Introduction: The use of janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi's) in immune-mediated inflammatory conditions (IMIDs) beyond licence is expanding rapidly. The aim of this scoping review was to identify and present the available evidence on the efficacy of JAKi's in all conditions without marketing authorisation.
Methods: Through a detailed literature search we identified studies including 5 or more patients that assessed the use of any JAKi for any efficacy outcome .
Aims: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the influence of patellar resurfacing following cruciate-retaining (CR) and posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on the incidence of anterior knee pain, knee-specific patient-reported outcome measures, complication rates, and reoperation rates.
Methods: A systematic review of MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) according to search criteria. Search terms used included: arthroplasty, replacement, knee (Mesh), TKA, prosthesis, patella, patellar resurfacing, and patellar retaining.
Background: Modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA) femoral components are designed to provide a more optimal articular surface for the patella whether or not it has been resurfaced. Previous systematic reviews comparing outcomes of patellar resurfacing and no resurfacing combine both historic and modern designs.
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of patellar resurfacing in modern "patellar friendly" implants on (1) incidence of anterior knee pain, (2) patient reported outcomes (3) complication rates, and (4) reoperation rates compared with unresurfaced patellae in primary TKA.
Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the introduction of a virtual pathway for the management of patients with a suspected fracture of the scaphoid, and to report patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction following treatment using this service.
Methods: All adult patients who presented with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture that was not visible on radiographs at the time of presentation during a one-year period were eligible for inclusion in the pathway. Demographic details, findings on examination, and routine four-view radiographs at the time of presentation were collected.
Aims: The primary aim of this study was to identify independent predictors associated with nonunion and delayed union of tibial diaphyseal fractures treated with intramedullary nailing. The secondary aim was to assess the Radiological Union Scale for Tibial fractures (RUST) score as an early predictor of tibial fracture nonunion.
Methods: A consecutive series of 647 patients who underwent intramedullary nailing for tibial diaphyseal fractures were identified from a trauma database.
Aims: The aims of this meta-analysis were to assess: 1) the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in hip fracture patients; 2) the associated mortality rate and risk associated with COVID-19; 3) the patient demographics associated with COVID-19; 4) time of diagnosis; and 5) length of follow-up after diagnosis of COVID-19.
Methods: Searches of PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar were performed in October 2020 in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. Search terms included "hip", "fracture", and "COVID-19".
