- Abstract
Introduction: The dorsal capsulo-scapholunate septum (DCSS) is a recently described capsuloligamentous structure between the dorsal bundle of the scapholunate ligament (SLL) and the joint capsule of the wrist. It acts a secondary stabilizer of the scapholunate joint. The aim of this study was to evaluate the visibility and normal appearance of DCSS on high frequency ultrasound., Hypothesis: The DCSS can be analyzed using high frequency ultrasound., Materials and Methods: Three cadaveric wrists were dissected in order to study the DCSS; one without labeling and the other two after labeling under ultrasound guidance. On two other wrists, a correlation between the structure considered to be the DCSS on ultrasound and the corresponding CT arthrography and anatomical sections was carried out. Finally, sagittal ultrasound sections of the DCSS region on 42 healthy wrists were analyzed retrospectively., Results: During dissection, the DCSS corresponded to a fibrous structure extending to the dorsal surface of the scaphoid and lunate, with certain fibers converging towards the SLL. On high-frequency ultrasound, a hyperechoic fibrillar structure was visualized at the theoretical position of the DCSS. The dissections performed after ultrasound-guided transfixion showed that its limits corresponded to the limits of the DCSS. The anatomical, CT arthrography and ultrasound sections in the DCSS region were concordant. The DCSS was retrospectively visible on at least one reference ultrasound slice in 90.5% of healthy wrists, and was always hyperechoic. Its average thickness was 1.38±0.24mm., Discussion: Our study describes the normal sonographic characteristics of the DCSS, visible in a majority of healthy patients on high-frequency ultrasound. The analysis of the sonographic characteristics of the DCSS in the context of acute wrist trauma should be evaluated, and a diagnostic decision tree has been proposed., Level of Evidence: IV., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS.

- Abstract
Rationale and Objectives: To develop a model using artificial intelligence (A.I.) able to detect post-traumatic injuries on pediatric elbow X-rays then to evaluate its performances in silico and its impact on radiologists' interpretation in clinical practice., Material and Methods: A total of 1956 pediatric elbow radiographs performed following a trauma were retrospectively collected from 935 patients aged between 0 and 18 years. Deep convolutional neural networks were trained on these X-rays. The two best models were selected then evaluated on an external test set involving 120 patients, whose X-rays were performed on a different radiological equipment in another time period. Eight radiologists interpreted this external test set without then with the help of the A.I. models ., Results: Two models stood out: model 1 had an accuracy of 95.8% and an AUROC of 0.983 and model 2 had an accuracy of 90.5% and an AUROC of 0.975. On the external test set, model 1 kept a good accuracy of 82.5% and AUROC of 0.916 while model 2 had a loss of accuracy down to 69.2% and of AUROC to 0.793. Model 1 significantly improved radiologist's sensitivity (0.82 to 0.88, P = 0.016) and accuracy (0.86 to 0.88, P = 0,047) while model 2 significantly decreased specificity of readers (0.86 to 0.83, P = 0.031)., Conclusion: End-to-end development of a deep learning model to assess post-traumatic injuries on elbow X-ray in children was feasible and showed that models with close metrics in silico can unpredictably lead radiologists to either improve or lower their performances in clinical settings., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2023 The Authors.)

