The ARCR_Pred study was initiated to document and predict the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in a representative Swiss patient cohort. In the present manuscript, we aimed to describe the overall and baseline characteristics of the study, report on functional outcome data and explore case-mix adjustment and differences between public and private hospitals. Between June 2020 and November 2021, primary ARCR patients were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter cohort across 18 Swiss and one German orthopedic center.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates CP symmetry violation in the decay of D^{+} particles into K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} using data from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV.
  • A unique model-independent method was employed to analyze the phase-space distributions of D^{+} and D^{-} particles, correcting for any instrumental biases using D_{s}^{+} decays.
  • The findings indicate no significant evidence of CP violation, with a p value of 8.1%, and measure specific CP asymmetry observables, marking this study as the most sensitive search of its kind in multibody decays.

Purpose: To report on the failure rates of an expandable interbody spacer, used for spinal instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or posterior thoracolumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).

Methods: In this retrospective, single-center observational cohort study we reviewed consecutive PLIF/TLIF patients using the Catalyft™ PL and PL40 expandable titanium interbody implant (Medtronic, Minneapolis (USA)) between 07/2022 and 11/2023. We recorded patient demographics, surgical parameters, adverse events, radiological parameters and clinical outcomes according to the MacNab criteria.

Background: In nonoperative treated proximal humeral fractures (PHFs), uncertainty remains regarding functional outcome. Therefore, the aim was to identify predictors of functional outcome following nonoperative treatment of PHF and to develop predictive models.

Methods: Adults with a nonoperatively treated PHF involving the surgical neck were followed for 1 year.
