Lunate Shift Index (LSI): A New Parameter for the Evaluation of Residual Ulnar Side Wrist Pain in Patients with Wrist Osteoarthritis Undergoing Three-Corners Arthrodesis vs. Four-Corners Arthrodesis-A Retrospective Comparative Study with Minimum 2 Years of Follow-up.

Purpose: Both scaphoid non-union advanced collapse wrist (SNAC) and scapho-lunate advanced collapse wrist (SLAC) at stage II-III are common indications for limited wrist fusions including four-corners fusion (4CF) and three-corners fusion (3CF). The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients undergoing 3CF vs. 4CF.

Magnetic resonance imaging shows low sensitivity but good specificity in detecting ramp lesions in children and adolescents with ACL injury: A systematic review.

Importance: The diagnosis of ramp lesions can be problematic, even with arthroscopy, due to their extreme posteromedial position. Consequently, they have been colloquially referred to as the "hidden lesions" of the knee. Undiagnosed and untreated injuries in this knee region may be associated with ongoing dynamic rotational laxity of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament graft failure.

Outcomes and complications of Total Hip Arthroplasty in patients with a pre-existing pathologic spine-hip relation. A systematic review of the literature.

Background: There has been a growing interest in pathologic spine-hip relations (PSHR) in current literature, with the aim of reducing the risk of prosthetic impingement, dislocation, and edge loading in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The primary objective of this review is to determine the effect of different PSHR on primary THA outcomes and complication profile. The secondary objective is to stratify the risk of different subgroups of PSHR patients.

Change in patellar height in medial and lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a clinical trial.

Introduction: Evidence on patellar height changes following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is lacking. Therefore, this study compared the patella height in patients who underwent medial versus lateral UKA. Moreover, a subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate whether sex, age, and BMI of the patients exert an influence on the postoperative patellar height.

Clinical outcomes, complications, and survivorship for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty versus total knee arthroplasty in patients aged 80 years and older with isolated medial knee osteoarthritis: a matched cohort analysis.

Purpose: The primary goal of this study is to compare clinical outcomes, complication rate, and survivorship in octogenarians who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) by performing a matched cohort analysis.

Methods: We analyzed 75 medial UKAs performed by a single experienced surgeon. The included cases were matched with 75 TKAs performed during the same study period.
