Summary: Surgeons with higher medial UKA usage have lower UKA revision rates but higher TKA revision rates. Overall, surgeons performing 1-5% UKA had the lowest TKA and combined UKA + TKA revision rates. However, there was no significant difference in OKS scores between different UKA usage groups.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of age on survival and complications after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis using the Korean National Health Insurance database. The findings suggest that patients over 60 years old have lower survival rates and higher risk of complications after HTO, highlighting age as a significant factor in predicting the success of HTO procedures.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of revision type, implant constraint level, and reason for revision on ROM after revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). The results showed that component revision cases had significantly improved ROM compared to liner-only revision, while constraint level did not have a significant association with ROM changes in both liner and component revisions. Component revisions due to instability significantly reduced ROM.

Summary: This study found a higher incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) in patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for stiffness, with HO severity potentially affecting preoperative and postoperative range of motion (ROM). There is a need for a comprehensive classification system for HO to guide patient expectations.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the range of motion (ROM) when revision TKA was performed for arthrofibrosis. The results showed that revision TKA significantly improved ROM at a mean follow-up of 4.5 years, resulting in final ROM similar to pre-primary TKA ROM.

Summary: In young patients with isolated medial compartment arthritis, the conversion rates to total knee arthroplasty are higher with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) compared to proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO). However, the overall reoperation rate is higher with PTO, primarily due to complications and revision procedures. Overall survivorship is acceptable for both procedures.

Summary: This study compared the failure rates of different prosthetic designs in lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty through a meta-analysis. The results showed that the failure rate of fixed-bearing metal-backed implants was significantly lower than other designs. Follow-up time did not have a significant impact on the failure rates. Therefore, choosing fixed-bearing metal-backed implants is preferred for surgeons.

Summary: This study suggests that revision surgery outcomes for idiopathic stiff TKA are worse compared to non-idiopathic stiff TKA. In the idiopathic stiffness cohort, isolated tibial insert exchange showed better results and lower re-revision rates, indicating it may be a preferred surgical treatment option for TKA patients with idiopathic stiffness.

Summary: This study analyzed the incidence and indications for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) compared to those without SCD using a large national database. The results showed that SCD patients had a higher risk of revisions for periprosthetic joint infection, aseptic loosening, and hematoma compared to non-SCD patients, independent of other comorbidities.

Summary: This study compared the survivorship, radiographs, and clinical outcomes of a new hinged total knee arthroplasty mated to a well-fixed metaphyseal sleeve or a new sleeve. The results showed that mating the femoral component to a well-fixed sleeve is a safe, simple, and durable option in the short term, which prevents complications associated with the removal of a well-fixed sleeve.

Summary: The study aims to compare clinical outcomes, complications, and survivorship in octogenarians who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) versus unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The findings suggest that both TKA and UKA have similar clinical outcomes, post-operative range of motion, and survivorship in octogenarians with medial knee osteoarthritis, with comparable complication rates.

Summary: This study found that TKA resulted in inferior extensor function compared to UKA and BCA. This may, in part, help explain the reported differences in function and satisfaction differences between partial and total knee arthroplasty.

Summary: Surgical patients with peri-operative or recent SARS-CoV-2 infection are at increased risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism compared to those without a history of SARS-CoV-2. However, the optimal prophylaxis and treatment for venous thromboembolism in this patient population remains unknown. Venous thromboembolism is independently associated with 30-day mortality.

Summary: This systematic review with meta-analysis found that delaying rotator cuff surgery for 3 to 6 months did not lead to higher retear rates or inferior patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as compared with undergoing earlier surgery. However, delaying surgery for >= 1 year clearly resulted in higher retear rates after rotator cuff repair. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Combined injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a common knee injury pattern. The optimal treatment for grade III MCL injuries, especially when combined with ACL injury, is still debated. Delayed treatment of ACL-MCL injuries has disadvantages, including incomplete MCL healing, prolonged rehabilitation period, and increased risk of intra-articular damage. Simultaneous surgical treatment of both ligaments has the potential to avoid these shortcomings. This article reviews the evolution of treatment for ACL-MCL injuries and discusses the current treatment algorithm, its shortcomings, potential advantages of acute simultaneous treatment, and the available literature.

Summary: This study aimed to assess outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a large cohort with and without pain catastrophizing (PC). The study found that patients with PC had worse preoperative function and pain, but had more improvement at 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. However, at 24 months, PC patients reported more pain.

Summary: In the past decade, there have been various techniques proposed for preserving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), resulting in a resurgence of selective arthroscopic ACL preservation. These techniques involve different methods of suturing, fixation, and augmentation, but lack consideration for important anatomical and biomechanical properties. The aim of this technique is to anatomically reapproximate the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles of the ACL to their respective femoral footprints, while also performing a PL compression stitch to increase ligament-bone contact area and recreate the anatomic vectors of the native bundles. This minimally invasive procedure, which does not involve graft harvesting or tunnel drilling, has shown decreased pain levels, earlier return of full range of motion (ROM), and faster rehabilitation, with comparable failure rates to ACL reconstruction.

Summary: Many surgeons facing the challenge of harvesting small hamstring grafts during ACL reconstruction can consider several options, such as using contralateral hamstring tendons, reinforcing the ACL graft with allografts, utilizing a bone-patellar tendon-bone or quadriceps graft, or adding an anterolateral ligament reconstruction or lateral extra-articular tenodesis. Recent studies indicate that the presence of a lateral extra-articular procedure might be more crucial than the thickness of the isolated ACL graft, offering reassuring news. Current evidence suggests that both anterolateral ligament reconstruction and modified Lemaire tenodesis have similar biomechanical and clinical outcomes, providing potential solutions for small-diameter hamstring ACL autografts.

Summary: Fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) are increasingly common as the population ages. While most FFPs are treated conservatively, physicians should be alert to the potential for fracture progression and the development of unstable pelvic ring fractures. Increased pain or mobility difficulties may indicate the need for invasive treatment.
