Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common debilitating injury that can cause instability of the knee. We aimed to investigate best management strategy between reconstructive surgery and non-surgical treatment for patients with non-acute ACL persistent symptoms instability.We did pragmatic, multicentre, superiority, randomised controlled trial in 29 secondary care National Health Service orthopaedic units UK. Patients symptomatic knee problems (instability) consistent an were...
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked interest its integration into clinical medicine and education. This study evaluates the performance of three AI tools compared to human clinicians addressing complex orthopaedic decisions real-world cases.
Abstract Purpose The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, in clinical medicine and medical education has gained significant attention due to their potential support decision-making improve patient care. However, there is a need evaluate the benefits limitations these tools specific scenarios. Methods This study used case approach within field orthopaedic surgery. A report featuring 53-year-old male with femoral neck fracture was basis for evaluation. large...
Myxofibrosarcomas (MFS) are malignant soft tissue sarcomas with an infiltrative growth pattern and propensity for local recurrence(LR).We aimed to assess our management of MFS make recommendations about the role a multidisciplinary team approach margin widths.Fifty-seven patients were identified treated at single sarcoma centre between 1998 2020. Patients stratified based on whether they presented planned resection (59.6%) or after unplanned (40.4%) performed non-specialized facility. All...
Recognized anatomic variations that lead to patella instability include alta and trochlea dysplasia. Lateralization of the extensor mechanism relative is often considered be a contributing factor; however, controversy remains as degree this contributes how should measured. As tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) one most common imaging measurements assess lateralization mechanism, it important understand its strengths weaknesses. Care needs taken while interpreting TT-TG value affected...
We report a diagnosis of exogenous steroid-induced hypoadrenalism in person living with HIV caused by drug-drug interaction (DDI) between intrabursal triamcinolone and the pharmacokinetic booster cobicistat. A 53-year-old woman HIV, managed dolutegravir cobicistat-boosted darunavir, presented to orthopaedic clinic worsening hip pain. She was diagnosed greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) treated injection bupivacaine triamcinolone. Seven days following this injection, she Cushingoid...
It is standard practice for total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients to have post-operative imaging, and one of the reasons assess adequacy acetabular component position. Correct positioning important successful outcome in THA. Acetabular position can be measured from either computed tomography (CT) or plain radiographs. While CT gold accurately measuring position, radiographs are routinely used evaluation. However, measurement not straightforward numerous methods been proposed. As most imaging...
A previously healthy 44-year-old female presented with an acute history of increasing pain and reduced range movement in her left shoulder. MRI scan revealed infiltrative lesion the proximal humerus, a degree cortical thinning soft tissue involvement; however, initial biopsy provided no definitive diagnosis. Due to suspicion underlying malignancy, additional biopsies were organised. second diagnosis; third taken 2 months after presentation benign vascular callus formation. This was...
This paper describes an extensile surgical approach to the distal femur, which incorporates medial parapatellar arthrotomy. exposure serves as anterior utility knee, allowing surgeon access all aspects of knee and near circumferential femur. Reported indications for this region include: tumor resection, difficult primary arthroplasty revision intra-articular extra-articular fractures Despite adequate working knowledge standard is seldom required and, a result, orthopedic trainees practising...
Mortality rates following total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty display distinct temporal patterns, often attributed to patient selection bias, perioperative optimization, co-morbidities. Understanding these mortality patterns is essential for epidemiological health-economic longitudinal modeling.
Lesions affecting the ventral surface of scapula are rare but can be associated with significant mechanical symptoms, such a pseudowinging or snapping syndrome. Excision osteochondromas arising from this region challenging due to numerous muscle origins and attachments. Access bony may extensive muscular detachment soft tissue dissection. We describe novel open trapezius-sparing approach scapula.
Case: We report a rare case of desmoplastic fibroma (DF) the midshaft femur presenting as pathological fracture. This benign bone tumor was treated with an acute en bloc excision and femoral shortening over intramedullary nail. Once union had been achieved, further surgery undertaken to lengthen use Intramedullary Skeletal Kinetic Distractors. At 3 years after fracture, our patient achieved equal leg lengths, normal knee function, disease free. Conclusions: DF resulting in fracture is...
