Article Synopsis
- - The review aimed to determine how common knee extension loss is following ACL injuries and surgeries, looking at definitions and factors that influence this issue.
- - A systematic search identified 53 eligible studies from a pool of over 15,000, with significant findings showing that around 1 in 3 patients experience knee extension loss at 12 months post-surgery, declining to 1 in 4 by 2 years.
- - Key predictors affecting the incidence of knee extension deficits included the time of follow-up and the type of graft used in the reconstruction, though only a small portion of selected studies were deemed low risk for bias.
Introduction: Currently, evidence-based guidelines regarding delay to theatre for urgent surgical intervention in patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are lacking. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of DOACs on patient outcomes receiving early (<48 hours) versus delayed (>48 hours) surgery for neck of femur fractures.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital.

Objective: Femoral nerve blocks (FNBs) for fragility hip fractures have benefits in improving pain relief and early mobilization while decreasing opioid use and rates of pneumonia. However, no study has looked at 1-year mortality outcomes for this intervention. This study aims to provide insight into 1-year outcomes.

Whole-genome sequence data of 200 CC95 strains from various origins enabled determination of the CC95 pangenome. The pangenome analysis revealed that strains of the complex could be assigned to one of five subgroups that vary in their serotype, extraintestinal virulence, virulence gene content, and antibiotic resistance gene profile.
