Statistical shape modeling of mean shape and principal variability of the human talar bone in the Chinese population
CONCLUSIONS: SSM is an effective method of finding mean shape and principal variability. Considerable variabilities were noticed among these three groups and all principal modes of variation. No dominant talar model was found to represent the majority of tali, regardless the gender. Such information is crucial to improve the current understanding of talar pathologies and their treatment strategies.PMID:37822123 | DOI:10.1177/10225536231206534 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)

Functional and radiological outcome of non-operative treated clavicle fractures and its association with acromioclavicular joint arthrosis
CONCLUSION: There is an equal distribution poor, satisfactory and excellent functional outcomes in patients with midshaft clavicle fractures treated non-operatively. The poor outcomes may be attributed to ACJ arthrosis. Hand dominance, smoking and blue-collar work affected the functional outcome. Shortening of the clavicle had no bearing on the clinical and radiological findings of osteoarthritis and functional scores. The presence of two or more positive special tests is an accurate predictor of AC joint arthritis.PMID:37824849 | DOI:10.1177/10225536231208242 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)

The clinical results of bi-cruciate vs posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty for flexion contracture in osteoarthritic knee
In this study, we investigated the effect of bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS)-type total knee arthroplasty (TKA) as compared to posterior stabilized (PS)-type TKA on osteoarthritic primary knees with flexion contractures.METHODS: 59 TKAs from January 2014 to December 2020, of which 30 were PS-type TKAs (NexGen LPS-flexⓇ; 76.3 years, BMI 27.5) and 29 BCS-type TKAs (Journey IIⓇ; 72.5 years, BMI 28.6), were performed for knee osteoarthritis with preoperative flexion contracture of 15° or greater. Full extension was obtained intraoperatively during all TKAs. Clinical outcomes, radiological evaluations, and the amount of addit...

Evaluation of the osteoconductivity and the degradation of novel hydroxyapatite/polyurethane combined with mesoporous silica microspheres in a rabbit osteomyelitis model
J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong). 2023 Sep-Dec;31(3):10225536231206921. doi: 10.1177/10225536231206921.ABSTRACTBone defects caused by osteomyelitis can lead to severe disability. Surgeons still face significant challenges in treating bone defects. Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) plays an important role in bone tissue engineering due to its excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. Levofloxacin (Levo) was encapsulated in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) via electrostatic attraction to serve as a drug delivery system. MSNs were incorporated with n-HA and polyurethane (PU). The degradation and osteoconductivity properties o...

Preoperative degree of deformity and underlying disease affect the postoperative deformity of joint-preserving hallux valgus surgery
CONCLUSIONS: High preoperative HVA was a risk factor for the recurrence of valgus deformity. Most of the varus deformities were observed in the RA group with high preoperative HVA; therefore, caution should be exercised in operating on patients with severe deformity or those with RA.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.PMID:37807826 | DOI:10.1177/10225536231206536 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)

Prescription analgesic medication use among osteoarthritis patients
CONCLUSION: The use of gabapentinoid increased rapidly from recent decade, while opioids use did not decrease. The long-term excessive use of opioids was also a serious problem for OA pain control. More improvements such as focusing more on healthcare education and paying more attention on non-pharmacotherapy and the psychological situation of patients are needed.PMID:37724650 | DOI:10.1177/10225536231202835 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)

Heat treatment for giant cell tumors of bone: A systematic review
J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong). 2023 Sep-Dec;31(3):10225536231202157. doi: 10.1177/10225536231202157.ABSTRACTThis systematic review evaluates the effects of heat treatments in de novo, residual and recurrent giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB). Studies were eligible for inclusion if one of the following treatments was administered: radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation, argon cauterization, electrocauterization and hot liquid treatment. The primary outcome was recurrence. Secondary outcomes were complications, pain, function, and quality of life. Recurrence rates for microwave ablation as an adjuvant to intralesional c...
