Higher hospital volume reduces early failure rates in single-stage revision TKR for infection: An analysis of the United Kingdom National Joint Registry and National Administrative Databases.

Purpose: Revision knee replacement (RevKR) for infection is rare but increasing. It is hypothesised that higher hospital volume reduces adverse outcomes. The aim was to estimate the association of surgical unit volume with outcomes following first, single-stage RevKR for infection.

Adopting the day surgery default in the provision of lumbar discectomy and decompressive surgery.

Introduction: Provision of day case spinal procedures in the UK is below expected standards and there is a need for the creation of guidance and patient pathways to address this. Here we present a day case lumbar discectomy protocol and evaluate its impact at our institution.

Methods: A new pathway (incorporating defined selection criteria, patient education, anaesthetic protocol and discharge prescriptions) was implemented for all suitable patients within a single surgeon's cohort.

What is the patient experience following revision knee replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the medium term patient reported outcomes.

Aims: Revision knee replacement is an increasingly common procedure, however, information on patient-focused outcomes is limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the medium-term patient reported outcomes following a revision knee replacement.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of MEDLINE and EMBASE (from inception to 1st March 2021) for articles reporting five year or greater patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) following revision knee replacement.

Management of Simultaneous Patellar Tendon and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Ruptures-A Systematic Review of Available Literature.

Background: Combined rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and patellar tendon (PT) is a rare injury pattern. Currently, little evidence exists to help guide management decisions for these patients.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed (MEDLINE) and Scopus (EMBASE and MEDLINE) for all articles reporting on combined rupture of the ACL and PT.

Surgical Education's 100 Most Cited Articles: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Background: Bibliometric analysis highlights the key topics and publications, which have shaped surgical education. Here, the 100 most cited articles in the arena of surgical education were analyzed.

Methods: Thomson Reuters Web of Science was interrogated using the keyword search terms "surgery" and ("learning" or "skills" or "competence" or "assessment" or "training" or "procedure-based assessments" or "performance" or "technical skills" or "curriculum" or "education" or "mentoring"] to identify all English language full articles, and the 100 most cited articles were analyzed by topic, journal, author, year, institution, and country of origin.
