procedures and to assess the potential of this technology in evaluating postoperative renal function.
Patients And Methods: A surgical AI software (Theator Inc., Palo Alto, CA) was used to capture and analyse videos of partial nephrectomies performed between October 2023 and April 2024.

Aim: The aim of this study was to introduce the Esophagus-Sparing Anastomotic Narrowing Revision (ESANR) technique for the intraoperative management of anastomotic narrowing and to conduct a literature review to provide an algorithm for the management of narrowing and strictures that may develop secondary to esophagojejunostomy.
Methods: Three patients with anastomotic narrowing during esophagojejunostomy were analyzed between September 2019 and June 2024. The anastomotic narrowing was detected by intraoperative gastroscopy after reconstruction.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combined complete preservation of chordal structure mitral valve replacement (C-MVR) with total anatomical arterial myocardial revascularization (TACR) in coronary patients with moderate-to-severe or severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). This is a retrospective multi-center case series study. Data were retrospectively collected from 127 patients with coronary artery disease with moderate to severe or severe IMR who received TACR with C-MVR from July 2015 to April 2024 in 13 hospitals in China.

Background: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is still limited because intracorporeal oesophagojejunostomy is technically demanding and difficult in laparoscopic gastrectomy. Circular-stapled anastomosis is considered the "gold standard" method for oesophagojejunostomy in open total gastrectomy. A purse-string suture instrument is used to create a purse-string suture along the distal oesophagus as a standard technique for classic circular-stapled oesophagojejunostomy in the open total gastrectomy.
