Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how the position of the hinge and the height of the osteotomy gap affect the angles in the leg during a specific orthopedic procedure called medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (mowHTO).
- The research found that the medial proximal tibia angle (MPTA) is influenced by gap height when the hinge is lateral, while hinge rotation affects MPTA when the hinge is positioned more posteriorly.
- Ultimately, the study suggests that to avoid increasing the posterior tibial slope (PTS), a straight lateral hinge position should be used during the procedure.
Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare condition leading to low bone density and severe pain, often resulting from bone marrow edema and fractures in pregnant or lactating women.
- There is a noted connection between PLO and hereditary bone disorders that can complicate the condition and its severity.
- A study of three women with PLO and genetic variants showed no additional fractures during subsequent pregnancies when proper treatment and monitoring were implemented, contributing valuable insights for managing this condition.
