Fırat Emin Özdemir M.D. et al. reported an original article named «Does extreme weight loss after bariatric surgery alter spinopelvic parameters and ameliorate back pain? A retrospective case study» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1683 and aimed to evaluate the effect of extreme weight loss on low back pain and spinopelvic parameters. This original article concluded that weight loss after bariatric surgery improves lower back pain leading to changes in PT without affecting SS and altering PI.

Alper Tabanli M.D. and Toygun Kağan Eren M.D. reported an original article named «Comparison of fusion, arthroplasty and hybrid surgery outcomes in patients with two-level cervical disc disease» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1663 and aimed to explore the management of two-level cervical disc disease and to compare outcomes of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA), and hybrid surgery (HS). This original article concluded that all three surgical techniques, ACDF, CDA, and HS, are safe and successful in the treatment of two-level cervical disc disease. However, HS and CDA may be more preferable over ACDF attributed to their motion-preserving benefits and effectively combining fusion and motion preservation techniques, with comparable clinical and radiological outcomes.

Selim Safali M.D., et al. reported a review article named «Free vascularized medial femoral condyle periosteal flaps in the ankle and foot region: A narrative review» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1730 and aimed to determine the role and reliability of the free medial femoral condyle (MFC) flap (MFCF) in demanding foot and ankle reconstruction procedures. This review article concluded that free MFCFs offer a versatile and dependable choice for cases of foot and ankle reconstruction, displaying favorable rates of bone fusion and acceptable complication rates.

Lu Zou M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Application of combined anesthesia with spontaneous breathing in the surgery of intertrochanteric fracture of femur in elderly patients» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1571 and aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of combined anesthesia with spontaneous breathing in the operation of intertrochanteric fracture of femur in the elderly. This original article concluded that combined anesthesia preserving spontaneous breathing is safe and feasible in the operation of intertrochanteric fracture of femur in the elderly, with faster anesthesia recovery than the mechanical ventilation group.

Fangfang Shi M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Correlations of spinopelvic parameters with quality of life of patients with adult degenerative scoliosis after posterior correction» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.891 and aimed to investigate the correlations of spinopelvic parameters with the quality of life of patients with adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) after posterior correction, and their relationships with efficacy. This original article concluded that the SVA, LL, PT, and PI-LL were independent predictors of improvement in ODI after operation for ADS. The postoperative changes in spinopelvic parameters affected the clinical outcomes in patients with ADS.

Naoko Araya M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Risk factors for delayed bone union in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1636 and aimed to investigate the relationship between patient demographics and potential intraoperative factors and delayed bone union in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). This original article concluded that smoking, large opening gap width, and anterior plate placement are risk factors for delayed bone union after OWHTO. Surgeons should avoid anterior placement of the plate and carefully consider other options for smokers and those who require a large correction.

Yunpeng Zhang M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Establishment of a predictive model for blood transfusion after femoral head replacement in elderly patients» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1786 and aimed to establish a nomogram predictive model for blood transfusion after artificial femoral head replacement surgery in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. This original article concluded that nomogram prediction model that effectively assesses the risk of blood transfusion in elderly patients undergoing femoral head replacement for intertrochanteric femoral fractures was established in this study. This model demonstrated high predictive accuracy and consistency, providing a valuable tool for clinicians to identify high-risk patients and implement early interventions to reduce the need for postoperative blood transfusions.

Xiao-yang Liu M.D., et al. reported an original article named « Effects of preoperative valgus deformity in patients undergoing neutrally aligned total knee arthroplasty: A retrospective cohort study with a minimum five-year follow-up» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1800 and aimed to investigate the relationship between the severity of preoperative valgus deformity and clinical outcomes of neutrally aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This original article concluded that the severity of preoperative valgus deformity did not affect the clinical outcomes of neutrally aligned TKAs in the minimum five-year follow-up. Additionally, it did not impact the survival rates of neutrally aligned TKAs over 10 years.

Chunming Si M.D., et al. reported an original article named « Efficacy of 3D printing-assisted treatment for acetabular fractures» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1756 and aimed to investigate the efficacy of three-dimensional (3D) printing-assisted treatment for acetabular fractures (AFs) and to compare with conventional surgical methods. This original article concluded that compared to conventional surgical treatment, preoperative 3D printing-assisted treatment for adult patients with AFs can significantly reduce surgical duration, intraoperative bleeding loss and frequency of intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy, reducing surgical difficulty and improving surgical safety.

Fa-Xue Liao M.D., et al. reported an original article named « Estrogen receptor is involved in the osteoarthritis mediated by ATG16L1-NLRP3 activation» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1247 and aimed to explore the mechanisms of dual regulation of osteoarthritis (OA) progression by the involvement of estrogen receptor (ER) in autophagy and inflammation. This original article concluded that ATG16L1, NLRP3, and IL-1β interacted closely and ERβ was involved in OA process by affecting autophagy and inflammatory activation.
