RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the safety and feasibility of the modified lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) with routine resection of the visceral branches of internal iliac vessels (IIVs) for mid-low-lying rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Consecutive patients undergoing LLND for rectal cancer were divided into the routine visceral branches of the IIVs resection group (RVR group) and the NRVR group (without routine resection). The main outcomes were postoperative complications and the number of lateral lymph nodes harvested. RESULTS: From 2012 to 2021, a total of 75 and 57 patients were included in the RVR and NRVR group, respectively. The operative time was reduced in the RVR group (p = 0.020). No significant difference was observed between the two groups for the incidence of total, major, or minor postoperative complications. Pathologically confirmed LLNM were 24 (32%) patients in the RVR group and 12 (21.1%) in the NRVR group (p = 0.162). The number of lateral lymph nodes harvested had no significant difference between two groups (11 vs. 12, p = 0.329). CONCLUSION: LLND with routine resection of visceral branches of IIVs is safe and feasible, which brings no major complication or long-term urinary disorder.

BACKGROUND: There is currently a lack of comprehensive prevalence information on arthritis and its various classifications among adults in the U.S., particularly given the notable absence of detailed data regarding the Asian population. We examined the trends in the prevalence of arthritis, including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and other types of arthritis, among U.S. adults by race between 2011 and 2018. METHODS: We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), spanning from 2011 to 2018. Our study focused on a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults aged 20 and older. Participants who answered "y es" to the research question "Doctors ever said you had arthritis?" were classified as having arthritis. Further classification into specific diseases was based on responses to the question "Which type of arthritis was it?" with options including "OA or degenerative arthritis, " "RA, " "PsA, " or "Other. " RESULTS: We analyzed 22,566 participants from NHANES (2011-2018), averaging 44.8 years, including 10,927 males. The overall arthritis prevalence rose significantly from 22.98% (95% CI: 21.47-24.55%) in 2011-12 to 27.95% (95% CI: 26.20-29.76%) in 2017-18 (P for trend < 0.001). OA increased from 12.02% (95% CI: 10.82-13.35%) in 2011 to 14.93% (95% CI: 13.47-16.51%) in 2018 (P for trend < 0.001). RA and PsA remained stable (P for trend = 0.220 and 0.849, respectively), while other arthritis rose from 2.03% (95% CI: 1.54-2.67%) in 2011-12 to 3.14% (95% CI: 2.56-3.86%) in 2017-18 (P for trend = 0.001). In Whites, Asians, and other races , arthritis and RA prevalence increased significantly (P for trend < 0.05). OA and other arthritis rose in Whites and other races (P for trend < 0.05), but no significant change occurred in the black population. The prevalence of PsA remained stable across all racial groups, with no statistically significant changes. CONCLUSIONS: In this nationally representative U.S. adult survey spanning 2011 to 2018, we identified a rising prevalence trend in arthritis, OA, and other arthritis, with notable variations among different racial groups.

BACKGROUND: Accurate classification can facilitate the selection of appropriate interventions to delay the progression of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aimed to perform the classification of ONFH through a deep learning approach. METHODS: We retrospectively sampled 1,806 midcoronal magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of 1,337 hips from 4 institutions. Of these, 1,472 midcoronal MRIs of 1,155 hips were divided into training, validation, and test datasets with a ratio of 7:1:2 to develop a convolutional neural network model (CNN). An additional 334 midcoronal MRIs of 182 hips were used to perform external validation. The predictive performance of the CNN and the review panel was also compared. RESULTS: A multiclass CNN model was successfully developed. In internal validation, the overall accuracy of the CNN for predicting the severity of ONFH based on the Japanese Investigation Committee classification was 87.8%. The macroaverage values of area under the curve (AUC), precision, recall, and F-value were 0.90, 84.8, 84.8, and 84.6%, respectively. In external validation, the overall accuracy of the CNN was 83.8%. The macroaverage values of area under the curve, precision, recall, and F-value were 0.87, 79.5, 80.5, and 79.9%, respectively. In a human-machine comparison study, the CNN outperformed or was comparable to that of the deputy chief orthopaedic surgeons. CONCLUSION: The CNN is feasible and robust for classifying ONFH and correctly locating the necrotic area. These findings suggest that classifying ONFH using deep learning with high accuracy and generalizability may aid in predicting femoral head collapse and clinical decision-making.