“…We analysed the reason for the increase in research interest from the special advantages of ultrasound. On the one hand, hospitals are increasingly using ultrasonic devices to reduce exposure to X-ray radiation during examinations with the improvement of people's health awareness (13), and in the diagnosis of some orthopaedic diseases, the diagnostic rate of ultrasound is not inferior to CT. For example, ultrasound is more accurate in assessing the early healing process of fractures (26); the last but not the least, ultrasound as a diagnostic and therapeutic method does have overwhelmingly taken its place in the scienti c arena (27), and the use of bedside ultrasound also provides ideas for rapid diagnosis in critical and emergency situations in the future. For example, the advent of portable ultrasound makes rapid diagnosis of soft tissue injury possible in the wild (28).…”

“…With respect to the latest research hotspots, MRI from the diagnosis research cluster is the most recent (cluster 1), which indicates that ultrasonic diagnosis has been used in combination with other diagnostic tools to improve diagnostic e ciency. For example, the assessment of fracture healing remains challenging due to a lack of consensus on imaging and clinical criteria as well as the lack of a true gold standard (26).…”

Background. The past decade has witnessed the development of ultrasound in orthopaedics, the growth rate of publications has been accelerating. In this study, analysis of the publications on ultrasound in orthopaedics over the past decade has been completed. We aim to provide inspiration for future research on ultrasound in orthopaedics through our work.Methods. All relevant publications between 2009 and 2020 from Web of Science were collected. Statistical Package for Social Science and GraphPad Prism 8 software were used to generate and analyse diagrams. Meanwhile, from the aspects of co-occurring keywords, VOSviewer software and CiteSpace were employed to visualize the research trends.Results. 1,677 publications with a citation frequency of 20,311 were identified. The United States published most publications in this filed and the number of citations was also the highest, as well as the highest H-index. Although China ranked sixth in terms of the number of publications, the growth trend in the future will be fastest. Furthermore, Skeletal Radiology published the most papers related to ultrasound in orthopaedics, Ozcakar, L had published the most papers, and a study by Kwon, YM received the highest citation frequency. The keywords about "MRI", "complication", "female" and "male" were noted as new topics.Conclusions. Through the research, while the contributions of the publications from the United States were significant, the growth rate of Chinese publications in the future cannot be ignored. Moreover, it is hypothesized that diagnosis and epidemiology studies may become hotspots.

“…The formation of trabecular bridges and cortical fusion are accepted signs of bone healing [ 23 ]. However, the amount of trabecular and bone formation reported to whole the bone and the exact moment when a radiological follow-up should be conducted remain controversial [ 22 ]. It is known that XR displays a poor inter-observer agreement, which is not improved by clinical experience concerning scaphoid fracture detection [ 24 ].…”

Highlights Scaphoid union is controversial regarding diagnosis of healing. XR is the most used modality with poor reliability and reproducibility. CBCT allows with higher confidence diagnosis of consolidation avoiding longer immobilisation. Evaluation for translation is better with CBCT than XR at un early follow up. Six weeks is a reasonable delay to perform the first imaging follows up in waist scaphoid fracture.

“…The bevelled edge created by angulating the saw while making the window increases the surface area, and once the window is reduced, it heals with primary healing (Marsell and Einhorn, 2011). The osteotomy was considered healed when cortical bridging was noticed on anterior-posterior and lateral radiographs (Fisher et al, 2018). We did not see a change in implant position in any of our patients during the follow-up, and all the patients were allowed full weight-bearing over revised hips.…”

Background The extraction of a femoral stem during the revision hip arthroplasty can be a daunting task and can lead to catastrophic complications for the patient. A sound technique employed intraoperatively helps in speedy recovery of the patient and reduces the risk of future surgical interventions. In this study, we present a medium-term outcome of our novel Lancaster Cortical Window technique which can be used for removal of cemented or uncemented femoral stems. Methodology The study was conducted at a specialist centre in the North-West of the UK from January 2014 to May 2019. This is a retrospective case series where patients were treated surgically using Lancaster Cortical Window technique for removal of femoral implant during a revision hip arthroplasty. Patient’s electronic notes and the radiographs were used to evaluate the functional and radiological outcome. Results In this study, 18 patients were managed surgically using Novel Lancaster Window technique. The mean age of the all the patients was 81.5 years and the male to female ratio was 10:8. Fifteen patients underwent revision surgery for aseptic loosening of the femoral and acetabular component. Rest of the three patients had revision surgery for a broken femoral stem, intraoperative femoral canal perforation while implanting a total hip replacement femoral stem and infection. Twelve femurs were replanted with uncemented long femoral stems and six with long cemented stems. The cortical window osteotomy united in all the patients in 4.2 months (mean). The mean follow up of these patients is 20.9 months, and none of them had any implant subsidence or loosening at the time of their last follow up. Conclusion We believe Lancaster cortical window technique can be safely used for removal of cemented stems during revision hip arthroplasty without the need for expensive equipment’s.
