Conversion of Tibial Plateau Fractures to Total Knee Arthroplasty is Associated With Worse Patient-Reported Outcomes, Increased Operative Times, and Increased Complications.

Background: Prior open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of tibial plateau fracture (TPF) adds complexity to subsequent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing a TKA following prior ORIF of TPF to patients undergoing a primary TKA for osteoarthritis and an aseptic revision TKA.

Methods: There were 52 patients who underwent primary TKA following prior ORIF of TPF between January 2009 and June 2021, who were included and matched in a 1:4 ratio to 208 patients undergoing primary TKA.

The clinical potential of radiomics to predict hematoma expansion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: a narrative review.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with subsequent hematoma expansion (HE) linked to worse neurologic outcomes. Accurate, real-time predictions of the risk of HE could enable tailoring management-including blood pressure control or surgery-based on individual patient risk. Although multiple radiographic markers of HE have been proposed based on standard imaging, their clinical utility remains limited by a reliance on subjective interpretation of often ambiguous findings and a poor overall predictive power.
