Purpose: Although idiopathic scoliosis is a common three-dimensional deformity, there is a lack of studies evaluating the associations between the aortic-vertebral distance (AVD) and spinal deformities in all planes. The study therefore aimed to evaluate how the coronal and sagittal curvature, vertebral rotation and aortic-vertebral angle (AVA) affect the AVD in idiopathic scoliosis.
Methods: The AVD, AVA, vertebral rotation and curve angles were measured on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and radiographs in 46 patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion with pedicle screw instrumentation for idiopathic scoliosis Lenke types 1 and 2.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the role of olfactory sulci (OS) in diagnosing CHARGE syndrome among fetuses with major congenital heart defects (CHDs).
Methods: We prospectively evaluated OS development in fetuses diagnosed with CHDs from 2017 to 2021. Neurosonography (NSG) was performed using transabdominal and transvaginal approaches after 30 weeks of gestation.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an invaluable method of choice for anatomical and functional in vivo imaging of the brain. Still, accurate delineation of the brain structures remains a crucial task of MR image evaluation. This study presents a novel analytical algorithm developed in MATLAB for the automatic segmentation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces in preclinical non-contrast MR images of the mouse brain.

Background: A contemporary trend favours a restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) strategy, incorporating safe boundaries to restore a variable percentage of a patient's natural alignment.This study aims to compare preoperative and postoperative coronal plane knee alignment (CPAK) in patients undergoing bilateral TKA with SAIPH implants (MatOrtho, UK). The concept was to control the implant (same prosthesis both sides), patient (bilateral model) and assess what effect any surgical alteration in alignment had on patient's outcomes measured by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) and patient satisfaction.

Introduction: Supracondylar fractures in children often result in malunion and subsequent cubitus varus or valgus deformity. While often considered cosmetic, these deformities can lead to pain, functional impairment, and other complications. Corrective osteotomy is a common treatment option, with step-cut osteotomy being a preferred method due to its effectiveness and relative simplicity.
