Article Synopsis
  • Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgery for knee osteoarthritis, and the patellar component is crucial for knee function and recovery outcomes.
  • A study analyzed the relationship between various radiological measurements of patellar height and clinical outcomes in 330 TKA patients, revealing significant correlations.
  • Results indicated that specific radiological indices could predict postoperative satisfaction and complications, underscoring their importance in pre-surgical planning and patient evaluations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the connection between sleep traits and knee arthroplasty revision, addressing the uncertainty over whether sleep issues cause or result from surgery complications.
  • Utilizing Mendelian randomization, the researchers analyzed genetic data from large genome-wide association studies to determine causal relationships.
  • The results showed that shorter sleep duration increased the risk of knee surgery revision, while longer sleep duration was associated with a lower risk, and no evidence was found for reverse causation.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material implants have been applied more and more clinically recently. In order to increase the osteogenic activity of PEEK material, the microstructure change of the material surface and the construction of functional microcoatings have become a hot research topic. This study investigated the ability of PEEK surfaces modified by different methods to carry Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and the osteogenic ability of different PEEK microstructures after carrying PRP /.

With the aging of the population, an increasing number of elderly patients are opting for artificial joint replacement, leading to the exploration of various rapid rehabilitation programs in the perioperative period. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of combining recombinant human erythropoietin and iron sucrose in altering the range and trend of postoperative hemoglobin in patients undergoing arthroplasty. Specifically, we will examine whether this combination can effectively alter the rise and fall of postoperative haemoglobin, identify the inflection point of haemoglobin change or recovery after arthroplasty, and assess the effect of treatment on serum iron in postoperative blood.

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a special class of noncoding RNA molecules and the latest research hotspot in the field of RNA. CircRNA molecules have a closed loop structure, which is not affected by RNA exonuclease and has the characteristics of more stable expression. Previous studies have shown that circRNA molecules are rich in microRNA (miRNA) binding sites and act as miRNA sponges in cells.

The management and definitive treatment of critical-size bone defects in severe trauma, tumor resection and congenital malformation are troublesome for orthopedic surgeons and patients worldwide without recognized good treatment strategies. Researchers and clinicians are working to develop new strategies to treat these problems. This review aims to summarize the techniques used by additive manufacturing scaffolds loaded with BMP-2 to promote osteogenesis and to analyze the current status and trends in relevant clinical translation.

Objective: Periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA) may threaten the survival of implants. Zoledronic acid (ZA) and denosumab were effective in reducing bone loss in conditions associated with accelerated bone turnover by inhibiting osteoclast activity. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficiency and safety of ZA and denosumab for periprosthetic BMD loss after THA.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary solid malignant tumors in orthopedics, and its main clinical treatments are surgery and chemotherapy. However, a wide surgical resection range, functional reconstruction of postoperative limbs, and chemotherapy resistance remain as challenges for patients and orthopedists. To address these problems, the discovery of new effective conservative treatments is important.
