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.

Keng-Yi Lin M.D., et al. reported an original article named « Correlation of medial tibial slope and lateral tibial slope measured on radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1558 and aimed to investigate the correlation between medial tibial slope (MTS) and lateral tibial slope (LTS) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MTS measured by different imaging, and the intra- and interobserver reliability of measurements between reviewers with gaps of experience over 10 years. This original article concluded that average MTS and LTS measured on MRI in patients with ACL injury exhibited a moderate positive correlation. The average MTS measured on radiographs was significantly greater than that on MRI with a low positive correlation.

Yu Sun M.D., et al. reported a meta-analysis article named « Comparison of the efficacy and safety of unilateral and bilateral approach kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures » 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1701 and aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of unilateral versus bilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. This meta-analysis article concluded that unilateral PKP appears equally effective as bilateral PKP for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures but with advantages in terms of procedure time, cement use, and pain reduction.

Li-Ming Song M.D., et al. reported a meta-analysis article named « Comparison between CFR-PEEK and titanium plate for proximal humeral fracture» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1611 and aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) and titanium plate for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) from clinical comparative trials. This meta-analysis article concluded that compared to titanium plate, CFR-PEEK plate showed better Constant score, anterior elevation, lateral elevation and adduction in treating PHFs.

Giovanni Balato M.D., et al. reported an original article named « A comparison between 3D printed models and standard 2D planning in the use of metal block augments in revision knee arthroplasty» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1591 and aimed to predict the need and size of femoral and tibial augmentation using standard two-dimensional (2D) templates and models created with three-dimensional (3D) printing in surgical planning. This original article concluded that prediction based on 3D computed tomography segmentation showed significant agreement with the intraoperative need for augmentations in revision TKA. The results suggest that planning with 3D printed models represents a stronger aid in this kind of surgery rather than standard 2D planning, providing greater accuracy in the prediction of the required augmentation in revision TKA.

Tuğba Güler M.D., et al. reported a case report named «Radiation-induced lumbosacral plexopathy and pelvic insufficiency fracture: A case report of unique coexistence of complications after radiotherapy for prostate cancer» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1551 and presented a 78-year-old male with a history of radiotherapy for prostate cancer who developed right foot drop, severe lower back and right groin pain, difficulty in standing up and walking, and tingling in both legs over the past month during remission. This case report showed that it is important to consider the possibility of lumbosacral plexopathy in patients who present with new-onset neurological problems in the lower extremities. The diagnosis of pelvic insufficiency fractures should be considered if the pain does not correspond to the clinical findings of plexopathy. Both conditions have clinical significance as they can be mistaken for metastasis. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for guiding appropriate therapeutic management. While initial management may be straightforward, it is important to recognize that the management of these conditions can become multidisciplinary and complex and may even lead to challenging situations. Therefore, a holistic approach should be taken when evaluating patients to ensure comprehensive care.

Hande Usta Özdemir M.D., et al. reported a case report named «Electromyographic biofeedback training in a cerebral palsy patient undergoing pronator teres rerouting and brachioradialis to extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon transfer surgery: A case report» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.962 and presented a case in whom the outcomes of electromyographic biofeedback (EMG-BF) training were assessed after pronator teres rerouting and brachioradialis tendon to extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon transfer combined with derotation osteotomy. This case report showed valuable outcomes for the patient with CP who underwent pronator rerouting and brachioradialis to ECRB tendon transfer surgery combined with derotation osteotomy. Tonus regulation, the use of an audiovisual agent with appropriate technique, reinforced voluntary effort and muscular awareness, and active participation and motivation with supervised, regular, and prescribed follow-up enabled benefits to the patient’s postoperative outcomes. In parallel with the techniques developed in upper limb surgery in CP, further studies that investigate postoperative physical therapy and EMG-BF efficiency are warranted.
