New research

  1. Reconstruction of a Base of Fifth Metacarpal Tumor Using the Dubert Procedure: A Case Report.

    HAND · Aug 04 2026 · PubMed

    A case report describes using the Dubert procedure (fusing the fifth to fourth metacarpal shaft with bone graft) to reconstruct a resected fifth metacarpal base tumor, preserving stability and motion at 6-month follow-up.

  2. Natural history of solitary osteochondroma : a retrospective analysis of 236 patients in South Korea.

    The Bone & Joint Journal · Aug 01 2026 · PubMed

    In 236 patients, solitary osteochondromas in skeletally immature patients—especially younger age and proximal humeral/humeral shaft lesions—showed substantial spontaneous regression potential, supporting conservative management, while mature patients more often needed surgery.

  3. Reducing complications after resection of pelvic bone sarcomas : an aggregation of marginal gains.

    The Bone & Joint Journal · Aug 01 2026 · PubMed

    Over 20 years, refinements in surgical approach, imaging, navigation, and centralization of care significantly reduced early return-to-theatre rates after pelvic sarcoma resection, though prosthetic reconstructions still have higher long-term revision rates.

  4. Comparing Human and AI-Generated Editorials in Orthopaedic Oncology: A Blinded Evaluation of Quality and Authorship Perception.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jul 31 2026 · PubMed

    In a blinded comparison, ChatGPT-4-generated orthopaedic oncology editorials matched human-authored ones in overall quality (with better grammar), and reviewers could only correctly identify authorship 59% of the time.

Recent reviews

  1. Histology-Tailored Approach to Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

    Annals of Surgical Oncology · Nov 2024 · PubMed

    Surgery remains the curative cornerstone for soft tissue sarcoma, but management must be tailored to each histologic subtype and site to reduce local recurrence and metastasis.