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the parastomal hernia repairs rate in the different approaches to colostomy and investigate the risk factors for parastomal hernia formation in patients with permanent colostomies. METHODS: Consecutive rectal cancer patients who underwent abdominoperineal resection from June 2014 to July 2020 in West China Hospital were divided into two groups according to their surgical approach for permanent colostomies. The impact of different approaches to colostomy on parastomal hernia repairs was determined by comparing a group of patients receiving an extraperitoneal route to colostomy with a group receiving transperitoneal. Potential variables were evaluated first with univariate and then multivariate analyses to identify the risk factors for the formation of parastomal hernia. RESULTS: Two hundred two subjects in the transperitoneal group and 103 in the extraperitoneal group attended the follow-up visit with a median follow-up period of 33 (25th-75th percentiles, 17-46) months. Clinically and radiologically detectable parastomal hernias were present in 76 of 202 (37.6%) and 14 of 103 (13.6%) subjects in the transperitoneal and extraperitoneal groups during the follow-up period (pï¼0.01). Besides, 10 of 76 (13.1%) subjects in the transperitoneal group and 2 of 14 (14.3%) subjects in the extraperitoneal group underwent a parastomal hernia operation during the follow-up (p = 0.82). In addition, the transperitoneal approach of colostomy (p = 0.002), older age (pï¼0.001), and higher body mass index (p = 0.013) were identified as independent risk factors for the occurrence of parastomal hernia. CONCLUSIONS: Extraperitoneal colostomy decreased the detectable parastomal hernias but did not reduce the surgical repair rate of parastomal hernias.

AIM: The lymph node status plays an important role in rectal cancer, which depends on adequate lymph node harvest. Lymph node stain techniques increase the lymph node harvest. The aim of this prospective study is to investigate which subgroups of lymph nodes harvested were increased mostly. METHODS: From May 2020 to May 2022, 172 stage II-III rectal cancer patients were randomized to methylene blue (MB) stained group or unstained group to retrieve the lymph nodes. Methylene blue solution was injected into the inferior mesenteric artery, we dissected lymph nodes by palpation and sight. The lymph nodes were divided into 3 groups depending on the anatomy (main lymph nodes, superior rectal and perirectal lymph nodes (SPLNs), and pericolic lymph nodes located beyond 10 cm proximal to the tumor), and 3 groups depending on the short diameter of the nodes (big: ≥ 5 mm, small: 5-2 mm, mini: ≤ 2 mm). RESULTS: The number of lymph nodes harvested with MB was significantly higher (22.0 (14.8, 32.0) vs 14.5 (11.0, 22.0); p < 0.001) without difference in positive patients or number of positive nodes. The positive rate of the big node was 3.5%, the small node was 1.9%, and the mini node was 0.2%. In the subgroup analysis, the median number of mini lymph nodes in the MB-stained group was significantly more than that of the unstained group (median (IQR): 9.0 (6.0, 14.0) vs 4.0 (2.0,6.0), p < 0.001); and the median number of SPLNs in the MB-stained group were significantly more than that of the unstained group (median (IQR): 15.0 (9.0, 19.0) vs 10.0 (6.0, 13.3), p < 0.001); these differences were existing in both patients with and without neoadjuvant treatments. CONCLUSION: Intra-arterial injection of MB can significantly increase the number of lymph nodes harvested in rectal cancers, especially those mini lymph nodes. However, methylene blue staining did not significantly increase the number of positive lymph nodes and the proportion of patients with more than 12 lymph nodes, or affect lymph node staging accuracy after radical resection of rectal cancer.

