Considerations in Charcot Reconstruction

Luke J. McCann, Joseph D. Dickinson

Summary: The authors emphasize the importance of aggressive treatment for Charcot foot, which not only helps control deformities but also improves patients' quality and length of life. They suggest that Charcot reconstruction surgery is a logical choice to delay mortality, considering the known risks associated with limb amputation. Charcot foot is a challenging condition that requires the application of basic surgical principles and a team approach for successful management.

Quality of life in lumbar spinal stenosis: Does it correlate with magnetic resonance imaging and spinopelvic parameters?

Frank Beyer, Tobias Prasse, Peer Eysel, Jan Bredow

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between quality of life (QoL) assessments of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients and radiographic spinopelvic parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements. The results showed that the severity of LSS-related disability according to QoL questionnaires could not be quantified by any measured MRI or spinopelvic parameter. There was also no correlation between the MRI and spinopelvic parameters. Therefore, treatment recommendations for symptomatic LSS should not be based solely on radiological data.

Alterations of postural control across the menstrual cycle - A systematic review

Carina Pohle, Linda Becker, Jochen Baumeister

Summary: This systematic review is the first to compile evidence on the effect of the menstrual cycle on postural control. The evidence regarding the influence of the menstrual cycle on postural control is unclear. However, a trend of decreased postural control from the early follicular phase to the ovulatory phase was observed in balance tasks that eliminated or altered sensory input.

Functionally graded 3D printed plates for rib fracture fixation

Richa Gupta, Lauren Judkins, Chet S. Friday, Joseph B. Ulsh, Stephen J. Kovach III, Samir Mehta, Charles Tomonto, Guha Manogharan, Michael W. Hast

Summary: The study compared novel additively manufactured rib implants with a clinically used Control implant, finding that the novel implants had better construct stiffness and rotational performance than the control group, with all implants failing via bone fracture in the end.

Effectiveness of a multicomponent rehabilitation protocol on outcomes following post-acute care

Mitchel A. Magrini, Rashelle Hoffman, Taylor Barnett, Jennifer Bruursema, Jacob Siedlik

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effect of a multicomponent rehabilitation protocol on functional outcomes in a post-acute care facility. The results showed that the protocol was able to improve clinical mobility and balance outcomes, such as gait speed, balance scores, and sit-to-stand velocity, in medically complex older patients.

Changes in in vivo three dimensional shoulder kinematics following latissimus dorsi tendon transfer for irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears: A systematic review with meta-analysis

Vitor La Banca, Joao Artur Bonadiman, Felipe Fernandes Gonzalez, Jonathan Adam Gustafson, Gustavo Leporace, Grant E. Garrigues, Jorge Chahla, Leonardo Metsavaht

Summary: Background: Latissimus dorsi transfer is a surgical procedure that can be used for treating posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. However, there is still no consensus on the biomechanical changes resulting from latissimus dorsi transfer. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature on 3D motion analysis studies evaluating the effects of latissimus dorsi transfer on shoulder kinematics. Findings: Our meta-analysis revealed a significant improvement in forward flexion and abduction following latissimus dorsi transfer. When comparing the latissimus transferred shoulder with an uninjured contralateral side, the meta-analysis found no significant difference in flexion range of motion, while abduction and external rotation were significantly higher in the uninjured shoulders.

Advancements in the diagnosis and management of rotator cuff tears. The role of artificial intelligence

Ausberto Velasquez Garcia, Kai-Lan Hsu, Katina Marinakis

Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in the diagnosis and management of rotator cuff tears (RCTs), enabling faster and more precise identification and assessment. It aids in personalized treatment planning, exercise classification, and patient adherence. Challenges in data quality and symptom integration persist, requiring further research to refine AI algorithms and explore their applications in postoperative care and surgical decision-making.

The Lapidus Bunionectomy Revolution Current Concepts and Considerations

Christy M. King, Francesca M. Castellucci-Garza

Summary: For centuries, the HV deformity has been a problem for the human foot. Despite numerous bunionectomy procedures and fixation options, there is no perfect solution. Surgeons should address each patient's deformity in all three planes and choose a technique they are comfortable with to ensure successful reduction and stabilization with minimal complications. Early weight-bearing protocols are supported in the literature but can be personalized based on surgeon preference and patient characteristics.
