Background: This study aimed to assess the influence of continuous rotation and reciprocation kinematics on postoperative pain (POP) levels and substance P (SP) levels in patients diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP).
Materials And Subjects: A total of twenty patients were randomly assigned into two groups: Continuous Rotation Group (CRG) (n = 10), subjected to mechanical preparation with the EdgeEndox7 rotary system (Albuquerque, NM, USA), and Reciprocation Group (RG) (n = 10), treated with the EdgeOne Fire reciprocating system (Albuquerque, NM, USA). Apical fluid (AF) samples were collected, and SP levels were quantified through radioimmunoassay. POP was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at various time intervals (preoperatively, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h). Data were statistically analyzed utilizing the independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Friedman's test, and Nemenyi post hoc test.
Results: There was a significant increase in SP levels in the reciprocating group compared to the continuous rotation group (P ≤ 0.05). Additionally, patients in the reciprocating group reported significantly higher POP levels (P ≤ 0.05) at all measured intervals (6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h), with both groups exhibiting similar pain level reductions at the 72-hour mark.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that continuous rotation kinematics in root canal preparation leads to a considerable reduction in SP expression and POP.
Trial Registration: The study protocol was retrospectively registered on the www.

Releasing Forces in Adhesive Capsulitis Are Imporant Indicators of Shoulder Stiffness and Postoperative Function.
Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, PR China.
Background: Manipulation under anesthesia is a widely used treatment for frozen shoulder, but the factors that influence patient outcomes after manipulation remain unclear. The degree of shoulder stiffness, a critical feature of frozen shoulder, likely reflects the severity of the condition but currently lacks standardized, objective assessment methods.
Questions/purposes: (1) What are the releasing forces in patients with frozen shoulder, and do the forces vary across different stages of frozen shoulder? (2) Are there differences in postoperative outcomes of manipulation under anesthesia among patients with frozen shoulder at different stages of the condition? (3) Is a higher releasing force associated with poorer outcomes of manipulation, and what threshold of releasing force is optimal for better outcomes? (4) What clinical factors influence the magnitude of releasing forces?
Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients with primary unilateral frozen shoulder who underwent manipulation under anesthesia after at least 3 months of unsuccessful nonsurgical treatment, which was defined as progressive worsening ROM, failure to make progress, or residual functional impairment after 3 months of treatment.
Latarjet procedure versus iliac crest autograft transfer for anterior shoulder instability: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.
J Orthop Surg Res

Department of Orthopedics, Hospital of Chengdu Office of People's Government of Tibetan Autonomous Region (Hospital.C.T.), Chengdu, 610041, People's Republic of China.
Background: Anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss presents a challenge in orthopedic surgery. The Latarjet and iliac crest bone graft transfer (ICBGT) procedures are commonly employed for its management, but direct comparative evidence is insufficient.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted.
Is a vertical fracture fragment after indirect reduction acceptable in minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis for acute mid-shaft clavicular fractures?

Purpose: Reduction and intraoperative maintenance of fracture fragments during minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) pose technical difficulties, particularly when the interposed fragment is angulated, prompting surgeons to attempt reduction due to concerns about nonunion or malunion. We aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of MIPO for mid-shaft clavicular fractures based on the reduced status of the interposed fragments.
Method: Fifty-seven patients who underwent MIPO for acute mid-shaft Robinson type 2B clavicular fractures were divided into two groups based on the alignment of the interposed fracture fragment.
Biomechanical Principles of Spinal Deformity Correction in the Thoracolumbar Spine.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Children's Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, MO (Shaw), Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland (O'Sullivan), the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Polytechnique Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada (Wang and Aubin), and the Sainte-Justine University Hospital Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada (Wang and Aubin).
Thoracolumbar spinal deformities are a pervasive condition affecting the adolescent and adult patient population. These deformities represent three-dimensional alterations in the coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes with implication on the local, regional, and global alignment. With continued studies, the importance of the overall correction on long-term outcomes has been established.

Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used to screen for coronary artery calcification. As the coronary artery has complicated structure and tiny lumen, manual screening is a time-consuming task. Recently, many deep learning methods have been proposed for the segmentation (SEG) of coronary artery and calcification, however, they often neglect leveraging related anatomical prior knowledge, resulting in low accuracy and instability.