AIM: The lymph node (LN) status plays an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC), which depends on adequate LN harvest. In some studies, methylene blue has been used to increase the number of LNs harvested in vitro. The purpose was to evaluate the effect of methylene blue staining on LN harvest during radical resection of CRC. METHODS: The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched from the dates of inception until 15 October 2022. Studies were included if they were randomized controlled trials or nonrandomized controlled trials for radical resection of rectal cancer according to the principle of total mesorectal excision that compared the use of methylene blue with blank control in LN harvest. The primary outcomes were the number of LNs harvested and the incidence of fewer than 12 LNs harvested. RESULT: Of 328 articles found, a meta-analysis was conducted of 15 studies (2 randomized controlled trials and 13 non-randomized controlled trials) composed of 3104 patients. Meta-analysis showed that methylene blue could not only significantly increase the number of LNs harvested in CRC specimens (stained group 28.23 vs unstained group 16.15; weighted mean difference 12.08; 95% CI, 8.03-16.12; p < 0.001; I2 = 95%), but also reduce the incidence of fewer than 12 LNs harvested (methylene blue-stained group 7.91% vs unstained group 30.90%; OR 0.12; 95% CI, 0.05-0.26; p < 0.001; I2 = 78%). CONCLUSION: Methylene blue can increase the number of LNs harvested in CRC, reduce the incidence of fewer than 12 LNs harvested, and ensure the accuracy of LN staging.

Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the femoral head is an important issue for orthopedists and radiologists in clinical practice. With the rapid development of technological advances in radiation therapy and the improvement in cancer survival rates, the incidence of ORN is rising, and there is an unmet need for basic and clinical research. The pathogenesis of ORN is complex, and includes vascular injury, mesenchymal stem cell injury, bone loss, reactive oxygen species, radiation-induced fibrosis, and cell senescence. The diagnosis of ORN is challenging and requires multiple considerations, including exposure to ionizing radiation, clinical manifestations, and findings on physical examination and imaging. Differential diagnosis is essential, as clinical symptoms of ORN of the femoral head can resemble many other hip conditions. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, total hip arthroplasty, and Girdlestone resection arthroplasty are effective treatments, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The literature on ORN of the femoral head is incomplete and there is no criterion standard or clear consensus on management. Clinicians should gain a better and more comprehensive understanding on this disease to facilitate its early and better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This article aims to review the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of osteoradionecrosis of the femoral head.

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is challenging due to variability in the surgeon's experience level. This study developed an MRI-based deep learning system to detect early ONFH and evaluated its feasibility in the clinic. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated clinical MRIs of the hips that were performed in our institution from January 2019 to June 2022 and collected all MRIs diagnosed with early ONFH. An advanced convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained and optimized; then, the diagnostic performance of the CNN was evaluated according to its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. We also further compared the CNN's performance with that of orthopaedic surgeons. RESULTS: Overall, 11,061 images were retrospectively included in the present study and were divided into three datasets with ratio 7:2:1. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the CNN model for identifying early ONFH were 0.98, 98.4, 97.6, and 98.6%, respectively. In our review panel, the averaged accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for identifying ONFH were 91.7, 87.0, and 94.1% for attending orthopaedic surgeons; 87.1, 84.0, and 89.3% for resident orthopaedic surgeons; and 97.1, 96.0, and 97.9% for deputy chief orthopaedic surgeons, respectively. CONCLUSION: The deep learning system showed a comparable performance to that of deputy chief orthopaedic surgeons in identifying early ONFH. The success of deep learning diagnosis of ONFH might be conducive to assisting less-experienced surgeons, especially in large-scale medical imaging screening and community scenarios lacking consulting experts.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for detecting early osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) from various hip pathologies and evaluate the feasibility of its application. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed and annotated hip magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of ONFH patients from four participated institutions and constructed a multi-centre dataset to develop the DCNN system. The diagnostic performance of the DCNN in the internal and external test datasets was calculated, including area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, and gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) technique was used to visualize its decision-making process. In addition, a human-machine comparison trial was performed. RESULTS: Overall, 11,730 hip MRI segments from 794 participants were used to develop and optimize the DCNN system. The AUROC, accuracy, and precision of the DCNN in internal test dataset were 0.97 (95% CI, 0.93-1.00), 96.6% (95% CI: 93.0-100%), and 97.6% (95% CI: 94.6-100%), and in external test dataset, they were 0.95 (95% CI, 0.91- 0.99), 95.2% (95% CI, 91.1-99.4%), and 95.7% (95% CI, 91.7-99.7%). Compared with attending orthopaedic surgeons, the DCNN showed superior diagnostic performance. The Grad-CAM demonstrated that the DCNN placed focus on the necrotic region. CONCLUSION: Compared with clinician-led diagnoses, the developed DCNN system is more accurate in diagnosing early ONFH, avoiding empirical dependence and inter-reader variability. Our findings support the integration of deep learning systems into real clinical settings to assist orthopaedic surgeons in diagnosing early ONFH.

