Cervical acceleration/deceleration injuries, also known as whiplash associated disorders, involve injury to the neck from sudden back-and-forth motion and can cause neck pain, dizziness, or neuropraxia. Symptoms are usually self-limiting but may require conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or vestibular rehabilitation. Rarely, cervical spine injuries from whiplash can be life-threatening if they damage blood vessels or the spinal cord. Those at highest risk include participants in contact sports or motor racing.
The document summarizes a journal club discussion on autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for treating articular cartilage defects in the knee. It provides details on the ACI procedure, which involves harvesting cartilage cells from a patient's knee, growing them in culture, and implanting them back into the defect using a periosteal patch or collagen membrane. The document compares ACI to other cartilage repair techniques like microfracture and drilling, finding ACI can regenerate hyaline-like cartilage while other techniques only produce fibrocartilage with limited lifespan. Rehabilitation guidelines and long-term assessment of ACI grafts via MRI, biopsy and arthroscopy are also summarized.
This document discusses potential interventions for preventing hip fractures in geriatric patients. It summarizes a new technique called Anisotropy Restoring Femoroplasty (ARF) that aims to restore mechanical properties to the proximal femur through a minimally invasive procedure. ARF involves inserting metallic elements embedded in an isotropic filler like calcium phosphate into the femur via small drill holes. Testing in a porcine model found ARF restored load and strength to levels comparable to healthy bone. The researchers believe ARF may help reduce hip fracture risk in high-risk patients, and could be performed alongside traditional hip fracture repair.
Murine Achilles Tendon Biomechanical Properties and Regional Strain PatternsJacob Kallenbach
The document summarizes a study that characterized the biomechanical properties and regional strain patterns of murine Achilles tendons. The following key points were reported:
1. Murine Achilles tendons exhibited significant regional variations in tissue strain, with the highest strain observed at the insertion region and the lowest in the distal midsubstance region.
2. At peak forces seen in other animal models, the insertional strain in murine Achilles tendons was significantly greater than both the distal and proximal midsubstance regions.
3. Future work will focus on using this testing method to observe the biomechanical response and regional strain variations in mutant mouse models lacking tendon transcription factors, to study tendon injury models.
This document provides information on pediatric supracondylar fractures of the elbow. It discusses that these fractures are common in children and often present with neurovascular injuries. Nondisplaced or minimally displaced fractures can be treated with immobilization, while displaced fractures typically require closed reduction and pin fixation. Fractures with preoperative neurovascular deficits or those that cannot be adequately reduced closed may require open reduction to address entrapment issues. Open reduction through an anterior incision allows exposure and release of trapped nerves and vessels. Postoperative monitoring is important to identify any developing complications.
This document profiles Dr. Amish Sanghvi and his qualifications and expertise in spine surgery. It outlines his medical training and fellowships in spine surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery, and stem cell research. It also lists some of his achievements including national awards and publications. The document describes Dr. Sanghvi's areas of expertise, which include various spine surgeries and conditions. It provides examples of some of his patients' cases and outcomes.
1) The document describes a case of an intra-articular distal radius fracture with significant deformity and displacement seen on radiographs.
2) Several techniques are discussed for surgical treatment including mobilizing fracture fragments, using intact structures like the ulnar head to help rebuild support, and building the fracture back to the volar locking plate which can help achieve and maintain reduction.
3) Volar locked plating provides adequate stability for early range of motion rehabilitation and typically leads to excellent healing and functional outcomes, though care must be taken to ensure the locking screws are placed just below the subchondral bone to avoid joint penetration.

