erm evaluation of chip allograft incorporation in revision THA to underscore its successful clinical use. As larger defects were associated with fibrous ingrowth, structural allografts may be superior for larger defects in terms of long-term outcomes.
A 70-year-old active woman presented with lateral ankle instability 40 years after a lateral ankle reconstruction procedure. Examination demonstrated gross instability, and advanced imaging revealed attenuation of her previous graft. RK-33 She underwent anatomic reconstruction through a modified Brostrom-Gould technique and was able to return to hiking without pain.
Recurrent lateral ankle instability after reconstruction represents a unique challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Utilization of a modified Brostrom-Gould procedure with suture tape augmentation is a promising alternative to allograft or autograft reconstruction for patients with active lifestyle goals in the context of recurrent instability.

We describe a patient who self-amputated his hand using a log splitter, because of a long-standing belief that the limb "did not belong to him." On admission, he refused replantation and was found to be nonpsychotic. He was diagnosed with body integrity identity disorder (BIID) and declared competent to make his own medical decisions. A revision amputation was performed.
BIID is a challenging diagnosis that physicians treating traumatic injuries should be aware of. Many ethicists support elective amputation as a definitive treatment, because of potential harm reduction and because BIID does not respond to conservative modalities such as pharmacotherapy.

We report a rare case of femoral-sided avulsion fracture of both the anteromedial and posterolateral bundle attachments of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). We performed an arthroscopic double-bundle pull-out repair. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient had no deformity, laxity of the knee, and no limitations when engaging in various sports activities.
An avulsion fracture of both the anteromedial and posterolateral bundle attachments is a rare injury. Arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation demonstrated successful achievement of both bone union and good ACL function.

A 14-year-old girl with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis underwent imaging in preparation for scoliosis surgery. Posteroanterior traction radiographs showed 4 lumbar vertebrae, while the standing film showed 5. Reconciliation with the component radiographs used for the traction showed the discrepancy was caused by a software error. She underwent surgical correction, and her recovery has been uncomplicated.
Image stitching errors can lead to false depiction of structural abnormalities. Radiology technicians and clinicians should be cautious when reviewing digitally stitched images. We recommend that technicians label stitched images and indicate the overlapping region to assist with radiographic assessment.

Longitudinal follow-up of a 53-year-old woman with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) Type III and concurrent bilateral distal radius fractures is reported. She had a right-sided displaced fracture and a left-sided minimally displaced fracture. Operative management of the displaced fracture showed adequate healing in 10 weeks. The minimally displaced fracture failed nonoperative management but did adequately heal after operative intervention.
Early surgical intervention of distal radius fractures may be considered in patients with severe OI, even in fractures with minimal displacement. This is likely particularly important with patients who are heavily reliant on their upper extremities for mobility.

Inappropriate sagittal plane correction can result in an increased risk of osteoarthritis progression after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Individual and postural variations in sagittal pelvic tilt, along with acetabular deformity, affect joint contact mechanics in dysplastic hips and may impact the direction and degree of acetabular correction. Finite-element analyses that account for physiologic pelvic tilt may provide valuable insight into the effect of PAO on the contact mechanics of dysplastic hips, which may lead to improved acetabular correction during PAO.
We performed virtual PAO using finite-element models with reference to the standing pelvic position to clarify (1) whether lateral rotation of the acetabulum normalizes the joint contact pressure, (2) risk factors for abnormal contact pressure after lateral rotation of the acetabulum, and (3) whether additional anterior rotation of the acetabulum further reduces contact pressure.
Between 2016 and 2020, 85 patients (92 hips) underwent PAO to tis virtual PAO study suggests that biomechanics-based planning for PAO should incorporate not only the morphology of the hip but also the physiologic pelvic tilt in the weightbearing position in order to customize acetabular reorientation for each patient.