Although most studies have introduced risk factors related to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure, studies on combinations of high-risk factors are rare. To provide a systematic review of the risk factors of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure to guide surgeons through the decision-making process, an extensive literature search was performed of the Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases. Studies published between January 1, 2009, and September 19, 2019, regarding the existing evidence for risk factors of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure or graft failure were included in this review. Study quality was evaluated with the quality index. Ultimately, 66 articles met our criteria. There were 46 cases classified as technical factors, 21 cases as patient-related risk factors, and 14 cases as status of the knee joint. Quality assessment scores ranged from 14 to 24. This systematic review provides a comprehensive summary of the risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure, including technical factors, patient-related factors, and the factors associated with the status of the knee joint. Emphasis should be placed on avoiding these high-risk combinations or correcting modifiable risk factors during preoperative planning to reduce the rate of graft rupture and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this cross-sectional observational study was to determine the morphological meniscus characteristics in a normal Chinese population and assess possible relationships between demographic data and meniscal morphological parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS We examined 116 menisci (58 lateral and 58 medial) from 29 healthy Chinese volunteers (10 men, 19 women, mean age 26 years [range, 20-33 years]) with MRI and three-dimensional reconstruction using Mimics software. The width, thickness, anteroposterior distance (APD), lateral-medial distance (LMD), and covering angle (CA) were measured on reconstructed models. Univariate analysis was used to evaluate the differences of morphological parameters between the medial and lateral menisci, between sides, and between males and females. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between meniscal morphological parameters and body height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS Univariate analysis demonstrated that the width, thickness, APD, LMD, and CA were significantly different between lateral and medial menisci. The LMD and APD of menisci in men were significantly larger than in women. There was no significant difference in meniscal thickness and CA between males and females. The lateral meniscus dimensions were slightly larger in the right knee. According to Pearson correlation analysis, the APDs of both lateral and medial menisci were strongly correlated with height and weight (lateral: r=0.596, r=0.500; medial: r=0.684, r=0.680). CONCLUSIONS The morphologies of medial and lateral menisci were different and were not significantly correlation with each other. The meniscal width and diameter were correlated with demographic data, but the thickness and CA did not significantly differ by sex, height, or BMI.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare the morphometric differences between patients with or without anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and identify the anatomic risk factors associated with ACL injury in active individuals. METHODS: The knee joint magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 100 subjects were included in this study. Data from the ACL-injured group (50 patients) and matched controls (50 subjects) were obtained from the same hospital. These data were analyzed by univariable analysis or multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis to examine the effects of the following variables on the risk of suffering ACL injury for the first time: TT-TG distance, medial and lateral tibial slope, intercondylar notch width and depth, femur condylar width, lateral femoral condylar depth, notch width index (NWI), notch shape index (NSI), notch depth index (NDI), and cross-sectional area (CSA). RESULTS: In the univariable analysis, the ACL-injured group had a larger TT-TG distance, increased medial and lateral tibial slope, narrower intercondylar notch width, deeper lateral femoral condylar depth, lesser NWI and NSI, and CSA when compared with the control group (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant between-group differences in intercondylar notch depth (P = 0.174), femur condylar width (P = 0.797), and NDI (P = 0.436). The multivariable analysis revealed that TT-TG distance [odds ratio (OR) = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.04-1.81, P = 0.028], medial tibial slope (OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.02-1.66, P = 0.036) and NWI (OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.24-0.91, P = 0.025) had significant multivariable associations with the sole independent risk of ACL injury. CONCLUSION: Larger TT-TG distance, increased MTS, and lesser NWI are independent anatomic risk factors for active individuals with ACL injury. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Case-control study; Level of Evidence, III.