The impact of preoperative MRI-detected lateral meniscal intra-substance signal abnormalities on mid-term functional outcomes following mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
There is a dilemma as to whether the presence of degenerative changes of lateral meniscus is a contraindication to medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to as...

Predicting valgus malalignment after mobile-bearing UKA using a new method: the arithmetic HKA of the arthritic knee
Valgus malalignment is one of the most common reasons for the progression of osteoarthritis in the lateral compartment of the knee after mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The arithmetic ...

Lateral meniscus with tears or with histologic calcification does not increase the risk of lateral osteoarthritis after medial unicompartmental arthroplasty
Meniscal tears or histological meniscal calcifications (in the absence of radiological chondrocalcinosis) are frequent in osteoarthritis. Whether lateral meniscal lesions influence clinical outcomes after medi...

Coronal tibiofemoral subluxation under valgus stress force radiography is useful for evaluating postoperative coronal tibiofemoral subluxation in mobile-bearing UKA
Coronal tibiofemoral subluxation (CTFS) is considered a controversial and potential contraindication to unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) but is less discussed. The study aims to observe the CTFS in a c...

Gap balance difference of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty between hanging leg and supine leg position: a prospective cohort study
Gap balance is critical in Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (OUKA) surgery; the effect of lower limb positioning on gap balance judgements has not been reported. There are two mean operative positions...

Open AccessA radiographic model predicting the status of the anterior cruciate ligament in varus knee with osteoarthritis
The study aims to investigate the accuracy of different radiographic signs for predicting functional deficiency of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and test whether the prediction model constructed by integrat...

Article
Sensor and machine learning–based assessment of gap balancing in cadaveric unicompartmental knee arthroplasty surgical training
The aim of this study was to assess the difference between flexion and extension contact forces—gap balance—after Oxford mobile-bearing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) performed by surgeons wit...

Cannulated screw fixation versus plate fixation in treating displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Operative treatment has become the current trend for displaced intra-articular calcaneus fracture (DIACF), while using cannulated screw fixation or plate fixation is still controversial for treating DIACF. The...

Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in total ankle arthroplasty: a systematic review
Patient-specific instrument (PSI) may theoretically make total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) more accurate. Several studies have reported the outcomes of PSI TAA. The aim of this study is to systematically review t...

Article
Open AccessEffect of chronic kidney disease on total knee arthroplasty outcomes: a meta-analysis of matched control studies
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to review the current evidence in the literature to find out whether the coexisting chronic kidney disease affected infection, revision, transfusion, readmission, mortalit...

Article
Open AccessBearing dislocation of mobile bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in East Asian countries: a systematic review with meta-analysis
Bearing dislocation is a common postoperative complication of mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and East Asian patients tend to be at higher risk. However, whether this high dislocation rate i...

Open AccessDoes patellofemoral osteoarthritis affect functional outcomes and survivorship after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty? A meta-analysis
The argument that patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is a contraindication to unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) remains to be resolved. The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to dete...

Open AccessUtilization of epinephrine-soaked gauzes to address bleeding from osteotomy sites in non-tourniquet total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study
Reducing tourniquet inflation time is important because of the complications of tourniquet extensively used for the control of hemorrhage in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Bleeding management is critical to ac...

Open AccessDecreased angiogenic and increased apoptotic activities of bone microvascular endothelial cells in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head
Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is closely associated with the dysfunction of the bone microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). The present study investigated the angiogenic and...
