Purpose: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of concurrent cartilage procedures on cartilage regeneration when performed alongside high tibial osteotomy (HTO).
Materials And Methods: The systematic review followed the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). A comprehensive search was conducted on databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, covering articles published until August 31, 2023.
Results: Sixteen studies (1277 patients) revealed that HTO, with or without concurrent cartilage procedures, leads to cartilage regeneration based on the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) grade during second-look arthroscopy. No concurrent procedure showed improvement in ICRS grade (mean difference: - 0.80 to - 0.49). Microfracture (mean difference: - 0.75 to - 0.22), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) (mean difference: - 1.37 to - 0.67), and human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hUCB-MSC) (mean difference: - 2.46 to - 1.81) procedures also demonstrated positive outcomes. Clinical outcome assessments for each cartilage procedure were also improved during postoperative follow-up, and no specific complications were reported.
Conclusions: HTO with or without concurrent cartilage procedures promotes cartilage regeneration observed during second-look arthroscopy, with improved clinical outcomes. Future randomized controlled trials on the same topic, along with subsequent meta-analyses, are necessary for conclusive findings.

Comprehensive radiographic grading system and clinical outcomes of canine tibial avulsion fractures in dogs.

The tibial apophysis is a separate center of ossification in the proximal tibia of skeletally immature dogs. Because it is made of cartilage during development, it is prone to fractures (avulsions) and other tensile-related injuries. One prior veterinary study proposed a classification system for proximal tibial apophyseal fractures, but this study did not include fractures that involved the proximal tibial physis or metaphysis, which have been described in human classification systems.

Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.

Minimally invasive intradiscal procedures such as allogeneic nucleus pulposus (NP) injection have the potential to fill the treatment gap between failed conservative care and spine surgery.
Objectives: Our study sought to evaluate the magnitude and durability of improvement in back function in patients with chronic lumbar discogenic pain followed for 6 months after a single intradiscal injection of minimally manipulated, off-the-shelf processed NP allograft (VIA Disc NP®, VIVEX Biologics, Inc.
Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that vocal fold elongation, independent of traditional views linking it to thyroid cartilage tilt, plays a role in voice quality, particularly in singing.
- The research involved 20 professional singers who performed varied vowel sounds under different voice qualities, assessed through endoscopic examination and acoustic measurements.
- Results showed that a forward and downward tilt of the thyroid cartilage correlated with 'reduced density' voice quality, while 'fuller density' conditions showed no significant tilt, suggesting changes in vocal fold length related to perceived voice quality.

As a unique joint that facilitates the articulation of the upper and lower jaws, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is concerned with several critical functions, such as speech and mastication. Pain that can become incapacitating is a result of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), which are complex disorders affecting the masticatory muscles and the TMJ. Several anomalies and TMDs have an interdisciplinary relationship.
