The acromion in supraspinatus outlet and Rockwood caudal tilt views from three-dimensional computed tomography scan of the shoulder
ConclusionThe classification of acromion morphology under Three-dimensional computed tomography in the supraspinatus outlet view has poor reliability. The Rockwood caudal tilt view model results in moderate-to-almost-perfect reliability that can be developed to the plain radiographic classification to determine the need for acromioplasty in rotator cuff surgery.

Varus kinematics at knee flexion affect clinical outcomes of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: Intraoperative navigation-based kinematics evaluation
ConclusionVarus at 0° knee flexion and axial rotational alignment did not affect the clinical outcomes of UKA. Patient reported outcomes was better for the neutral knees with less varus at 90° knee flexion than for varus knees.

Early chondral damage following meniscus repairs with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
ConclusionThe progression of post-traumatic chondral damage may occur at a faster rate in patients who require ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair than in patients with intact menisci. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology)

Evaluation of the intraoperative kinematics during double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a navigation system
ConclusionThe AM and PL bundles function differently for controlling anterior knee laxity throughout the range of motion. The function of the AM and PL bundles was similar for controlling isolated tibiofemoral rotation. Isolated tibiofemoral rotation was significantly controlled only on double-bundle reconstruction at knee flexion angles of 20° and 25°.

Effect of an orthosis on foot center of pressure translation for treatment of hallux valgus in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A report of 17 cases
ConclusionsThe results indicated that the orthosis for HV improved the walking path and should be considered as a therapeutic option in nonpharmacological treatment of RA. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology)

High tibial osteotomy solely for the purpose of return to lifelong sporting activities among elderly patients: A case series study
We examined a case series of 9 KOA patients (12 knees) aged 50 or above with a desire for RTS, who underwent HTO. We assessed patients before surgery and 2 years after surgery to evaluate surgical outcomes and RTS. The results revealed that patients’ average Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was significantly improved at 2 years after surgery (97.5 ± 4.5), compared with the preoperative score (87.9 ± 7.2; p = 0.008). In addition, the average Tegner activity level score was significantly improved at 2-year follow-up (5.8 ± 1.1) compared with the preoperative score (2.8 ± 1.1; p < 0.001...

Stress fractures of the lateral tibial plateau after open wedge high tibial osteotomy could be delayed type III lateral hinge fractures
ConclusionThese results indicated the possibility of stress fracture in LTP during weight-bearing exercise after OWHTO, which was regarded as a delayed type III fracture. The results showed that Correction angle was more than 13 degrees, and lateral hinge fracture type II of the Takeuchi classification was an inducement of this stress fracture.Level of evidenceLevel IV.

Benefit of subcutaneous patient controlled analgesia after total knee arthroplasty
ConclusionThese findings demonstrate that subcutaneous PCA would be a safe postoperative pain regimen for TKA patients, but the effect was not enough to promote early functional recovery.Levels of evidenceTherapeutic, Level Ⅱ.

Sequential analysis of three-dimensional tibiofemoral relationship through anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with gravity-assisted radiographic technique in prone position
ConclusionsAnatomic ACL reconstruction could restore not only the normal anterior knee laxity, but also the normal tibiofemoral relationship even under an anterior tibial load. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology)

The effects of toe direction on three-dimensional knee kinematics during closed kinetic chain exercise in patients with anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee
ConclusionFrom the present results, tibial rotation and knee abduction were strongly affected by toe direction. When considering a safe rehabilitation, it would be better to avoid TI and TO in CKC Ex in patients with unilateral ACL injury.

Changes in calcaneal pitch and heel fat pad thickness in static weight bearing radiographs while wearing shoes with arch support and heel cup orthotics
ConclusionUnder static weightbearing conditions, the arch support and heel cup features of a foot orthosis help improve the height of the calcaneal pitch and the thickness of the heel fat pad, respectively.

Suprapatellar plica classification and suprapatellar plica syndrome
ConclusionsAlthough the results did not show any relationship between forms of plica remnants and primary disease type, all patients diagnosed with suprapatellar plica syndrome showed complete septum type suprapatellar plicae. A large population study is required in the future. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology)

Middle-to long-term outcome after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with Insall’s proximal realignment for patellar instability
ConclusionMiddle- to long-term outcome after MPFL reconstruction with Insall’s proximal realignment at our institution was evaluated, and good clinical results were observed. Most patients who did not have a severe cartilage lesion preoperatively did not develop osteoarthritic change.
