Precise assessment of spinal instability is critical before and after radiotherapy (RT) for evaluating the effectiveness of RT. Therefore, we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of RT in spinal instability over a period of 6 months after RT, utilizing the spinal instability neoplastic score (SINS) in patients with painful spinal metastasis. We retrospectively evaluated 108 patients who received RT for painful vertebral metastasis in our institution. Mechanical pain at metastatic vertebrae, radiological responses of irradiated vertebrae, and spinal instability were assessed...

Malalignment of the lower limb, distal tibia, foot, and hindfoot can all contribute to altered biomechanics in the ankle joint, resulting in increased focal pressure. The development of some osteochondral lesions of the ankle joint may share a similar pathophysiology, where eccentric loading to the talus or tibia within the ankle joint can lead to cartilage injury or adaptive changes. While the association between malalignment and the development of osteochondral lesions of the ankle joint may seem intuitive, the impact of realignment procedures on these lesions and patient symptoms remains a relatively underexplored topic in the literature...

BACKGROUND: Up to 30% of patients with a tibial shaft fracture sustain iatrogenic rotational malalignment (RM) after infrapatellar (IP) nailing. Although IP nailing remains the management of choice for most patients, suprapatellar (SP) nailing has been gaining popularity. It is currently unknown whether SP nailing can provide superior outcomes with regard to tibial RM. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in the prevalence of RM following IP versus SP nailing. METHODS: This retrospective study included 253 patients with a unilateral, closed tibial shaft fracture treated with either an IP or SP approach between January 2009 and April 2023 in a Level-I trauma center...

INTRODUCTION: Robotic-arm-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an excellent solution for patients suffering from single-compartment knee arthritis. While outcomes tend to be favorable for UKAs, revision operations, commonly due to component malpositioning and malalignment resulting in accelerated wear, are a major concern. Intraoperative technologies, such as robotic assistance, can help better ensure that implants are positioned based on a patient's specific anatomy and mechanical physiology...

Newer intramedullary (IM) nails have become another option in the fixation of proximal tibia fractures. There is limited data on the successful use of these implants in intra-articular and extra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia, and no studies assessing the ability of these implants to maintain alignment with early weight bearing. Our objective was to determine whether immediate weight bearing after IM fixation, with or without supplemental plate or screw fixation, of proximal third tibial fractures (OTA/AO 41A-C) results in a change in alignment prior to union...

REVIEW

In subjects with scoliotic alterations of the spine, asymmetrical lengths of the lower limbs are frequently observed, a condition commonly referred to as leg length inequality (LLI) or discrepancy (LLD). This asymmetry can induce pelvic misalignments, manifested by an asymmetric height of the iliac crests, and consequently an alteration of the spine's axis. Although correcting this discrepancy might appear to be a straightforward solution, further investigation may reveal other indications. The purpose of this article is to aid clinicians confronted with the decision of whether to compensate for an LLI in individuals with scoliosis, encompassing both adolescents and adults...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a common clinical entity among people involved in contact sports activities. With the number of primary ACL reconstructions increasing, there has been a proportional increase in the revision of failed ACL reconstruction surgeries. As our understanding of knee kinematics improves over time, there has been evidence that alignment of the lower limb weight-bearing axis also plays an important part in ACL functioning. Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is one such procedure that has been used extensively worldwide to correct the varus lower limb alignment...

INTRODUCTION: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a complex surgical procedure that traditionally relies on two-dimensional radiographs for pre-operative planning. These radiographs may not capture the intricate details of individual knee anatomy, potentially limiting the precision of surgical interventions. With advancements in imaging technology, there is an opportunity to refine TKA outcomes. This study introduces the Native Alignment Phenotype classification system that is based on pre-operative 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) scans, aiming to provide a more detailed understanding of knee deformities and their influence on characterizing knee osteoarthritis and planning for TKA procedures...
