Summary: Lisfranc injuries are rare, especially bilateral cases, with limited published case reports. This report presents a case of bilateral Lisfranc injury in a healthy 17-year-old woman, diagnosed and treated successfully. A brief review of similar cases and an overview of Lisfranc injuries are also provided.

Summary: The purpose of this report is to demonstrate a new technique for creating a 4-rod lumbosacral construct when stacked S2AI screws are not possible due to concurrent treatment of sacroiliitis. The technique involves using a combined S2AI and subcrestal iliac approach to achieve the construct, while providing biomechanical support to the S2AI screws and treating the sacroiliitis.

Summary: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a major cause of chronic lower back pain and radiculopathy. Diagnosis involves provocation tests and anesthetic injections, with a rare complication of unintended symptoms due to extravasation of injected material. One patient reported experiencing orgasms after receiving diagnostic SIJ injections, possibly due to injected material affecting the nearby pudendal nerve responsible for sexual arousal and orgasm.

Summary: Precast concrete structure (PCS) towers are widely used as support structures for onshore wind turbines. The shear performance of the vertical grouting joints significantly affects the mechanical behavior of PCS towers. Experimental results showed that U-shaped shear reinforcement can increase the ultimate and residual shear capacities of joints and improve ductility. Vertical reinforcement has a limited effect on the ultimate shear capacities of vertical grouting joints but can improve the residual shear capacities and limit internal crack development.

Summary: The study found that patients with bilateral SI joint vacuum signs experienced a significant change in PI between the supine and standing positions, suggesting potential increasing motion across the SI joint due to significant joint degeneration.

Summary: The study found that prefabricated walls exhibited higher lateral capacity, better post-cracking performance, and greater displacement ductility compared to cast-in-place walls. The construction method significantly influenced the failure mode and crack distribution of the walls. Additionally, prefabricated walls with vertical joints enhanced seismic performance in terms of shear capacity and ductility.

Summary: The study found that H2S donors can inhibit mechanical allodynia and functional deficits caused by joint degeneration, while CORM-2 and CoPP only prevent allodynia. The Nrf2 pathway plays a key role in the analgesic effects of DADS and GYY4137, and co-administration may produce better antiallodynic effects.

Summary: Urinomas are rare complications that can occur without trauma to the urinary system. Appropriate imaging is crucial for timely diagnosis and management. This case report describes a 31-year-old female patient without past medical history or known trauma, presenting with right flank pain, abdominal pain, and intermittent fevers. Point-of-care ultrasound and computed tomography revealed bilateral perinephric collections. Treatment included intravenous antibiotics and placement of a ureteral stent.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between triceps surae muscle stiffness and passive ankle joint stiffness. The results showed that the material properties of the triceps surae affect passive ankle joint stiffness, especially when the muscles are stretched and body size is taken into account.

Summary: The study investigated the influence of different weld structures with prefabricated bosses on cryogenic shear performance in 2219 aluminum alloy T-structure. It was found that the T-joint with prefabricated bosses on the skin obtained higher cryogenic shear strength compared to the one with bosses on the stringer.

Summary: The sacroiliac (SI) joint is important for locomotor activity and childbirth, with dysfunction contributing to low back pain. Certain populations, such as overweight individuals and pregnant women, are at higher risk for vertebral joint deformities. Anatomical variations in the SI joint morphology play a significant role in orthopaedic pathologies.

Summary: Sacral fractures, a type of pelvic ring injury, may require surgical treatment for certain subtypes. Spinopelvic fixation can restore stability and accelerate healing. In cases of fragility sacral fractures following prior lumbosacral fusion, percutaneous iliosacral osteosynthesis can achieve sacroiliac joint stabilization and fusion.

Summary: This study evaluates the early clinical and radiographic results of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion using a novel fenestrated self-harvesting porous S2-alar iliac (S2AI) screw. The results show that the use of this screw is safe and feasible, but long-term follow-up with a larger patient cohort is needed to determine its durability and efficacy in achieving SIJ arthrodesis and preventing SIJ dysfunction.
