Article Abstract

Corrective osteotomy for a malunited distal radial fracture (DRF) can be challenging. Three-dimensional printing techniques can be used to produce patient specific implants (PSIs). Theoretically, this technique improves accuracy of reconstruction and therefore patient-related outcomes. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to compare pre- and postoperative patient-rated functional and radiological outcomes following corrective osteotomy of 47 malunited DRFs with PSIs. The primary outcome was the difference in Patient-Rated Wrist Hand Evaluation score (PRWHE). The median PRWHE improved from 68 (IQR: 60 to 77) to 17 (IQR: 7 to 30) after a median follow-up of 15 months in 32 patients. The mean preoperative dorsal tilt of -15° (SD: -8), improved to 7° (SD: 7) palmar tilt postoperatively in 46 patients. Preoperatively, 28 patients exhibited radiocarpal malalignment, which decreased to five postoperatively. Corrective osteotomy of a malunited DRF with a PSI can lead to improved PRWHE, range of motion and radiological outcomes. IV.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes, complications and procedure survival in patients with posttraumatic tibial plateau deformities treated with unicondylar intra-articular tibial plateau osteotomy (UIATPO), comparing medial and lateral approaches.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on all patients with posttraumatic intra-articular tibial plateau deformities who underwent surgical correction at a single centre between 2016 and 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. Patient characteristics, radiological correction, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Lysholm and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), and complications were recorded.

Robotic-Assisted Versus Manual Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed for Hip Dysplasia.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

September 2025

From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY (Neitzke, O'Donnell, Buchalter, Chandi, Westrich, and Gausden), the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI (O'Donnell), and Somers Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Group

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) poses challenges for component positioning during total hip arthroplasty (THA) secondary to abnormal bone morphology, soft-tissue contractures, and hip center migration. The objective of this study was to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of THA for DDH performed with robotic assistance versus manual (M) technique.

Methods: A retrospective review identified 115 patients with Crowe II to IV dysplasia undergoing primary THA at a single institution from 2016 to 2022.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of standard postoperative radiographs for identifying mild tibial torsional malalignment (≤ 10°) following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in dogs.

Methods: Cadaveric hind limbs from medium- to large-breed dogs without radiographic evidence of stifle pathology were used in this ex vivo experimental study. Each limb underwent TPLO, and a custom 3-D-printed guide was used to induce tibial torsion at 0°, 5°, and 10° in internal and external directions.

Objective: The objective of this study was to introduce and evaluate foraminoplastic inferior pedicle subtraction osteotomy (FiPSO), a novel technique that involves downward resection of the pedicle and vertebral body, aimed at addressing rigid lower lumbar kyphosis.

Methods: The clinical records were reviewed of the patients who underwent corrective surgery from January 2012 through December 2021 for adult spinal deformity using a combination of procedures: pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) at the lumbar level and spinopelvic fixation. Inclusion criteria included patients older than 40 years with sagittal imbalance symptoms and significant radiographic findings: sagittal vertical axis (SVA) > 50 mm, pelvic tilt (PT) > 25°, or pelvic incidence (PI) minus lumbar lordosis (LL) > 10°.

Case: A 12-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1 presented with progressive thoracic scoliosis and neurological deficit. Imaging revealed a dystrophic curve, dorsal syrinx, and tethering of the cord by a plexiform neurofibroma arising from the T7 dorsal ramus. She underwent staged surgery: detethering through T6-T8 laminectomy, followed by posterior spinal deformity correction with Schwab type 2 osteotomies and instrumentation.
