Accurate diagnosis is critical for treatment planning. Although open biopsy was historically considered the gold standard, core needle biopsy (CNB) has emerged as a minimally invasive and reliable diagnostic method with a favorable safety profile. The primary objective was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of image-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) for musculoskeletal lesions.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 426 patients who underwent image-guided CNB for musculoskeletal lesions at a single tertiary referral center between January 2014 and December 2020. Patient demographics, biopsy characteristics, and diagnostic outcomes were analyzed. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and area under the ROC curve (AUC).ResultsMost patients were adults (82.4%) and male (56.6%). The lower limb was the most common biopsy region (43.2%), with the trunk (26.3%), upper limb (15.5%), and pelvis (14.3%) following in order of frequency. CNB demonstrated a sensitivity of 98.8%, specificity of 72.3%, negative predictive value of 99.0%, and overall accuracy of 82.3% (AUC = 0.855).ConclusionImage-guided CNB provides high diagnostic sensitivity and excellent negative predictive value for musculoskeletal lesions, with a very low complication rate. While it is effective as a first-line diagnostic tool, limitations remain in specificity and tumor subtype confirmation, particularly in heterogeneous or necrotic lesions. Standardized protocols and multidisciplinary interpretation are essential to optimize accuracy.</p>","PeriodicalId":16608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":"33 3","pages":"10225536251411641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145833937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite advancements, a gap remains in understanding the biomechanical strengths of these techniques, especially concerning correction angles. The study aims to compare the stability of the construct for different degrees of osteotomy.Materials and methodsEighteen synthetic tibias were osteotomised based on the dome and modified oblique osteotomy technique. For dome osteotomy, the osteotomy site was fixed with two Kirschner wires 2.0 mm for different degrees of osteotomy, which were 10^o, 20^o, and 30^o. Three samples from each construct were tested for rotational force. For modified osteotomy, two screws 3.5 mm were used to fix the osteotomy site and tested for rotational forces.ResultsThe constructs were stiffest at ten degrees for rotational force, both in dome and modified oblique osteotomy (0.39 Nmm and 0.4 Nmm). The stiffness of dome osteotomy in correction angles of 10° and 20° is almost similar (<i>p</i> > 0.95), and it reduces significantly at 30°(<i>p</i> < 0.001). There were significant differences in stiffness of the oblique osteotomy construct when comparing 10° with 20° (<i>p</i> = 0.003), 10° with 30°(<i>p</i> < 0.001) and 20° with 30° (<i>p</i> < 0.001) correction angles. This is further proved by comparing the means of stiffness between the two methods, where dome osteotomy did better compared to modified oblique osteotomy at 20° and similar at 10°.ConclusionIn performing proximal tibia osteotomy, we recommend limiting the acute angle of correction to 20°, and we suggest that for a larger correction angle, dome osteotomy exhibits better biomechanical stiffness. An angle exceeding 30^o will predispose to higher rate of non-union or malunion as the stiffness of the surgical construct drops significantly, making it less resistant to rotational forces.</p>","PeriodicalId":16608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":"33 3","pages":"10225536251369145"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145131001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the ultrasonic bone scalpel group (<i>n</i> = 20) and the high-speed drill group (<i>n</i> = 20). Surgeons could not be blinded due to the nature of the intervention, but outcome assessors were blinded to group allocation where feasible. Surgical time, open-door time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage loss, post-operative complications, and functional outcomes were compared between the two groups.ResultsNo statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of intraoperative blood loss, post-operative complications, screw migration, plate fracture, or spinal cord expansion. However, the ultrasonic bone scalpel group demonstrated significantly shorter surgical time, open-door time, and reduced postoperative drainage loss compared to the high-speed drill group (<i>p</i> < .05). The reduced drainage volume may be attributed to thermal sealing of small vessels by the UBS rather than solely reduced tissue trauma. No significant differences were observed in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, bony union at the hinge, or Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score improvement rates between the two groups at 1 week, 3 months, and 1 year postoperatively. While the UBS group showed numerical reductions in complication rates (e.g., dural tear: 0% vs 5%, <i>p</i> = .311), these differences did not reach statistical significance, likely due to the limited sample size.ConclusionsThe study concluded that USB significantly reduces operation time, open-door time, and postoperative drainage loss.

A model of the L1-sacral segment of the human body was developed using the finite-element method. After verifying its effectiveness, a postoperative model was developed for treating vertebral tuberculosis at the L4-L5 level, which involved implanting an interbody titanium mesh and securing it with pedicle screws. Subsequently, the internal fixation materials and bone stress at L4 and L5 were analyzed. The verification of the finite element model proved to be effective. The titanium mesh exhibited a maximum von Mises stress of 477.9 MPa during forward bending and a minimum of 229.9 MPa during backward extension. The stress concentration was primarily observed at the cut edges, screws, and connections. Similarly, the rod experiences a maximum stress of 235.8 MPa when leaning to the right and a minimum of 101.4 MPa during backward extension. High-stress areas were identified on the screws and connecting rods. In the titanium mesh model, the maximum von Mises stresses on L4 and L5 reached 215.9 MPa during forward bending and exceeded 90 MPa in five directions. In the treatment of lumbar tuberculosis, titanium mesh fusion and pedicle screw-reinforced fixation carry the risk of prosthesis subsidence and screw breakage.

The expression profiles of lncRNA DUXAP8 and miR-24-3p in serum and cells were analyzed using RT-qPCR. Additionally, osteogenic marker expression at mRNA and protein levels was assessed. The proliferation ability of hBMSCs was evaluated by CCK-8 assay, with cell motility and invasiveness assessed by Transwell assay. The regulatory relationship between lncRNA DUXAP8 and miR-24-3p was verified by Dual-Luciferase.ResultsSerum lncRNA DUXAP8 levels were reduced in OP patients, with an AUC of 0.967 (95% CI: 0.931-1.000), sensitivity 0.914, and specificity 0.943. Inhibition of lncRNA DUXAP8 decreased osteogenic markers (mRNA/protein) and hBMSCs proliferation, migration, invasion, while overexpression had opposite effects.
