Background: While outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) have often been gauged through radiological assessments focusing on prosthesis position, there is increasing recognition of patient-reported outcomes, particularly satisfaction, as indicators of surgical success. The objective of this study was to correlate radiological findings with clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on patients following rTSA at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the relationship between medial meniscal extrusion (MME) and T2 relaxation times in knee cartilage.
  • Fifty-nine knees from 55 patients were examined using 3.0T MRI, focusing on the correlation between MME and T2 values, taking into account different grades of MME.
  • Results indicated a strong correlation, where knees with MME ≥ 3 mm had significantly higher T2 values, suggesting that greater MME negatively impacts femoral cartilage health.

Background: In recent years, there has been an increased utilization of dual-mobility (DM) implants in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) to mitigate the risk of postoperative hip instability. This study aimed to present mid-term outcomes of DM bearings in primary THA using data from the American Joint Replacement Registry.

Methods: Screening was conducted on patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent primary THA between 2012 and 2018.

We present a novel synthetic approach for the synthesis of the 1,2,3-triazole core, with a particular focus on the direct and regioselective synthesis of the synthetically more challenging triazoles having additional substituents at the N nitrogen atom. Through treatment of readily accessible geminal diazides with organic hydrazines under mild thermolysis conditions, a broad spectrum of -alkyl- and -aryl-1,2,3-triazoles are easily generated. For example, geminal diazides derived from ketoesters, ketoamides, and ketones were converted under the reaction conditions.
