Alterations of energy expenditure after anterior cruciate ligament tear and reconstruction. A systematic review.

Background: The ever-increasing sport level makes every single detail of the athlete's cardiorespiratory profile count, and therefore, it is deemed crucial to clarify how the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) affects the energy economy of an athlete compared to the ACL-deficient and healthy subjects. The purpose of this review was to systematically analyze the studies investigating the correlation between the energy-oxygen cost in patients following ACLR in unreconstructed and intact ACLs.

Methods: We conducted this systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.

A Study on Distinguishing ChatGPT-Generated and Human-Written Orthopaedic Abstracts by Reviewers: Decoding the Discrepancies.

Background: ChatGPT (OpenAI Incorporated, Mission District, San Francisco, United States) is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based language model that generates human-resembling texts. This AI-generated literary work is comprehensible and contextually relevant and it is really difficult to differentiate from human-written content. ChatGPT has risen in popularity lately and is widely utilized in scholarly manuscript drafting.

The Role of 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Instrumentation in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Literature Review.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is currently one of the most common orthopedic surgeries due to the ever-increasing average life expectancy. The constant need for effective and accurate techniques was contributed to the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing in that field, especially for patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and custom-made implants fabrication. PSI may offer numerous benefits, such as resection accuracy, mechanical axis alignment, cost-effectiveness, and time economy.

Atraumatic dislocation of a modern rotating hinge total-knee prosthesis. A rare but devastating complication.

The number of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) is rising in many countries along with the numbers of the revision TKA. Rotating hinge knee (RHK) implants have a fundamental role in the revision TKA and their design has evolved during the last years becoming appealing to many surgeons worldwide. They are mainly used in cases where large bone defects and severe soft tissue imbalance exist.
