Fixed- versus mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) can be either a fixed bearing (FB) or a mobile bearing (MB) construct with controversy as to which design is...

Predictors for blood loss and transfusion frequency to guide blood saving programs in primary knee- and hip-arthroplasty
Endoprosthetic surgery can lead to relevant blood loss resulting in red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. This study aimed to identify risk factors for...

Circulating IL-10 is compromised in patients predisposed to develo** and in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis
The purpose of this investigation was to identify if serum interleukin (IL)-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α concentrations and their ratio...

Older age increases the risk of revision and perioperative complications after high tibial osteotomy for unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis
Among various patient risk factors affecting survival after high tibial osteotomy (HTO), the ideal age limit for HTO is unclear. This study was...
-
Load-induced deformation of the tibia and its effect on implant loosening detection
CT imaging under external valgus and varus loading conditions and consecutive image analysis can be used to detect tibial implant loosening after...

Tibial morphology of symptomatic osteoarthritic knees varies according to location: a retrospective observational study in Japanese patients
This study analyzed 31 patients with symptomatic osteoarthritic knees scheduled to undergo knee arthroplasty or high tibial osteotomy and...
-
Coronal and axial alignment relationship in Caucasian patients with osteoarthritis of the knee
Individualized pre-operative assessment of the patterns of the lower extremity anatomy and deformities in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty...

Morphological analysis of the distal femur as a surgical reference in biplane distal femoral osteotomy
Distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is performed alone or with high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for patients with osteoarthritis and distal femur deformities....
-
Identifying prognostic factors for clinical outcomes and costs in four high-volume surgical treatments using routinely collected hospital data
Identifying prognostic factors (PFs) is often costly and labor-intensive. Routinely collected hospital data provide opportunities to identify...

Association between bone marrow lesions and bone mineral density of the proximal tibia in end-stage osteoarthritic knees
This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated the association between bone marrow lesions (BMLs) and bone mineral density (BMD) in the...

Clinical significance of distal femur morphology in a healthy Mongolian youth population
Morphological parameters of knee joint are related to race and nationality. At present, knee prosthesis come from white male population. Due to the...

Evaluation of the effect of vascularized fibula graft harvesting on coronal plane alignment and functional outcomes of the lower limb
Recent studies on fibular osteotomy for varus gonarthrosis and possible subsequent biomechanical changes have attracted increasing attention to the...
-
Weight Bearing Activities change the Pivot Position after Total Knee Arthroplasty
The knee joint center of rotation is altered in the absence of the anterior cruciate ligament, which leads to substantially higher variance in...
-
The bactericidal effect of vancomycin is not altered by tranexamic acid, adrenalin, dexamethasone, or lidocaine in vitro
One of the most challenging complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). There is growing evidence of a...
-
Hip abduction angle after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is associated with the timed up & go test and recurrence of varus alignment
The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the hip abduction angle (HAA) and lower limb alignment as well as the clinical...

Fair AI-powered orthopedic image segmentation: addressing bias and promoting equitable healthcare
AI-powered segmentation of hip and knee bony anatomy has revolutionized orthopedics, transforming pre-operative planning and post-operative...
-
Low frequency of local findings in periprosthetic hip infection caused by low-virulent bacteria compared to periprosthetic knee infection
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is suspected when local findings such as pain, swelling, hyperthermia, and sinus tract are present. However, the...
-
Comparative meta-omics for identifying pathogens associated with prosthetic joint infection
Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are economically and personally costly, and their incidence has been increasing in the United States. Herein, we...
