Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase (WRS) as a diagnostic tool for septic arthritis of the knee, comparing its effectiveness to other biomarkers in distinguishing it from other forms of arthritis.* -
- A total of 62 patients with various arthritis types were analyzed, revealing that those with septic arthritis had significantly higher levels of WRS and other inflammatory markers, with WRS showing a high specificity (87.5%) and sensitivity (83.3%).* -
- The findings suggest WRS in synovial fluid could serve as a reliable biomarker for diagnosing septic arthritis, marking the need for further testing in separate patient groups.*

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is the most commonly used minimally invasive surgery technique for tibial fractures, possibly involving single or dual plate methods. Herein, we performed a finite element analysis to investigate plate strength according to the plate type, length, and presence of a fibula by constructing a three-dimensional tibia model. A thickness of 20 mm was cut 50 mm distal from the lateral plateau, and the ligaments were created.
