Summary: This case series provides additional evidence for the safety and effectiveness of cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRF) of the femoral nerve to the trochanter for offering long-term pain relief in patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). All patients experienced at least two months of relief, with most patients experiencing ongoing relief from the procedure.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between femoral lateralization and femoral neck-shaft angle after intramedullary nail fixation for per trochanteric fractures. The results showed that patients in the PMCS group had the smallest change in femoral lateralization, maintained valgus alignment of the neck-shaft angle, and had good functional recovery. The NP group had a larger change in femoral lateralization, while the NMCS group had the largest change.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of imaging position and sex on NSA measurement and provide reference values. The findings showed no significant difference in NSA between the right and left in standing radiographs, but significant asymmetry was found in supine radiographs. Further research is needed to confirm these results.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to measure the femoral neck-shaft angle (NSA) on computed tomography (CT) images in patients with femoracetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and explore its relationship with anterior capsular thickness (ACT). A total of 150 patients were included in the study, and the results showed a significant negative correlation between NSA and ACT.

Summary: This study examined the risk factors associated with intraoperative greater trochanteric fractures in elderly patients with hip fractures. The results suggest that a shorter prothrombin time, shorter preoperative waiting time, and changes in perioperative settings may increase the risk of greater trochanteric fractures during surgery.

Summary: The study evaluated the influence of the femoral neck shaft angle on the location of femoral stress fracture and found that there was a significant difference in FNSA between fractured and normal femurs. The FNSA was higher in patients with femoral head stress fractures, and could be used as a predictive factor for the risk of femoral head stress fractures.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between femoral torsion angle (FTA) and femoral bowing angle (FBA) in a southern Chinese population. The results showed that increased FTA led to a greater lateral FBA. This finding has implications for orthopedic surgery, total knee arthroplasty, and patellofemoral pressure distribution.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between the morphology of the femur or acetabulum and gluteus medius pathology, as well as to analyze the outcomes of isolated arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in patients with radiographic gluteus medius tear. The results showed that lower NSa and higher LCEa were associated with gluteus medius pathology. Isolated arthroscopic treatment of FAI for patients with radiographic gluteus medius tear can achieve satisfactory patient-reported outcomes.

Summary: Our study found that abnormalities in the anatomical structure of the femur play an important role in the development of medial knee osteoarthritis, including varus alignment of the femur, femoral shaft bowing, and femoral condylar dysplasia being related to the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate joint deformities of the femur and tibia before surgery to determine whether to use HTO alone to correct lower limb alignment.

Summary: The current study demonstrated a correlation between sagittal femoral bowing angle and coronal femoral bowing angle in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with patients with sagittal femoral bowing usually not presenting coronal femoral bowing. Sagittal femoral bowing angle could affect femoral component alignment in the sagittal plane, while coronal femoral bowing angle could affect femoral component alignment in the coronal plane. Age, BMI, and gender were not correlated with sagittal femoral or coronal femoral bowing angles.

Summary: This systematic review aims to determine differences in kneeling kinematics as a function of TKR design. The results suggest that bicruciate-stabilised fixed-bearing designs may achieve more flexion, while cruciate-retaining rotating-platform designs achieve the least. However, firm conclusions are limited due to substantial heterogeneity in the mean estimates.

Summary: This study compared the kneeling kinematics of three TKA designs, finding that PS-FB and CR-RP designs have increased maximal flexion but achieved in different ways. The PS-FB design uses a cam-post to prevent posterior impingement, while the CR-RP design shows surprising external rotation likely due to decoupling of the polyethylene bearing. Individual patient kinematics within all designs showed high degrees of variability.

Summary: This systematic review examines the effects of neuromuscular gait modification strategies on medial knee joint load in people with medial knee osteoarthritis. It finds that gait strategies such as ipsilateral trunk lean, toe-out, and toe-in can potentially reduce indicators of medial knee joint load. However, the certainty of evidence is low, and there is limited research on interventions over a longer period of time.

Summary: This study investigated the immediate effects of medially-posted foot orthoses on gait biomechanics and pain in females with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). The results showed that the orthoses did not immediately alter gait biomechanics or provide clinically meaningful pain reduction. Therefore, there is uncertainty regarding the clinical benefit of orthoses in the management of GTPS.
