Popliteal cysts (PCs) are occasionally accompanied by knee osteoarthritis (OA) and varus malalignment. However, whether concomitant arthroscopic excision of PCs with medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) improves the osteoarthritic environment remains unclear. Therefore, this study assessed serial changes in C-size, medial meniscus extrusion (MME), and cartilage status for up to 2 years following an MOWHTO.

Purpose: To compare the patient-reported outcome improvements and cartilage status of trochlear cartilage defects (TCDs) after additional arthroscopic microdrilling versus no treatment for TCDs during medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy(MOWHTO) METHODS: Patients who underwent MOWHTO with either microdrilling (Group M) or no treatment (Group N) for near full-thickness TCDs (International Cartilage Repair Society[ICRS] grade≥3B) from March 2010 to September 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, with a minimum 2-year follow-up. 1:1 Propensity score matched-Group N was created. Comparative analyses were conducted using patient-reported outcomes(PROs) and minimal clinically important difference (MCID).

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.
Expert-Based Narrative Review on Compression UltraSonography (CUS) for Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT).

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a pathological condition that develops when a thrombus forms within the deep venous system. Typically, it involves the lower limbs and, less frequently, the upper extremities or other unusual districts such as cerebral or splanchnic veins. While leg DVT itself is rarely fatal and occasionally can lead to limb-threatening implications, its most fearsome complication, namely pulmonary embolism, is potentially fatal and significantly contributes to increased healthcare costs and impaired quality of life in affected patients and caregivers.

Background: To characterize the retreatment course of patients with thyroid eye disease (TED), who had reactivation after initial therapy with teprotumumab.
Methods: This was a single-center longitudinal cohort study of patients who received an initial course of teprotumumab for active TED and were followed for at least 6 months. Reactivation was defined as the increase of proptosis of 2 mm or more or an increase in Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of two points or more, as adapted from the Optic-X study.
