Article Abstract
Fixed flexion deformities (FFDs) present several unique challenges in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and require careful consideration to achieve optimal outcomes. FFD alters normal knee biomechanics and increases energy expenditure. They may be attributed to both bony deformities and fibrosed soft tissues, which must be addressed in stepwise fashion at the time of surgery. A literature review was conducted utilizing keywords "fixed flexion deformity TKA." This review article aims to discuss the anatomy and pathology, preoperative evaluation, classification system, surgical techniques for addressing deformity, implant selection considerations, postoperative protocols, clinical outcomes, and potential complications associated with correcting FFD. By comprehensively addressing these aspects, surgeons can optimize surgical planning and improve outcomes in patients with FFD undergoing TKA.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of reduced spinopelvic mobility (SM) on knee flexion deformity (KFD) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: A retrospective analysis on 213 patients (271 knees) undergoing robotic-assisted primary TKA was conducted. Sagittal spinopelvic alignment (SSA) parameters-sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), and pelvic tilt (PT)-were measured on lateral standing and sitting spinopelvic radiographs.

Management of class III malocclusion in patients with cleft is geared toward improving the maxillary position with maxillary protraction therapy with or without bone anchorage. This study aims at evaluating the effects of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) and tooth-anchored maxillary protraction (TAMP) appliances in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP).

Humans order numerosity along a left-to-right mental number line (MNL), traditionally considered culturally rooted. Yet, some species at birth show spatial-numerical associations (SNA), suggesting neural origins. Various accounts link SNA to brain lateralization but lack evidence.

Study Design: Narrative review.
Objective: To synthesize current knowledge on radiographic parameters, classification systems, and compensatory mechanisms essential to the diagnosis and surgical planning of cervical spine deformity (CD) correction.
Summary Of Background Data: CD encompasses a heterogeneous set of conditions associated with neurological impairment and impaired health-related quality of life.
Purpose: This study aims to validate the usefulness of T10-pelvic angle (T10PA) in predicting pelvic tilt (PT) restoration, proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) development, and clinical outcomes after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study included 213 ASD patients who underwent fusion from the lower thoracic spine (T9 or T10) to the pelvis. T10PA was measured on 6-week postoperative radiographs as the angle between the center of T10 and the hip center, and from the hip center to the midpoint of the S1 upper endplate.
