The minimal sacral vertebral tilt(Smin), maximal thoracolumbar vertebral tilt(TLmax), and minimal thoracic vertebral tilt (Tmin) were recorded. The concept of lumbosacral lordosis (LSL) was introduced, and the Ferguson method was utilized to measure sagittal spinal parameters both in anatomical segmentation (Ferguson L1-S2, Ferguson T1-T12) and functional segmentation (Ferguson LSLmax, Ferguson TKmax). The subjects were grouped based on pelvic incidence (PI) and TLmax separately, and the mean and standard deviation of each parameter were calculated. Chi-square tests were conducted for statistical analysis.\u0000Results: 1. Based on PI grouping: PI for all subjects was 45.4 ± 9.5°(21.7-86.4°). Group A consisted of 117 subjects with a mean PI of 34.7 ± 4.4°, Group B had 158 subjects with a mean PI of 45.2 ± 2.9°, and Group C included 113 subjects with a mean PI of 56.7 ± 5.8°.

All patients were female. A template model was created by averaging the normal pelvises into a symmetrical and isotropic mesh. Next, 100 homologous models were generated by fitting the pelvic data of each group of patients to the template model. Principal component analysis was performed on the coordinates of each vertex (15,235 vertices) of the pelvic homologous model. In addition, a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated from the sensitivity of DDH positivity for each principal component, and principal components for which the area under the curve was significantly large were extracted (p<0.05). Finally, which components of the pelvic morphology frequently seen in DDH patients are related to these extracted principal components was evaluated.\u0000Results: The first, third, and sixth principal components showed significantly larger areas under the ROC curves. The morphology indicated by the first principal component was associated with a decrease in coxal inclination in both the coronal and horizontal planes. The third principal component was related to the sacral inclination in the sagittal plane. The sixth principal component was associated with narrowing of the superior part of the pelvis.\u0000Conclusion: The most important factor in the difference between normal and DDH pelvises was the change in the coxal angle in both the coronal and horizontal planes.

There is no clear option that is preferable to other treatment modalities, especially between 5 to 16 years and published studies are scarce on radiological outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa.This study aimed to determine the pattern, treatment modalities and radiological outcome of the paediatric femoral fractures treated at KCMC. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted for all children with femoral shaft fractures treated at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre from 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2022. The approval to conduct the research was obtained from Kilimanjaro College Research Ethics and Review Committee(CRERC) with ethical clearance Reg NO PG 88/2022. In our study we used secondary data and the permission to conduct the research was obtained from KCMC, hence no formal consent was required from patients/parents. The patient’s information was traced through patient files and the hospital's electronic system. The radiological outcome; shortening, angulations in six weeks and fracture union, 12 weeks post-management were reviewed with the involvement of a consultant radiologist and the orthopaedic surgeon to obtain the precise information and were recorded on the extraction sheet. Results: This study included 230 study participants who met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of participants was 9.1 (5.1) years, 41.3%, was aged 6 – 12 years, 82.2% were males, 45.7% were involved in a MTC, and 83.5% had no health insurance. The commonest fracture type was 92.6% closed, 48.7% transverse, and 65.% right side. Non-operatively was used in 50.9% of which 76.8% were treated with late hip Spica. Of those treated operatively, 61.1% were plating.\u0000The majority had good radiological outcomes with acceptable solid union, angulation and shortening. Those patients who were not operated had 94% lower odds of satisfactory radiological outcomes than those who were operated ( AOR=0.06, 95% CI: 0.01 – 0.27 and p<0.001) whereas other factors were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The majority of the study participants were male and were involved in MTC as the commonest mechanism of injury. Most had closed fractures that mainly presented on the right side and transverse fractures were the most common type. The hip Spica was common non-operatively option; however, plating was the most common operative option.

This study aims to investigate the effects of decompressive surgery on balance and activity levels of elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis using objective measurements. Methods and analysis:\u0000This is a 24 month, multi-centre, prospective cohort study. Patients at or above 65 years of age with MRI-verified symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis will be recruited from two separate inclusion centres, and all participants will undergo decompressive surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. Preoperative data is collected up to 3 months before surgery, with follow-up data collected at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively.

The retrospective gait data of CP patients were categorized into two groups: initial examination (E1, 881 patients) and subsequent examination (E2, 377 patients). Envelope-formatted EMG data of RF were collected. Using PCA and a combined PSO-K-means algorithm, main clusters were identified. Patients were further classified into crouch, jump, recurvatum, stiff and mild gait for detailed analysis. The clusters (labels) were characterized by a significant peak EMG activity during mid-swing (L1), prolonged EMG activity during stance (L2), and a peak EMG activity during loading response (L3). Notably, L2 contained 76% and 92% of all crouch patients at E1 and E2, respectively. Comparing patients with a crouch gait pattern in L2-E1 and L2-E2, two subgroups emerged: patients with persistent crouch (G1) and patients showing improvement at E2 (G2). The minimum activity of RF during 20-45% of the gait was significantly higher (p= 0.025) in G1 than in G2. A greater chance of improvement from crouch gait might be associated with lower RF activity during the stance phase.

Recognizing these limitations, we aim to evaluate the predictive accuracy of FRAX by integrating fall frequency, fall energy, and SVI into the model for assessing the risk of fall-induced hip fractures.\u0000Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted, and patients aged ≥ 40 years with a documented diagnosis of a fall-induced hip fracture were age-matched with controls with a history of falls without an associated hip fracture. Basic demographic data, along with information about the number of prior falls and the energy of the current falls, were collected. The FRAX and SVI were calculated accordingly. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify significant predictors. The performance of the models was evaluated and reported using appropriate metrics. Baseline characteristics of the dataset were presented as medians with interquartile ranges (IQR) or as percentages, where applicable. The significance of the identified variables was quantified using Odds Ratio (OR) along with their 95% Confidence Interval (CI). A p-value threshold of 0.05 was set for statistical significance.\u0000Results: A total of 261 patients per group were included with a median age of 74 (IQR 67-80) and 72 (IQR 62-83) years. The FRAX score was significantly associated with the likelihood of experiencing a fall-induced hip fracture, as indicated by an OR of 1.06 (CI: 1.03-1.09). Participants with a one-time history of falls had an OR of 1.58 (CI: 1.02-2.37), compared to 1.84 (CI: 1.09-3.1) for those with multiple falls. The white race, along with the Housing Type and Transportation domain of the SVI, also demonstrated to play a role (OR= 2.85 (CI: 1.56-5.2) and OR= 0.3 (CI: 0.12-0.8), respectively).\u0000Conclusion: This study underscored the significance of factors such as fall frequency, SVI, and race in predicting fall-induced hip fractures.