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate three-dimensional morphology of acetabular lunate surface in patients with dysplastic hip using three-dimensional computed tomography (CT), and to compare the lunate surface morphology between the normal and dysplastic hips. METHODS: Sixty seven dysplastic hips in symptomatic patients and 61 normal hips in healthy volunteers who underwent three-dimensional CT scanning were included in this study. The size and shape of the lunate surface was measured with a fully automated imaging technique using Mimics16.0 software; lunate surface morphology was compared between the normal and dysplastic hips on the radial spherical coordinate system. RESULTS: A general trend of inferomedial rotation of the lunate surface was observed in dysplastic hips. Dysplastic hips showed a remarkable decrease in total absolute and relative size of the lunate surface as compared to that in normal hips. The dysplastic hips were divided into four groups: superior area decrease group (SD); anterosuperior area decrease group (ASD); global area decrease group (GD); global area increase group (GI). The arc of the global increase (GI) subgroup (26.86%) was increased, while that of the remaining three subgroups was decreased as compared to that in the normal acetabulum group. CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional information and fundamental morphological features of the lunate surface in dysplastic hips were significantly different from those in the normal group. These findings may aid precise computational biomechanical analysis, preoperative planning for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), achievement of satisfactory cartilaginous congruency, and judgment of postoperative prognosis in addition to postoperative treatment evaluation.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate glenoid morphology and define the safe zone for protecting the suprascapular nerve baseplate screw during baseplate fixation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in a Chinese population. METHODS: Shoulder computed tomography (CT) scans from 56 subjects were retrospectively reviewed. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction was performed using Mimics software, and corresponding bony references were used to evaluate glenoid morphology. To standardize evaluation, the coronal scapular plane was defined. Safe fixation distances and screw placements were investigated by constructing a simulated cutting plane of the baseplate during RSA. RESULTS: Mean glenoid height was 35.83 ± 2.95 mm, and width was 27.32 ± 2.78 mm, with significant sexual dimorphism (p < 0.01). According to the cutting plane morphology, the average baseplate radius was 13.84 ± 1.34 mm. The distances from the suprascapular notch and from two bony reference points at the base of the scapular spine to the cutting plane were 30.27 ± 2.77 mm, 18.39 ± 1.67 mm and 16.52 ± 1.52 mm, respectively, with a gender-related difference. Based on the clock face indication system, the danger zone caused by the suprascapular nerve projection was oriented between the two o'clock and eight o'clock positions in reference to the right shoulder. CONCLUSIONS: Glenoid size and the safe zone for screw fixation during RSA were characterized in a Chinese population. Careful consideration of baseplate fixation and avoidance of suprascapular nerve injury are important for improved clinical outcome.

Meniscus injury has been one of the most common knee injuries in current society. The research on artificial meniscus implants as substitutes in meniscus reconstruction therapy has become global focus in order to solve clinical problems such as irreparable meniscus injury and symptoms after full or partial meniscectomy. At present, researches on artificial meniscus implants mainly focus on biodegradable meniscus scaffolds and non-biodegradable meniscus substitutes. Although the commercialized meniscal implants, such as CMI ®, Actifit ® and NUsurface ®, have been applied in the clinical, none of them can perfectively restore or permanently replace the natural meniscus tissue, effectively solve the symptoms after meniscectomy, and prevent cartilage degenerative diseases. The research progress, application, advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of artificial meniscus implants are reviewed in this manuscript, and the prospect is provided.

BACKGROUND This study analyzed the effect of preoperative T1 slope on cervical alignment and range of motion (ROM) after cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) in patients with cervical degenerative disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 32 patients with single-level symptomatic cervical disc disease who underwent CDA with the Mobi-C cervical disc prosthesis and had a mean follow-up of 26.8±6.4 months. Standing lateral, flexion, and extension X-rays of the cervical spine were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively at 24-month follow-up. Simple linear regression analysis was used to assess the impact of preoperative T1 slope on changes from preoperative values in radiologic parameters. RESULTS Compared to preoperative values, at 24-month follow-up, there was a significant increase in mean functional spinal unit (FSU) angle (+7.4°), upper adjacent segment (UAS) angle (+3.1°), and overall cervical alignment (C2-C7 angle) (+6.3°), and a significant decrease in mean lower adjacent segment (LAS) angle (-2.4°). Mean ROM of the FSU (-3.6°), LAS (-3.0°), and overall cervical spine (-11.5°) significantly decreased, and mean ROM of the UAS (+1.6°) significantly increased. There were significant correlations between preoperative T1 slope and mean change from preoperative value in FSU angle, C2-C7 angle, and ROM of the overall cervical spine (C2-C7). CONCLUSIONS T1 slope is useful for evaluating changes in the FSU angle, C2-C7 angle, and ROM of the overall cervical spine following CDA with the Mobi-C disc. Patients with a large preoperative T1 slope may be good candidates for CDA with the Mobi-C prosthesis due its motion maintenance and the fact that it has little adverse impact on sagittal alignment. It also could be a good option in terms of sagittal alignment improvement or motion maintenance for patients with kyphosis.

