The study aimed to assess the link between preoperative psychological distress and postoperative decisional regret in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery patients. We hypothesized that greater pre-surgery distress would correlate with higher post-surgery regret. This evaluation was based on a retrospective case series from an institution with standardized surgical guidelines for ASD.

A significant portion of total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA) patients experience chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). The prevalence of afflicted individuals ranges from 10 to 34%. CPSP is the main cause of postoperative dissatisfaction. For prevention purposes it is essential to know which preoperative factors are predictive for CPSP. It is unknown whether neuropathic-like symptoms add predictive value to known predictors for CPSP and dissatisfaction after TKA/THA.

Floating hip is a severe high-energy injury. Femoral fracture is an essential component of floating hip. However, few studies have addressed the relationship between the femoral fracture pattern and floating hip injury. In this study, we reviewed and summarized the epidemiological and clinical data of patients with floating hip.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a surgical procedure for managing osteoarthritis of one joint compartment, most commonly the medial side. This systematic review investigates the causes of UKA revision. The outcomes of interest were establishing the revision rate, time to revision, and the most common causes of revision in the long- and midterm follow-up.

The current literature lacks robust clinical data and evidence delineating the relationship between obesity measurement indexes and knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Consequently, this investigation seeks to elucidate the potential link between obesity measurement indexes and KOA among Chinese adults in a nationally representative study.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common type of joint disease in elderly people and is characterized by pain and dysfunction. Although the monoiodoacetate (MIA)-induced model is widely used as a rodent KOA model, it is important to acknowledge the inherent limitations of this model, as the MIA model develops complex pathological phases on a daily basis. An accurate understanding of this model and the selection of an appropriate time point according to the target for drug candidates can lead to the development of clinically effective drugs.

Generally, scarf osteotomy is recommended for moderate-severe hallux valgus (HV) deformity. Although severe HV deformity is defined to be more than 40 degree (°), this definition of angular setting includes broad range of HV angle (HVA). Actually, very severe HV deformity such as more than 60° of the HVA is often seen. At present, whether scarf osteotomy would truly contribute to maintaining the correction status against such very severe deformity is elusive. Then, in this study corrective effectiveness of modified scarf osteotomy including very severe deformity (HVA ≥ 60°) was evaluated.

Acetabular fractures can lead to persistent pain and disability. Managing these complex injuries involves several treatment options such as nonoperative methods, percutaneous fixation, open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), and total hip arthroplasty (THA), and various combinations of these techniques. Around 20 to 40% of patients treated with ORIF may develop post-traumatic arthritis requiring THA. To pinpoint the factors contributing to initial treatment failure of acetabular fractures and the subsequent need for THA conversion, we are conducting a systematic review of relevant literature.

Knee osteoarthritis [KOA] is a common musculoskeletal disorder that is characterized by degeneration of the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone. It leads to pain and functional limitations in the joint. Genicular Nerve Blocks [GNB] or Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation [GNRFA] are pain-reducing procedures that can be used in such patients. Newer and more accurate anatomical landmarks for genicular nerves are being identified. More named genicular nerves are also being targeted for better pain relief.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis, characterized by the entrapment of the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons in the first extensor compartment, leads to pain and swelling near the radial styloid. When conservative treatments including rest and antiinflammatory medications fail, surgery is often recommended. This study aimed to compare transverse and longitudinal skin incisions with respect to surgical scars, postoperative pain, and functional outcomes in the open release of the first extensor compartment in radial styloid tenosynovitis.

To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have linked the progression of hallux valgus (HV) with plantar pressure distribution. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the progression of HV angle in elite adolescent dancers and evaluate the risk factors associated with foot plantar pressure during demi-pointe movement.

This retrospective review study aimed to determine whether functional mobility test (FMT) results are related to the incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) after surgical correction of adult spinal deformity (ASD).

Young musicians starting their professional education are particularly vulnerable to playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs). In the context of research on PRMDs, physical and psychological associated factors are frequently highlighted without investigating their complex interrelationships. The objective of this exploratory study was to examine the associations between lifestyle, music practice habits, physical and psychological variables, and PRMDs in student musicians.

The Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) is used to screen patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and to quantify the severity of ankle instability. Neuromuscular deficits are common in CAI, including proprioception, strength, and balance issues. The relationship between CAIT scores and neuromuscular factors is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between ankle instability and ankle muscle strength, proprioception, and dynamic balance.

The burden on the individual, society and healthcare providers of low back pain in the western world is well documented. Globalisation and urbanisation, it has been reported, has led to an increase in low back pain in developing countries such as those situated in Sub-Saharan Africa. Low back pain determinants are framed, according to the individual, social and cultural context. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the risk factors of low back pain in Nigeria and South Africa, whose growing and modernising economies operate alongside more traditional labour-intensive practices provide a comparison for modern-day Sub-Saharan Africa.

To investigate the clinical effect of medial meniscus posterior root repair combined with centralization technique in treating medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs).

Low back pain (LBP) is a common health complaint and a prominent factor in the development of LBP among the working population is stress. Mostly, stress is addressed as a general problem, which is why LBP prevention programs are often imprecise. Accordingly, a closer look at the association between specific stress types and the development of LBP is necessary. Therefore, this paper aims (1) to identify the stress types most closely associated with LBP; (2) to examine the relationship between stress accumulation and LBP.

Foot and ankle arthrodesis procedures are frequently performed in concert with the utilization of bone grafts. However, the availability of autologous bone is often limited, inaccessible, or not suitable, thus there is a need for bone graft substitutes with equally effective clinical outcomes. A next generation integrative bone matrix (IBM) has been developed that has intrinsic osteogenic, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive characteristics, and is a promising solution to mitigate complications such as nonunion and reduce the need for autologous bone graft harvest.

Cervical hyperextension injuries (CHI), commonly resulting in central cord syndrome and spinal instability, often affect the elderly with preexisting degenerative spinal changes, leading to a need for surgical interventions that address both the compression and stability of the cervical spine. This study compares the clinical outcomes of two posterior decompression and fixation procedures for treating cervical hyperextension injury in patients with preexisting multilevel spinal canal stenosis.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) offers substantially improved function for patients with severe osteoarthritis, but long-term success can be overshadowed by aseptic loosening, a complication with a multifactorial etiology. This study aims to investigate the association between BMI and the rate of aseptic loosening and other complications in patients undergoing primary TKA.
