Summary: The novel guidance technique and instrumentation system for minimally invasive short-stemmed total shoulder arthroplasty achieves similar accuracy to traditional open techniques while reducing complications, potentially leading to improved rehabilitation and functional outcomes for patients with moderate arthritis.

Summary: The increased utilization of direct anterior and anterolateral approaches to the hip joint is attributed to muscle-sparing techniques, accurate acetabular component positioning with fluoroscopy guidance, developments in implants and instrumentation, expedited rehabilitation, and patients' expectations. This study demonstrates a hybrid modification of the traditional Smith-Peterson and Watson-Jones approaches on a standard operating room table. Precise anatomical knowledge and clear surgical goals can minimize complications and facilitate visualization and instrumentation placement in the direct anterior approach to the hip joint.

Summary: Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) via a direct superior approach (DSA) had shorter hospital stay and time to discharge from inpatient physiotherapy teams compared to those undergoing THA by a posterolateral approach (PLA). There were no significant differences in operating time, pain levels, satisfaction, radiological findings, and leg length discrepancy between the two approaches.

Summary: Spherical periacetabular osteotomy (SPO) is a novel surgical technique that combines patient-specific preoperative planning to improve hip joint morphology and promote rapid bone union postoperatively. However, some patients may experience complications such as loss of correction after surgery, which requires close monitoring.

Summary: This systematic review investigated factors influencing the surgical outcome of minimally invasive surgery for total hip arthroplasty (MIS THA). The study found that older age and greater BMI may have a negative impact on the prognosis of MIS THA, and the clinical outcome is strongly influenced by the preoperative status of patients.

Summary: This article presents a minimally invasive biochimney technique used in a patient with postrepair mitral stenosis, in which a composite of bioprosthetic valve and vascular graft was sutured on the extremely narrow mitral annulus. Reoperative mitral valve replacement can be challenging due to the narrowness of the mitral annulus.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of treating Crowe III-IV DDH with direct anterior approach (DAA) versus posterolateral approach (PLA). The DAA group showed significant improvements in HHS score, WOMAC score, hip abductor strength, hip flexor strength, and limp recovery compared to the PLA group. Improved clinical outcomes without increased complication risks can be achieved with DAA when surgeons are specialized in this approach.

Summary: While RMIE and tMIE showed no difference in 90-day mortality and readmission rates, RMIE demonstrated better outcomes in terms of positive surgical margins, number of lymph nodes evaluated, and conversion to open rates.

Summary: Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) is an excellent surgical option for patients with varus knee osteoarthritis, preoperative 3-dimensional planning is essential, and strict protection of neurovascular structures is required during the procedure.

Summary: In this study, a patient-specific surgical guide using 3D printing technology was developed for minimally invasive mini-hemilaminectomy-corpectomy. The results showed that this guide provided accurate and safe surgical procedures, making it a potential alternative to traditional techniques.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of the modified minimally invasive anterolateral approach on gluteus minimus and gluteus medius lesions and investigate the effectiveness of compensatory strategies. The results showed that femoral implantation in hip extension did not reduce the rate of gluteal lesions, but releasing the superior gluteal nerve branch may help to preserve the innervation of the tensor fasciae latae. Furthermore, some rare lesions of the proximal pelvic muscles were observed.

Summary: This study found similar improvements in gait kinematics and walking speed 24 months after conventional and minimally invasive multilevel surgery for children with diplegic cerebral palsy. Both surgery types led to improved GPS and walking speed at 6 months postoperatively, with walking speed returning to preoperative levels by 12 months. The number of procedures per child and incidence of surgical adverse events were comparable between the two surgery types.