BACKGROUND: Restoring the joint line (JL) is a key element of performing joint arthroplasty, which is a challenging proposition during revision surgeries. We investigated the accuracy of 2 different methods of identifying the JL using the adductor tubercle (AT) as the reference landmark. METHODS: Standardized protocols for measurements from 50 knee radiographs were established. Femoral width (FW) and the distance from the AT to the JL (ATJL) were measured on anteroposterior radiographs, and the femoral diameter (FD) was measured on true lateral views. The individual ratio of FW and FD to ATJL was calculated using linear regression analysis. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability was assessed. In order to test the accuracy of the ratio calculated, we also recorded the FW and ATJL of 20 additional knees by magnetic resonance images. RESULTS: There are significant differences between genders with these parameters. A linear correlation was found between FW and ATJL (r2 = 0.7201), which was more reliable than the correlation between FD and ATJL (r2 = 0.3918). Interobserver repeatability was better for ATJL and FW than for FD. The mean ratio of ATJL/FW was 0.560 ± 0.03, and there was no statistical difference between men and women. After using this ratio formulas in those data measured from knee magnetic resonance imaging, all cases revealed reliability with 100% cases lying in a 4-mm error margin. CONCLUSION: The AT can be used as a reliable landmark to determine the knee JL position, and the formulas for calculating the ATJL with FW can be applied, making intraoperative identification and judgment easier.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional morphological features of the proximal femur of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS: From January 2012 to December 2014, 38 patients (47 hips) of DDH were admitted and 30 normal hips were selected as controls. All hips from both groups were examined by CT scan. CT data were imported into Mimics 17.0. Three-dimensional models of the proximal femur were then reconstructed, and the following parameters were measured: neck-shaft angle, neck length, offset, height of the centre of femoral head, level of isthmus, height of the tip of greater trochanter, the medullary canal diameter of isthmus(Di), the medullary canal diameter 10 mm above the apex of the lesser trochanter(DT + 10), the medullary canal diameter 20 mm below the apex of the lesser trochanter(DT-20), and then DT + 10/Di, DT-20/Di and DT + 10/DT-20 were calculated. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in neck-shaft angle between Crowe I, Crowe II-III DDH and the control group, while the neck-shaft angle was much smaller in Crowe IV DDH. The neck length of Crowe IV DDH was also much smaller than those of Crowe I and Crowe II-III DDH. Height of the tip greater trochanter in Crowe IV was greater than that in Crowe I, Crowe II-III DDH and the control group. The centre of femoral head in Crowe IV DDH was lower than those in Crowe I, Crowe II-III DDH and the control group. The level of isthmus in Crowe IV was much higher than those in Crowe I, Crowe II-III DDH and the control group. DT + 10, DT-20, DT + 10/Di and DT-20/Di were much smaller in Crowe IV DDH than those in Crowe I, Crowe II-III and the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Neck-shaft angle in the DDH groups was not larger than that in the control group. Comparing to Crowe I, Crowe II-III DDH and the control group, Crowe IV DDH had a dramatic change in the intramedullary and extramedullary parameters, especially the dramatic narrowing of medullary canal around the level of the lesser trochanter. The on-shelf modular prosthesis may not be an ideal choice for the Chinese patients with Crowe IV hips.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate characteristics and the differences of the anatomical parameters of the proximal femur of the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS: A total of 38 patients(47 hips) diagnosed as DDH with CT scan data and the pelvis radiograph from January 2012 to December 2014 in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University were retrospectively analyzed. All the hips were divided into 3 groups according to Crowe classification method. Thirty normal hips were selected as controls who admitted at the same time. CT data of the patients were imported into Mimics 17.0. The three-dimensional models of the