The document summarizes the treatment of a Libyan rebel soldier with infected nonunions of the left distal femur and right tibia using the Masquelet technique at Spaulding Hospital. Key points:
- The patient underwent debridement and placement of antibiotic cement spacers at the nonunion sites to induce membrane formation per the Masquelet technique.
- After membrane maturation, the spacers were removed and the defects were filled with iliac crest bone graft within the membranes.
- At 8 months post-op the patient was weight bearing with assistance and showing healing of the nonunions without recurrent infection.
- The Masquelet technique allowed reconstruction of these severe wartime injuries in a
This study examined the effect of mechanical environment on healing of critical-sized femoral defects in rats, finding that applying an initial period of loose fixation ("reverse dynamization") followed by rigid fixation led to better healing than rigid fixation alone, as assessed by radiology, histology, and mechanical testing. The reverse dynamization approach counters current clinical practice of immediate rigid fixation for large segmental defects and warrants further optimization and study to determine if it could improve treatment of such injuries in patients.
Anatomical Glenoid Reconstruction for Recurrent Anterior Glenohumeral Instabi...Peter Millett MD
Eleven cases of traumatic recurrent anterior instability that required bony reconstruction for severe anterior glenoid bone loss were reviewed. In all cases, the length of the anterior glenoid defect exceeded the maximum anteroposterior radius of the glenoid based on preoperative assessment by 3-dimensional CT scan. Surgical reconstruction was performed using an intra-articular tricortical iliac crest bone graft contoured to reestablish the concavity and width of the glenoid. The graft was fixed with cannulated screws in combination with an anterior-inferior capsular repair.

1) Periprosthetic femur fractures around hip implants are increasingly common as more elderly patients maintain active lifestyles with hip replacements.
2) Evaluation involves plain radiographs and surgery is usually needed except for non-displaced Vancouver type A and some B/C patterns.
3) Surgical treatment follows plate fixation principles to restore length, alignment and rotation without disrupting fracture fragments. Bridge plating is preferred over anatomic reduction. Long locking plates provide stable fixation, especially in osteoporotic bone.
This document summarizes key issues in treating fractures of the distal humerus. It discusses the increasing incidence of these fractures, especially in elderly women. Classification systems and preoperative planning are outlined. Surgical approaches like the olecranon osteotomy are described, along with techniques for fracture stabilization and indications for total elbow arthroplasty in complex fractures of elderly patients.
Target Tape is a radiopaque surgical guide that allows surgeons to accurately mark incision sites for spinal procedures using a single X-ray in the operating room. It can reduce incision sizes by 50% and decrease radiation exposure and risks compared to traditional fluoroscopy methods. Studies show Target Tape increases accuracy, decreases surgical time and radiation exposure, and mitigates the risks of wrong-site surgeries compared to conventional localization techniques.
A 13-year-old female was referred for evaluation of a painless swelling on her right foot. Imaging revealed an osteolytic lesion in the first metatarsal bone containing a retained toothpick that had been embedded in the bone for 2 years. Surgical exploration confirmed a 4 cm toothpick surrounded by granulation tissue in the first metatarsal. The toothpick was removed and the lesion was curetted. Follow up showed remodeling of the first metatarsal bone with no complications. A literature review found 7 similar cases of foreign bodies like thorns or wood pieces causing osteolytic lesions in metatarsal bones.
This document summarizes a study of 110 patients who underwent distal femur resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction between 1980-1998. The majority had malignant bone tumors. Reconstruction was performed with modular, custom-made, or expandable prostheses. At minimum 2-year follow up, function was good or excellent in 85% of patients. Complications included deep infection in 5%, aseptic loosening in 5%, and prosthetic failure in 5%. The limb salvage rate was 96%. Distal femur endoprosthetic reconstruction provided good function and local tumor control in most patients.
This study evaluated morbidity after bone graft harvesting from the anterior or posterior iliac crest for maxillofacial and orthopedic procedures. 97 patients underwent either anterior or posterior iliac crest bone harvesting to augment the jaws. Postoperative pain levels were similar for both approaches based on patient questionnaires, with pain decreasing over 6 months. Most patients reported their scars were similar and nearly all would undergo the procedure again, suggesting both approaches provide bone grafts with acceptable morbidity. The posterior approach allows harvesting of larger amounts of bone.
This document discusses the evolution of orthopaedics from ancient times to the future.

