Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to identify associations between dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM), functional hop test performance, and hopping biomechanics with the magnitude of talar cartilage deformation after a standardized hopping protocol in individuals with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Methods: Thirty CAI and 30 healthy individuals participated. Ankle DFROM was assessed using the weight-bearing lunge test. Four different functional hop tests were assessed. Three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were sampled during a 60-cm single-leg hop. We calculated cartilage deformation after a dynamic loading protocol consisting of sixty 60-cm single-leg forward hops by assessing the change in average thickness for the overall, medial, and lateral talar cartilage. Linear regressions examined the associations between cartilage deformation magnitude and DFROM, functional hop tests, and hop biomechanical variables after accounting for body weight and time since the initial ankle sprain.
Results: In CAI group, lesser static DFROM (ΔR2 = 0.22) and smaller peak ankle dorsiflexion angle (ΔR2 = 0.17) was associated with greater medial deformation. Greater peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) (ΔR2 = 0.26-0.28) was associated with greater medial and overall deformation. Greater vGRF loading rate (ΔR2 = 0.23-0.35) was associated with greater lateral and overall deformation. Greater side hop test times (ΔR2 = 0.31-0.36) and ankle plantarflexion at initial contact (ΔR2 = 0.23-0.38) were associated with greater medial, lateral, and overall deformation. In the control group, lesser side hop test times (ΔR2 = 0.14), greater crossover hop distances (ΔR2 = 0.14), and greater single-hop distances (ΔR2 = 0.21) were associated with greater overall deformation.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that lesser static DFROM, poorer functional hop test performance, and hop biomechanics associate with greater talar cartilage deformation after a dynamic loading protocol in those with CAI. These factors may represent targets for therapeutic interventions within this population to slow ankle posttraumatic osteoarthritis progression.

Background: Osteoporotic osteoarthritis (OPOA), a distinct subtype of osteoarthritis (OA), has imposed a significant health and economic burden worldwide. However, mechanistic studies and therapeutic strategies for this disease remain in the exploratory stage.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the specific molecular mechanisms by which osteoporosis (OP) exacerbates OA progression through accelerated subchondral bone (SB) sclerosis and the potential of Jiawei Yanghe Decoction (JWYHD) in treating OPOA.

Background: Congenital accessory auricle is a common aurcile malformation, often associated with tragus malformation, impacting the appearance and psychology of patients. To optimize surgical treatments for congenital accessory auricle with tragus malformation, this article proposes a novel classification and explores surgical strategies.
Methods: This retrospective study included 120 patients with congenital accessory auricle and tragus malformation who underwent surgery between December 2019 and June 2024.

Background: The insertion of implants and tip plasties has been performed in Asian patients for an attractive and higher nasal profile, which can result in diverse tip deformations such as notching, pinching, alar retraction, incompetent external valve, deviated tip, cephalic rotation, and lateral crus malposition due to inappropriate manipulation of the lower lateral cartilage and/or silicone capsular contracture. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and utility of applying lateral crural strut graft (LCSG) as a consistent and appropriate surgical method to correct various nasal tip deformities that occur as complications following rhinoplasty in Asian patients.
Methods: We prospectively studied 37 patients with a minimum follow-up of 12 months among 53 patients who underwent secondary rhinoplasty, including LCSG, between January 2016 and December 2020.
