Based on 262 radiographic examinations done during two years the authors have analyzed the compatibility of the radiographic image with the clinical examinations and with the operation results. In the analysis the most frequently occurring lesion level having the character of hernia of the nucleus pulposus, age, sex, and the duration of the disease symptoms were taken into account. The effectiveness of the method, which was verified by surgery was 86.3%. The result is in good agreement with literature data. Therefore, the method can be still recommended, particularly for the x-ray laboratories, which have no possibility to apply non-invasive techniques.

Long-term Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With 3 Different Surgical Techniques: A Prospective Randomized Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation at a Minimum of 20 Years' Follow-up.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
Clinica Ortopedica e Traumatologica II, Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Bologna, Italy.
Background: In recent years, lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has been shown to be promising in reducing the graft failure rate at short-term follow-up. However, there is a lack of studies investigating the incidence of complications and lateral osteoarthritis (OA) after this procedure, and only a few studies have reported long-term results after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to compare the failure rate, clinical outcomes, and OA incidence of 3 different ACL reconstruction techniques: single-bundle quadrupled hamstring tendon (HT), bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB), and over-the-top HT plus LET (HT + LET).
The clinical frailty scale is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis in elderly patients with trimalleolar ankle fractures - a retrospective study.

Department of Orthopedics, Pidu District People's Hospital, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College, Chengdu, 611730, China.
Background: The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool to assess the overall health of older adults. There are few reports of CFS and prognosis of ankle fracture. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive power of the CFS for adverse clinical and radiographic outcomes after surgery in elderly patients with trimalleolar fractures.