This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of treating discogenic back pain by injecting autologous bone marrow concentrate (BMC) directly into damaged discs. Twenty-six patients received injections of their own BMC into one or two painful discs. At two years follow-up, most patients experienced significant reductions in pain and disability, with 81% avoiding back surgery. No complications occurred from the injections. The results provide preliminary evidence that BMC injections may be a safe and effective non-surgical treatment for discogenic back pain.

Megaprosthetic replacement of knee in a young boy of 14 yearsApollo Hospitals
Now a days, Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a common for elderly patients but is an uncommon procedure in young individuals. Recently, limb conservation surgery for malignant bone tumours like osteosarcoma around the knee has become a common indication for TKR in young. We report, here a histologically confirmed osteosarcoma in right
proximal tibia of a 14-year-old boy who was managed successfully by limb salvage surgery using Global Modular Replacement System (GMRS, Stryker).
The document compares the results of MACI (matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation), a two-step cartilage repair technique, to AMIC (autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis), a one-step technique. A retrospective study of 30 patients who underwent MACI found mostly normal or near-normal arthroscopic and biopsy results. A separate study of 18 patients who received AMIC also found largely positive clinical outcomes and biopsy results indicating hyaline-like tissue, though further large prospective studies are still needed to directly compare the techniques.
Percutaneous fixation of bilateral anterior column acetabular fractures: A ca...Apollo Hospitals
The treatment of displaced acetabular fractures with open
reduction and internal fixation has gained general acceptance. This is done either by anterior, posterior or combined approaches depending on the location of these fractures. These procedures may be associated with various complications like significant blood loss, infection, lengthy operative times, heterotopic ossification and neurovascular complications.
There are clinical situations where open reduction is either
not feasible (due to associated medical problems) or when the fractures are not significantly displaced, then minimal invasive means of internal fixation of these fractures seems to be an attractive option. Percutaneous screw fixation of the anterior column of the acetabulum has been a challenging task because of its unique anatomy (narrow corridor of bone) and risk of intra-articular penetration.
The document discusses guidelines for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis for orthopedic trauma patients. It notes that many existing guidelines do not adequately address trauma patients, who have higher DVT risks due to immobility from injury. A review found that 77% of patients transferred to the authors' hospitals did not receive pre-transfer DVT prophylaxis, including 67% of hip fracture patients despite being at high risk. The authors developed new DVT prophylaxis guidelines for orthopedic trauma patients to help standardize care and lower DVT risks.

