Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the side-to-side difference in intraindividual rotation alignment of patients with bilateral varus-type knee osteoarthritis (OA) and compare it with control subjects. The results showed significant differences in the rotation alignment of the femur and tibia between the OA patients and the control group, indicating more pronounced retroversion in the femur and more internal rotation in the tibia in patients with OA. However, the overall lower limb rotation differences between the two groups were not statistically significant.

Summary: Knee joint distraction treatment can partially normalize subchondral bone in the first two years after treatment, as indicated by the thinning of the subchondral cortical bone plate and decrease in subchondral trabecular bone density.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether changes in hip rotation position and the application of isometric hip external rotation force during pelvic drop (PD) can affect muscle activity in subjects with Genu Valgum Deformity (GVD). The results showed that changing the positions of hip rotation and applying isometric hip external rotation force can alter muscle activity ratios. The study also found differences in muscle activity between subjects with GVD and healthy participants.

Summary: This study introduces an expert-supervised registration method for the multiparameter description of knee joint components using complementary image sets obtained by serial imaging. The method demonstrates low registration errors and supports further research on healthy and osteoarthritic knee joints.

Summary: Despite similar incidence of cartilage ailments, the knee orthopedics field has greater funding and more effective treatment options compared to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Translational research can drive the development of clinical products for the TMJ, which lags behind knee orthopedics in terms of research output and total joint replacement frequency. More funding opportunities, training programs, and federal guidance could lead to novel therapeutics benefiting millions of people with TMJ disorders.

Summary: This study reviewed the results of a simple and reliable method named "1 mm equals 1 degrees" for treating genu varum deformity. By measuring 97 cases of opening wedge osteotomy, the study found that one degree of correction corresponded with one degree of opening, achieving the desired overcorrection in 92% of cases.

Summary: This study aimed to diagnose degenerative joint disease using high-resolution CBCT images in asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects. The results showed a high number of radiographic findings in the asymptomatic control group, suggesting the need for additional imaging criteria to properly classify DJD.

Summary: This study examined the morphological characteristics of the lateral knee in varus knee osteoarthritis (OA) using radiological parameters. The results showed that lateral plateau widening (LPW) and proximal fibula curvature (PFC) were increased in the knee OA group, while fibula height (FH) was decreased. LPW, PFC, and FH were correlated with knee OA occurrence. The findings suggest that changes in LPW, PFC, and FH could provide a more comprehensive assessment of varus knee OA.

Summary: This study compared the quantification of femorotibial joint space using different imaging techniques, and found that weight-bearing cone beam CT combined with 3D-analysis allows for more detailed assessment of the joint space, demonstrating significantly more bone-on-bone appositions compared to weight-bearing conventional radiographs.

Summary: In this study, a triple contrast agent was used to image and segment cadaveric knee joints in CT. The results showed that large BiNPs do not diffuse into cartilage, facilitating straightforward segmentation. The concentration of CA4+ was significantly higher in femoral cartilage than in tibial cartilage, corresponding to the biomechanical differences observed. This suggests that triple contrast agent CT has potential for assessing cartilage morphology and condition in a clinical setting.

Summary: Complex deformities around the knee joint are usually severe and can affect multiple planes with varying severity. The occurrence and progression of these deformities are influenced by local and systemic factors, necessitating precise planning and selection of appropriate treatment methods. Different types of osteotomies and fixation methods are available to correct these deformities based on their type, severity, and aetiology.

Summary: In this comprehensive review, recent studies on the Q angle and its changes were evaluated. The review examined various conditions including measurement techniques, symptomatic and nonsymptomatic groups, differences between men and women, unilateral versus bilateral Q angles, and Q angle differences in adolescent boys and girls. The results suggest that Q angles are more significant in symptomatic patients and that young adult females have higher mean Q angles than males.

Summary: This study compared South Korea's reimbursement criteria for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with other appropriateness criteria and found that HIRA's criteria were more effective in providing healthcare access to patients in need of TKA. However, the study also identified the lower age limit and patient-reported outcome measures in other criteria as useful tools for improving the appropriateness of the current reimbursement criteria.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in clinical outcomes according to patellar resurfacing in patients who underwent bilateral TKA. The results showed that patellar resurfacing is not necessary for normal patellae, and comparative studies between resurfaced and damaged patellae are needed.
