In , Wang et al. introduce a modified technique for hip transposition that uses patient-specific guides and a 3D-printed femoral lengthening and rotation prosthesis so that surgeons can integrate limb length adjustments and rotational corrections into a single-stage reconstruction, with no major complications.

"In our series, (the 6 surviving) patients achieved a median MSTS-93 score of 24 at the 36-month follow-up, with most able to ambulate independently despite residual limb length discrepancy (ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 cm)," the authors write.

"Given the challenging nature of this procedure, these are promising early results, particularly regarding (the low rate of) operative complications or early failures, and I applaud the authors on their efforts and ingenuity," writes Benjamin K. Potter in a commentary.

"Many physicians in academic medicine have received a phone call or email from an administrator that goes something like this: 'I need you to see this person. She is the CEO of Widgets Incorporated, and she is a big donor. She should be seen today,'" writes Casey Jo Humbyrd MD in her latest column. "I believe there are key, ethical norms that must guide how physicians and hospitals approach patients as potential donors, and all too often, these norms are violated."

In a mouse model featuring a 1.8-mm femoral defect with fixation, Reinkemeier et al. found that mice treated with oral S1P lyase inhibitor 4-deoxypyridoxine for 5 weeks exhibited greater bone formation and improved defect consolidation, as well as increases in osteoclast activity, osteoblast differentiation, cellular proliferation, and endothelial activity.

"Taken together, these findings suggest that the improved defect healing observed in treated animals results not from a single cellular mechanism, but from a coordinated interplay between bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells, proliferative responses, and vascular supply," the authors write.

"Given the lack of effective adjuvant therapies to prevent nonunion, these preliminary results are exciting," writes Alexander Tatara in a commentary. "Although it will take substantial investment from researchers, institutions, and the public, data such as these are starting to reveal a possible path toward improving outcomes after fracture through immunomodulation."

🚩 Free to read through August 16: Social media has become a near ubiquitous part of modern discourse, shaping people's perceptions and choices when seeking medical care. In the latest , Dr. Mitchell Fourman invites Drs. Alan Daniels and Patrick Herron to discuss the risks and opportunities for orthopaedic surgeons who wish to use social media as a medium for sharing their opinions and expertise with patients, colleagues, and potentially millions of people around the world.

"PROMs are among the most powerful tools that orthopaedic surgery has for understanding what treatment means in a patient’s life. When used well, they bring us closer to the outcomes that matter most to our patients. When used poorly—as thoughtlessly applied thresholds serving as individual-level cutoffs stripped of context—they can communicate a warped clinical picture," write Ahlfinger & Bozic in . "The standard we should hold ourselves to is not whether our patients crossed a threshold; it is whether they got their lives back."

🔓: Although joint aspiration is considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing PJI, Borucki et al. show how a combined approach of core biopsy + aspiration is superior due its sensitivity (93% vs. 79%), specificity (97% vs. 73%), and feasibility as a minimally invasive procedure that only requires local anesthesia.

"Core biopsy (is) used across various medical specialties, but has not yet been widely applied in orthopaedics," the authors write. "The addition of core biopsy to the standard diagnostic approach (for PJI) may enable earlier and more definitive diagnoses, (and) could save patients (from) unnecessary revision surgeries and their accompanying complications."