“A Simple Method to Assess Bone Fill through Digital Subtraction Technique and Morphometric Analysis”- Guest lecture as a part of Dr NTRUHS Zonal CDE programme at Army College of Dental Sciences, Hyderabad, India on 18/1/2014.
This document discusses various imaging techniques used in periodontics, including radiography, digital radiography, subtraction radiography, panoramic imaging, CT scans, MRI, and bone scanning. Radiography is described as the most common and important technique for assessing periodontal disease as it provides information on bone levels, furcation involvement, and other factors. Digital radiography provides advantages over traditional films such as instant viewing and reduced radiation exposure.
Is Medial Ridge Sign a Reliable Indicator Glenoid Bone Loss-Dr. Dhanasekarapr...TheRightDoctors
The document discusses the "medial ridge sign" seen on CT scans of patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations as an indicator of glenoid bone loss. The study aimed to evaluate if the medial ridge sign reliably indicates significant bone loss. It found the sign had high sensitivity but low specificity for significant loss. While the sign suggested some bone loss, glenoid bone loss measurements were still needed to determine if augmentation was required rather than just Bankart repair. So the medial ridge sign is not reliable in deciding between the two surgical procedures.
This document provides information on osteoporosis, including its definition, etiology, frequency, diagnosis, and treatment. It defines osteoporosis as a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and fracture risk. Risk factors include medications, lifestyle, diet, and genetics. Approximately one in five women and one in eight men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Diagnosis involves measuring bone mineral density (BMD) via tests like DXA scans, with BMD T-scores used to determine osteoporosis severity. Treatment aims to increase BMD and reduce fracture risk.
The document discusses digital subtraction angiography (DSA), a medical imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels. It provides an overview of the history and development of DSA, including key contributors and technological advances. Some of the main points covered include:
- DSA involves injecting contrast dye and digitally subtracting bone structures from images to clearly depict blood vessels
- It has been improved over time through the introduction of techniques like dual energy subtraction, temporal filtering, and more recently 3D and 4D DSA
- Advances like these have helped increase diagnostic accuracy for evaluating conditions like intracranial aneurysms
1) DXA scanning is a reliable and low-radiation method to measure bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, hip, and wrist to diagnose osteoporosis.
2) DXA can also detect vertebral fractures (VFA) and measure whole body composition, abdominal fat, and aortic calcification.
3) Interpretation of DXA results requires attention to potential variability between devices, accurate placement of regions of interest, and use of appropriate reference data since BMD can be under or overestimated in certain patients.
CBCT imaging allows dentists to visualize anatomy in 3 dimensions. It has many applications including implant planning, assessing impacted teeth, orthodontic evaluation, and examining maxillofacial trauma and lesions. CBCT provides important information such as bone quantity and quality, location of vital structures, and relationship of pathologies to surrounding tissues. It also allows for accurate pre-surgical planning through tools like radiographic tracing and implant simulation. CBCT has advantages over medical CT such as smaller size, lower radiation dose, and software tailored for dentistry.

Towards fine-precision automated immobilization in maskless radiosurgeryOlalekan Ogunmolu
This document summarizes a presentation on developing an automated patient immobilization system for head and neck cancer radiotherapy without the use of masks. It describes current radiotherapy techniques, issues with positioning errors, and an initial study using a soft robot system with an air bladder and visual feedback to automatically control a mannequin's head motion in one degree of freedom. Nonparametric analysis was used to model the system dynamics and design a PID controller to track position trajectories within 14 seconds, demonstrating a potential solution for accurate in-treatment positioning and motion compensation.
The document describes a study that aimed to reconstruct the 3D structure of the tibial nerve through micro-CT imaging. Tibial nerve samples were stained with calcium chloride and scanned with micro-CT to obtain 2D images. The nerve bundle contours were then extracted from these images using an automated algorithm. This allowed for the successful construction of a 3D model of the tibial nerve bundles. The 3D reconstruction provides detailed visualization of the nerve's internal structure and geometry. This technique is an improvement over previous methods and lays the foundation for further research on peripheral nerve anatomy and repair.
Cephalometric analysis has evolved from traditional 2D radiographs to 3D digital techniques. Broadbent is considered the father of radiographic cephalometry for developing the technique in 1937. While conventional cephalometry is useful for diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluation, it has disadvantages like errors and manual processing. Photocephalometry introduced in 1970s allowed measuring soft tissue changes but was complex. Digital cephalometry since 1980s has advantages like dose reduction and storage. 3D modeling using CT, stereophotogrammetry and laser scans now allows accurate anatomical models for pre-operative simulation and custom implants. Stereolithography is used to produce 3D printed models but has limitations of cost and radiation dose. 3D navigation during
Broadbent published papers in 1937 describing craniofacial measurements in children, establishing him as the father of radiographic cephalometry.

Registration of Mandibular movements .pdffatmamahanna
Studies on the masticatory system have been conducted for decades, but so far, these studies have only recorded fixed locations or isolated mandibular positions (e.g., protrusion, excursion, etc.). The mandible is the primary moving part of the masticatory system.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Medical 3D image segmentation is an important image processing step in medical image analysis.

