Introduction: The effect of gender on teaching satisfaction in clinical medicine has been mixed. While earlier studies often reported that female physician educators receive lower evaluation scores than their male counte...

Abstract An automatic markerless knee tracking and registration algorithm has been proposed in the literature to avoid the marker insertion required by conventional computer-assisted knee surgery, resulting in a shorter ...

Aims: The Reimers migration percentage (MP) is the gold-standard radiological parameter used to aid decision-making regarding surgical management of hip displacement in cerebral palsy (CP). Accurate measurement is import...

Aims: This audit aimed to assess compliance with British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma (BOAST) for paediatric forearm and wrist fractures across UK NHS hospitals and identify targets for improvement locall...

Aims: Arthroplasty generates the most waste among the sub-specialties of orthopaedic surgery. Infectious waste generates ten times more CO2 than recycled waste, and over 90% of it is misallocated. This multicentre study ...

Stemless shoulder arthroplasty has the advantage of reducing stem related complications while allowing for  anatomic restoration of proximal humerus independently from the humeral canal and diaphyseal axis and preservin...

Background. Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) represent approximately 5% of all fractures, occurring predominantly in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Functional limitations and high complication rates are common resu...

Background: TikTok videos on orthopaedic topics receive high engagement, but the quality of content on knee osteotomies is unclear. Purpose: To assess the quality, reliability, and educational value of TikTok videos on k...

Background: Small-bore needle arthroscopy (SNA) has emerged as a minimally invasive diagnostic tool in outpatient orthopaedics, allowing direct intra-articular visualization and serving as a potential alternative to magn...

Abstract Background Ankle arthrodesis is an established procedure for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. Besides the known limited functionality, gait and foot arch changes are accompanying pathologies, which are little inv...

Abstract In order to assess the pain phenomenon, a pilot cross-sectional study was conducted. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between segmental body composition and cervical spine mobility in indiv...

Background: Ankle fractures are common injuries that often present first to general practitioners, urgent care clinicians, or emergency medical services (EMS) teams. Inadequate prehospital management such as suboptimal s...

Abstract Background Subtalar arthroereisis (STA) is a commonly used surgical approach for treating pediatric flatfoot. It remains unclear whether STA combined with spring ligament repair surgery is necessary. The purpose...
