Emre Gultac M.D. et all. reported an original article named « Proximal partial fibular resection versus high tibial osteotomy: Comparative outcomes in early-stage knee osteoarthritis » 10.52312/jdrs.2025.2107 and aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of proximal partial fibular resection (PPFR) and opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) in middle-aged patients with early-stage medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA).This original article concluded that Both PPFR and OWHTO are effective surgical options for early-stage medial compartment knee OA. While OWHTO offers superior mechanical correction, PPFR provides a less invasive alternative with similar functional outcomes.

Umut Oktem M.D. et all. reported an original article named « Optimal graft choices for tibial plateau fractures with joint depression » 10.52312/jdrs.2025.2077 and aimed to provide insight into the advantages and disadvantages of autograft and synthetic graft use in the surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures with joint depression by comparing the clinical and radiological outcomes of both graft types.This original article concluded that Autografts and synthetic grafts show similar efficacy in the mid-term treatment of tibial plateau fractures. High BMI and smoking may be associated with potential joint depression and worse clinical outcomes in the postoperative period.

Luboš Nachtnebl M.D. et al. reported an original article named « Long-term outcomes of computer-assisted Ci™ navigation versus conventional total knee arthroplasty » 10.52312/jdrs.2025.2002 and aimed to evaluate investigate the long-term effects of computer-assisted Ci™ navigation on clinical, radiological, and functional results versus conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This original article concluded that demonstrate that while kinematic navigation in TKA improves the precision of implant alignment, it does not provide significant benefits in terms of long-term implant survival or functional outcomes compared to conventional TKA methods. The use of the computer-assisted Ci™ navigation system is associated with prolonged operation duration, although no technical complications related to the navigation device’s software can be observed. Therefore, although navigation offers theoretical advantages in component positioning, its use may be more justifiable in cases with challenging alignment requirements rather than as a routine practice.

Lu Tang M.D., et al. reported an original article named « Hidden blood loss of percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures» 10.52312/jdrs.2025.2201 and aimed to evaluate the the amount of hidden blood loss (HBL) in patients treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and to compare the HBL between unilateral extrapedicular approach and unilateral transpedicular approach.This original article concluded that perioperative HBL cannot be ignored in PVP for thoracolumbar OVCFs, regardless of the surgical approach chosen. We should be more concerned about anemia in patients with thoracolumbar OVCFs after unilateral extrapedicular approach compared to the unilateral transpedicular approach.

Long Gong M.D. & Zixing Bai M.D., reported an original article named « Association of genetically predicted blood metabolites with osteopenia in individuals over 60 years of age: A Mendelian randomization study » 10.52312/jdrs.2025.1991and aimed to investigate the causal relationship between genetically predicted blood metabolites and osteoporotic fracture risk in individuals aged over 60 years, focusing on their role in bone metabolism and osteoporosis (OP). This original article concluded blood metabolites as potential causal markers for osteoporotic fracture risk, offering insights for risk assessment and prevention in the elderly.

Ahmet Yiğitbay M.D. et al. reported a case report named « Distal femur Brucella osteomyelitis in infancy: A rare case report» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1815 and presented an 18-month-old female patient with the complaint of limping ended up distal femur osteomyelitis. This case report concluded that a detailed history and a thorough physical examination are crucial in diagnosing Brucella disease. The clinical manifestations of the disease are very variable and can range from an asymptomatic infection to a severe clinical picture. There is no pathognomonic finding to make a diagnosis of Brucella disease. However, fever, malaise, peripheral arthritis, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly are among the most common clinical signs and symptoms. Brucella disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with faint physical examination findings and serologic tests should confirm the diagnosis. In particular, in cases with bone involvement, there may be delays in diagnosis, which may lead to gait disorders in the future with cartilage and bone destruction.

Mustafa Yasin Hatipoğlu M.D. reported a case report named « Thumb dorsal skin composite tissue replantation» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1783 and presented a a case in whom the seemingly non-replantable dorsal skin-nail composite tissue of the thumb could be successfully replanted with a single artery anastomosis. This case report concluded that several reconstruction options, such as FDMA flap and Brunelli/Moschella flap, were also available in our case. However, factors such as donor site morbidity and flap compatibility should be considered. Therefore, the primary choice for the reconstruction of all amputated parts should be replantation, if feasible.

Hiroyuki Kono M.D. et al. reported a case report named « Chronic dislocations of the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints with successful treatment by ligament repair» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1724 and presented a 29-year-old male of chronic dislocations of the fourth and fifth CMCJs with delayed diagnosis and successful treatment via ligament repair. This case report concluded that to avoid delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, the cause, local findings, and characteristic radiographic findings should be considered.

Jun Li M.D. et al. reported a review article named «Comparison of clinical outcomes and complications of biportal and uniportal endoscopic decompression for the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1820 and aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and complication rates of decompression with unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) and percutaneous endoscopy (PE) in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR). This review article concluded that there are no significant disparities in clinical outcomes between UBE and PE, encompassing NDI, VAS for arm pain, and VAS for neck pain, as well as complication rates. Notably, compared to PE, UBE results in increased bleeding and longer incision lengths when treating CSR, without substantially reducing operation time.

Malik Çelik M.D. et al. reported an original article named «Characterization and mapping of upper extremity fractures in children by a tertiary hospital quarantine and post-quarantine period» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1720 and aimed to categorize and map the incidence and patterns of upper extremity fractures in children during and after novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) quarantine and to identify changes in the demographic characteristics and mechanisms of these fractures.This original article concluded that reducing physical activity during quarantine reduces fractures, particularly in adolescents. The removal of restrictions increases fractures in children in this age range. These findings highlight the importance of considering age ranges and physical activity levels while planning safety measures to prevent injuries in children.
