Patient-Reported Outcomes in Total Ankle Arthroplasty: Patient Specific Versus Standard Instrumentation.

Background: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) can now be performed using patient-specific instrumentation (PSI). Advantages include the ability to preoperatively plan and reduce the number of intraoperative surgical steps. The aim of this study was to compare PSI with standard instrumentation (SI) in a nonrandomized retrospective cohort study with respect to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

A prediction model for treatment decisions in distal radial physeal injuries: A multicenter retrospective study.

Background: There are no clearly defined guidelines for the management of distal radial physeal injuries. We aimed to identify the risk factors for patients with distal radial physeal trauma for the risk of deformity, physeal closure, and revision procedure and develop a predictive model.

Methods: The retrospective study included patients less than 16 years old with displaced distal radial physeal injuries treated between 2011 and 2018 across five centers in the United Kingdom.

Novel bone grafting technique in stand-alone ALIF procedure combining allograft and autograft ('Northumbria Technique')-Fusion rate and functional outcomes in 100 consecutive patients.

Introduction: Successful ALIF surgery depends upon achieving solid fusion, whilst avoiding significant complications. Herein, we present the 'Northumbria Technique' of combining allograft with autograft in order to achieve solid interbody fusion.

Materials And Methods: A single-surgeon series of 100 consecutive patients undergoing stand-alone ALIF from 2016 to 2019 was studied.