Medical 3D image segmentation is an important image processing step in medical image analysis.
Automatic - Quickly - Accurate
Segmentation methods with high precision (including high reproducibility) and low bias are a main goal in surgical planning
Segmentations can be thought of as probabilities of voxels belonging to particular classes.
A key problem in image analysis is understanding the content of the image, i.e. subdividing the image in regions at a pixel level so that each pixel belongs to a specific region > > semantic segmentation and can be conducted either manually or automatically;
manual segmentation is exposed to intra- and inter-observer variability
– U-shaped architecture of the two-dimensional convolutional network (2D CNN) model used for supervised learning. Algorithm model where blue rectangles represent feature maps with the size and the number of feature maps indicated. White boxes represent copied feature maps. The number of feature maps doubles at each pooling. The architecture represented in this model contains 32 feature maps in the first and last layer of the network and 4 layers in the contracting/expanding path. The purpose of the contracting path is to capture the context of the input image in order to be able to do segmentation. The purpose of the expanding path is to enable precise localization combined with contextual information from the contracting path. The color-coded arrows denote different operations in this neural network.
Random horizontal flipping of the images was used for data augmentation to generalize on left and right sided images
4-fold Crossvalidation
Cross-validation is a technique to evaluate predictive models by partitioning the original sample into a training set to train the model, and a test set to evaluate it. In k-fold cross-validation, the original sample is randomly partitioned into k equal size subsamples. Of the k subsamples, a single subsample is retained as the validation data for testing the model, and the remaining k-1 subsamples are used as training data. The cross-validation process is then repeated k times (the folds), with each of the k subsamples used exactly once as the validation data. The k results from the folds can then be averaged (or otherwise combined) to produce a single estimation. The advantage of this method is that all observations are used for both training and validation, and each observation is used for validation exactly once.For classification problems, one typically uses stratified k-fold cross-validation, in which the folds are selected so that each fold contains roughly the same proportions of class labels.In repeated cross-validation, the cross-validation procedure is repeated n times, yielding n random partitions of the original sample. The n results are again averaged (or otherwise combined) to produce a single estimation.OpenML generates train-test splits given the number of folds and repeats, so that different users can evaluate their models with the same splits. Stratification is applied by default for classification problems (unless otherwise specified). The splits are given as part of the task description as an ARFF file with the row id, fold number, repeat number and the class (TRAIN or TEST). The uploaded predictions should be labeled with the fold and repeat number of the test instance, so that the results can be properly evaluated and aggregated. OpenML stores both the per fold/repeat results and the aggregated scores.
Figure 4 – Diagram of the two-dimensional convolutional network (2D CNN) transfer learning model. The 2D CNN model used in the paper was pretrained through supervised learning on axial 2D fat-suppressed proton-density weighted slices from shoulder MRI to obtain a segmentation mask classifier (yellow rectangle) using a dataset (100 total, 100 labeled). Parameters were extracted from the pretrained model and applied through transfer learning to another dataset (45 total, 6 labeled) of axial 3D water-only Dixon-based sequence axial slices of shoulder MRI to obtain a new segmentation mask classifier (green rectangle).
Transfer learning has been used in medical image classification based on CNNs extensively and it has been shown to improve generalization for the task where limited number of samples exists
By transfer learning we were able to train a small dataset and a different MR sequence
* based on clinical practice at our institution: a patient with < 20% GBL would undergo arthroscopic Bankart repair, while patients with > 20% would undergo bone augmentation surgery, such as a Latarjet procedure
Evaluating a standard machine learning model - usually classify our predictions into four categories: true positives, false positives, true negatives, and false negatives. However, for the dense prediction task of image segmentation, it's not immediately clear what counts as a "true positive" and, more generally, how we can evaluate our predictions.
The lower values for the glenoid and scapula segmentations in comparison with the humeral segmentations in both studies are likely related to the complex anatomy and morphological variability of the glenoid and scapula

For relatively small data sets, internal validation of prediction models by bootstrap techniques may not be sufficient and indicative for the model's performance in future patients. External validation is essential before implementing prediction models in clinical practice.
