Article Abstract
Objectives: The primary problem in simultaneous bilateral auricle reconstruction is the fragility of the reconstructed ear structure. Postoperative pressure is strictly prohibited to ensure the operation's effectiveness. The study aimed to summarize the experience of perioperative postural management in simultaneous bilateral auricular reconstruction.
Method: This study summarizes the experience of perioperative postural management, providing preoperative sleeping posture adaptability training, neck movement training, standardization of the head position angles and the head suspension time in surgery, using protective headrests, paying attention to the transfer and handover procedures, and using specially designed pillows.
Results: The comprehensive nursing approach in simultaneous bilateral auricular reconstruction significantly reduced complications, improved patient comfort, and optimized postoperative adaptation. Preoperative posture training, standardized intraoperative head positions, and vigilant postoperative care played pivotal roles, demonstrating positive outcomes in 46 cases.
Discussion: Perioperative position management can reduce the risk of complications and pressure injuries, improving patients' postoperative comfort, emotional state, tolerance, and adaptability.
Conclusion: All ears were viable and in good shape after long-term follow-up. The experiences discussed in this study can be broadly applied to technically mature ear reconstruction teams.

Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS), also referred to as Dandy-Walker malformation, is a rare congenital developmental anomaly characterized by enlargement of the posterior fossa, dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and cerebellar hypoplasia with upward rotation. Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in children and typically presents in the pediatric age group, with leukocoria and strabismus being common early signs. Although DWS and retinoblastoma are individually rare, their simultaneous occurrence is exceptionally uncommon.

Background: Multi-canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (MC-BPPV) is a rare form of BPPV characterized by the simultaneous involvement of multiple semicircular canals, often resulting in complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While MC-BPPV most commonly affects the posterior and horizontal semicircular canals, tri-canal involvement - especially with bilateral asymmetry - is exceedingly rare.
Purpose: To describe a unique case of tri-canal BPPV involving right posterior and horizontal semicircular cupulolithiasis and left horizontal semicircular canalolithiasis, successfully managed with a structured, sequential protocol of repositioning maneuvers including a novel Bascule maneuver.

: Postmenopausal conditions can lead to metabolic disorders such as obesity and steatosis. (PT), a prominent traditional Chinese medicine, exerts potential therapeutic effects against hepatic injury. Nevertheless, the extent to which PT ameliorates liver damage resulting from estrogen deficiency, along with the associated mechanisms, remains poorly understood.

Purpose: The posterior tibial slope (PTS) plays a key role in knee biomechanics and may influence the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture as well as the outcomes of its reconstruction. We hypothesised that a steeper medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) would be associated with an increased risk of bilateral ACL reconstruction compared to unilateral reconstruction. This study aimed to test this hypothesis by comparing the MPTS between patients undergoing unilateral ACL reconstruction (uniACLR) and those requiring non-simultaneous bilateral ACL reconstruction (biACLR), using radiographic imaging.

Background: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), particularly in Western populations. However, the effect of severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 35 kg/m) on postoperative complications in Japanese patients remains unclear.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using Japan's Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) database, including patients who underwent TKA or UKA between April 2016 and March 2023.