proximal femur were then reconstructed, and the following parameters were measured: neck-shaft angle, neck length, offset, height of the centre of femoral head, height of the isthmus, height of greater trochanter, the medullary canal diameter of isthmus (Di), the medullary canal diameter 10 mm above the apex of the lesser trochanter (DT+ 10), the medullary canal diameter 20 mm below the apex of the lesser trochanter (DT-20), and then DT+ 10/Di, DT-20/Di and DT+ 10/DT-20 were calculated.Variance discrepancy analysis was used to compare the difference among the four groups, and LSD method was used to compare the difference between either two groups. RESULTS: The parameters of neck-shaft angle of DDH with Crowe I, Crowe II-III, Crowe IV and the control group were (131.8°±7.1°), (131.7°±6.5°), (122.8°±11.4°) and (131.8°±5.9°), respectively; the parameters of neck-shaft angle of DDH with Crowe IV was smaller than that of DDH with Crowe I, Crowe II-III and control group (all P<0.05). The parameters of the neck length of DDH with Crowe IV ((44.6±6.6) mm) was smaller than that of DDH with Crowe I ((48.6±6.7) mm), Crowe II-III ((50.4±4.7) mm) (all P<0.05). There is no statistic difference in the offset among the groups (F=2.392, P>0.05). The parameters of the height of greater trochanter of DDH with Crowe IV ((12.1±6.1) mm) was bigger than that of DDH with Crowe I ((8.9±7.2) mm), Crowe II-III ((7.5±3.3) mm) and control group ((6.1±3.9) mm) (all P<0.05). The parameters of the height of the centre of femoral head of DDH with Crowe I, Crowe II-III, Crowe IV were (39.6±6.5) mm, (39.1±4.2) mm, (38.8±8.6) mm, which were smaller than that of the control group ((46.5±6.2) mm) (all P<0.05). The parameters of Di of DDH with Crowe I, Crowe II-III, Crowe IV and the control group were (9.9±2.2) mm, (8.3±1.8) mm, (8.7±1.7) mm and (10.1±1.4) mm; the parameters of Di of DDH with Crowe II-III and Crowe IV were smaller than that of the control group (all P<0.05). The parameters of DT+ 10 ((17.2±5.3) mm) and DT-20 ((12.2±3.0) mm) of DDH with Crowe IV were smaller than that of DDH with Crowe I ((25.2±3.4) mm, (17.1±2.3) mm) and Crowe II-III ((21.9±4.2) mm, (16.3±3.2) mm) (all P<0.05). The parameter of the height of the isthmus of DDH with Crowe IV ((94.1±19.7) mm) was smaller than that of DDH with Crowe I ((106.2±13.8) mm), Crowe II-III ((108.8±10.5) mm) and control group ((116.5±10.6) mm), respectively (P=0.010, 0.008, 0.000). The parameters of DT+ 10/Di (2.0±0.4) and DT-20/Di (1.4±0.2) of DDH with Crowe IV were smaller than that of DDH with Crowe I (2.6±0.5, 1.8±0.3), Crowe II-III (2.7±0.60, 1.9±0.3) (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Comparing to DDH with Crowe I-III and control group, DDH with Crowe IV has a dramatic change in the intramedullary and extramedullary parameters. The isthmus and the great trochanter are higher and there is apparent narrowing of the medullary canal around the level of the lesser trochanter.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to explore the correlations between the different parameters of the cervical sagittal balance in magnetic resonance images (MRI) and evaluate the criteria for their clinical application in disc-degenerative diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of the MRIs of 125 adult outpatients with disc-degenerative diseases of the cervical spine; the images were obtained between May and July 2014 at our institute. The control group comprised 50 volunteers whose MRIs were also obtained. The parameters measured in the MRIs were: neck tilt (NT), T1 slope (T1S), thoracic inlet angle (TIA), and Cobb's angle (C2-7). The correlation between the various parameters was analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The outpatients group showed moderate correlation between TIA and T1S, a significant correlation between TIA and NT, a weak correlation between T1S and Cobb's angle, and a weakly negative correlation between T1S and NT. Further, the TIA showed no significant difference between the outpatient group and the control group, as per the sample t test. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that TIA, T1S, and NT could be used as indices for the evaluation of cervical sagittal balance and that the TIA could be used as a reference to assess the cervical compensation. Restoration of the NT and T1S should be considered as a goal of surgical treatment during the preoperative planning in patients with disc-degenerative diseases.
