The recovery trajectory of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures in randomised controlled trials: A systematic review and meta-analysis of operative and nonoperative treatments.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to understand the trajectory of recovery following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction compared to nonoperative treatments.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis approach was used to evaluate randomised controlled trials (RCTs). A comprehensive search was conducted on databases including Medline, Embase, Web of Science and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up until 18 May 2023.

The Effects of Computer Navigation and Patient-Specific Instrumentation on Risk of Revision, PROMs, and Mortality Following Primary TKR: An Analysis of National Joint Registry Data.

Background: Computer navigation and patient-specific instrumentation have been in use over the past 2 decades for total knee replacement (TKR). However, their effects on implant survival and patient-reported outcomes remain under debate. We aimed to investigate their influence on implant survival, outcomes of the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), intraoperative complications, and postoperative mortality compared with conventional instrumentation, across a real-world population.

Pregnancy-Associated Myocardial Infarction in Alberta: A Population-Based Study.

Background: Cardiac disease is the leading cause of maternal mortality in developed countries, and myocardial infarction (MI) is an important cause of pregnancy-associated morbidity and mortality. These infrequent, but very serious, events are not optimally described in the medical literature.

Objectives: This study describes a 15-year consecutive, retrospective cohort of confirmed pregnancy-associated MIs (PAMIs) identified in Alberta, Canada (2003-2017).
