Spontaneous recurrent hemarthrosis of the knee after total knee arthroplasty is an infrequent complication. Early recognition and prompt diagnosis are essential to avoid issues such as joint stiffness, chronic pain, and limited mobility. Conservative treatment methods are often effective.

Traditional treatment methods struggle with its resistance to decomposition, posing risks to water quality, human health, and aquatic life. This study demonstrates a novel approach to enhance photocatalytic efficiency for RhB degradation by constructing a MOF-5/g-CN composite through a facile mechanical grinding method, which is unprecedented.

The aim of our study is to evaluate the five-year results of synthetic cartilage implant (Cartiva) arthroplasty for hallux rigidus. A retrospective study of 70 patients who underwent synthetic cartilage implant interpositional arthroplasty were collected and analysed.

However, selective oxidation of unactivated aliphatic C-H bonds is challenging because of the high bond dissociation energies. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterisation and catalytic activity of nickel(ii) complexes ([Ni(L1-L3)(OH)](ClO) (1-3)) of monoamidate tetradentate ligands [L1: 2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)--phenylacetamide, L2: 2-(bis(2-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)--(naphthalen-1-yl)acetamide, L3: -benzyl-2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)acetamide] in selective oxidation of cycloalkanes using -CPBA as the oxidant.