- Abstract
Background: Revision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requires preoperative assessment to identify the causes of failure. Multidetector computerised tomography (MDCT) is a commonly used imaging technique, but is sensitive to certain artifacts, such as metal implants, limiting its use. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is a new technique dedicated to musculoskeletal imaging that is less sensitive to artifacts and could be utilised in knee implantation surgery. CBCT has not yet been validated for this indication, and we therefore undertook a retrospective assessment of MDCT versus CBCT, comparing: 1) image quality; 2) reproducibility of angle measurements; 3) effectiveness in screening for periprosthetic radiolucency and implant loosening; and 4) radiation dose., Hypothesis: This study hypothesised that CBCT provides better image quality, angle measurement reproducibility, and screening for radiolucency and implant loosening at lower doses of radiation than MDCT., Patients and Method: Between October 2017 and March 2018, 28 patients, with a mean age of 61±11.6 years [range, 45-85 years] underwent both MDCT and CBCT for pain following TKA. Two radiologists performed angle measurements on both devices: patellofemoral tilt (PFT), rotation angle of the femoral component (RAFC) and rotation angle of the tibial component (RATC). They also screened for pathological radiolucency and/or implant loosening, and assessed image quality at the various bone/implant interfaces. The mean CT dose index per examination was recorded., Results: Intraclass correlation coefficients for angles and radiolucency screening on MDCT and on CBCT were respectively good (0.73) and excellent (0.82) for PFT, borderline (0.28) and moderate (0.44) for RAFC, excellent (0.82) and excellent (0.96) for RATC, and moderate (0.45) and excellent (0.84) for radiolucency screening. The inter-observer kappa correlation coefficients for diagnosis of implant loosening and image quality assessment for MDCT and CBCT were respectively moderate (0.45) and excellent (0.93) for tibial loosening and low (0.19) and borderline (0.38) for femoral loosening. The mean image quality at the various interfaces for MDCT and CBCT was respectively 2.2/3 and 2.75/3 at the tibia/tibial implant interface, 1/3 and 2.3/3 at the trochlear region/femoral implant interface, 0.9/3 and 2/3 at the femoral condyle/femoral implant interface, and 1.25/3 and 2.1/3 at the patella/patellar medallion interface. The mean CT dose index was significantly lower, by a factor of 1.24, on CBCT (4.138 mGy) than MDCT (5.125 mGy) (p<00396)., Conclusion: The results of the present study revealed added value for CBCT in the etiological work-up for pain following a TKA. It was reliable and reproducible for the rotation measurement and diagnosis of implant loosening, due to enhanced image quality despite a lower radiation dose than conventional MDCT., Level of Evidence: III; retrospective comparative study., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS.

- Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal cone-beam CT (CBCT) recently appeared on the market, with image quality comparable to that of high-resolution CT. It was previously implemented mainly in craniofacial surgery and in orthopedic limb surgery for weight-bearing imaging, but without large-scale assessment in emergency settings. We therefore conducted a retrospective comparative study in an emergency radiology department: 1) to assess whether introduction of CBCT dedicated to extremity traumatology reduced radiation dose delivered to the patient undergoing cross-sectional imaging, 2) to assess whether it increased turnover, and 3) to study the feasibility and practical consequences. Study hypothesis Introducing CBCT dedicated to traumatology in an emergency radiology department reduces radiation dose related to cross-sectional imaging in extremity trauma., Patients and Methods: Two periods were distinguished: in May-November 2016, the only cross-sectional imaging available in our emergency radiology department was multi-detector CT (MDCT); in May-November 2017, both MDCT and CBCT were available. Thus, the population in period 1 (n=165) had undergone only MDCT extremity imaging, while patients in period 2 underwent either CBCT (n=139) or MDCT (n=85). Study parameters notably included dose-length product (DLP) and length of patient stay in the radiology department (turnover)., Results: Mean DLP was significantly reduced with the introduction of CBCT: 210.3±133.6 mGy.cm (range, 20-595) in period 1, versus 138.4±92.7 mGy.cm (range, 32-623) in period 2 (p<0.0001). Taking both periods together, mean DLP was 50.7% lower with CBCT (n=139) than MDCT (n=249): respectively, 101.6±14.9 mGy.cm (range, 50.6-126.9) versus 206.5±131.8 mGy.cm (range, 20-623) (p<0.0001). Turnover accelerated with the introduction of CBCT, with mean stay of 84.9minutes in period 1 versus 72.1minutes in period 2 (p=0.011). In period 2, turnover was 23.6% faster with CBCT than MDCT: respectively, 64.9minutes versus 85.0minutes (p=0.0004)., Discussion: Introducing CBCT dedicated to the extremities in an emergency radiology department was feasible. It reduced overall radiation dose and accelerated turnover., Level of Evidence: III; comparative case-control study., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
