Intraoperative Navigation, 3D Printed Prostheses, and Conventional Techniques in Femoral and Tibial Tumor Resections: A Systematic Review.

Technological advancements in orthopaedic oncology continue to augment our approach to surgical interventions. However, the impact on patient outcomes following lower extremity bone tumor resections remains under-characterized. This systematic review identifies the impact of various technological advancements on post-operative outcomes.

The Impact of Verbal Status on Postoperative Outcomes Following Proximal Femur Varus Derotational Osteotomy in Children With Cerebral Palsy.

Background: In addition to physical disabilities, children with cerebral palsy (CP) often have concomitant nonphysical disabilities and associated medical comorbidities. Verbal disabilities are common and can affect both independence and communication, particularly in hospital settings, potentially impacting surgical outcomes. This study evaluates how verbal status affects postoperative outcomes of proximal femur varus derotational osteotomy (VDRO).

Regional Gene Therapy for Bone Tissue Engineering: A Current Concepts Review.

The management of segmental bone defects presents a complex reconstruction challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Current treatment options are limited by efficacy across the spectrum of injury, morbidity, and cost. Regional gene therapy is a promising tissue engineering strategy for bone repair, as it allows for local implantation of nucleic acids or genetically modified cells to direct specific protein expression.

Feminization of the Forehead: A Scoping Literature Review and Cohort Study of Transfeminine Patients.

Background: Facial feminization may be performed to alleviate gender dysphoria among transfeminine patients. The upper third of the face has several characteristics, including hairline shape and position, brow position, and forehead protrusion, that may confer feminine identity. The purpose of this study is to conduct a scoping literature review of techniques performed for forehead feminization and to additionally study clinical outcomes within an institutional cohort.
