Dupuytren's contracture: Is a history of percutaneous needle fasciotomy a risk factor for postoperative complications after secondary open fasciectomy? A retrospective study of 62 hands.

Introduction: Dupuytren's disease is a benign disorder leading to flexion contracture of the fingers and functional disability. Many treatments have been described. Open fasciectomy is the gold standard; however percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) is a reliable option for uncomplicated primary contracture but it has a high rate of recurrence.

Collared versus collarless hydroxyapatite-coated stems for primary cementless total hip arthroplasty; a systematic review of comparative studies. Is there any difference in survival, functional, and radiographic outcomes?

Introduction: This systematic review aims to critically assess the literature comparative studies investigating collared and collarless Corail stem in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) to find differences in revision rates, radiographic and clinical outcomes, and postoperative complications between these two types of the same stem.

Methods: Eligible studies were found by searching PubMed, Science Direct/Scopus, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from conception till May 2023. The PRISMA guidelines were followed.

One-stage revision for infected shoulder arthroplasty: prospective, observational study of 37 patients.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection is a severe complication of joint replacement surgery. Thus two-stage exchange remains the gold standard, one-stage exchange is now widely recommended. We hypothesized that, for patients with chronic periprosthetic shoulder infection (PSI), treatment with a one-stage exchange would be an effective approach to eradicate infection, relieve pain, and restore function to the involved shoulder.

Outcomes of Isolated Biceps Tenodesis/Tenotomy or Partial Rotator Cuff Repair Associated with Biceps Tenodesis/Tenotomy for Massive Irreparable Tears: A Systematic Review.

Unlabelled: Irreparable large to massive rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs) are a prevalent cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction, and nonoperative treatment may not always be effective. Various surgical options exist, with isolated biceps tenotomy/tenodesis (BT) or arthroscopic partial repair with associated biceps tenotomy/tenodesis (PCR-BT) being the most common. The aim of this study was to systematically review the available data on the clinical and functional outcomes of BT and PCR-BT in patients with MIRCTs.

Psychological risk factors for the occurrence of frozen shoulder after rotator cuff repair.

Introduction: Frozen shoulder is a dreaded complication after rotator cuff repair.

Hypothesis: There are psychological determinants for this complication.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively included 77 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between May 2018 and April 2019.

One- or two-stage exchange for periprosthetic shoulder infection: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: One-stage exchange is the gold-standard for management of periprosthetic shoulder infection. The present review compares efficacy between 1- and 2-stage exchange in this indication.

Material And Methods: We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis following the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses" (PRISMA) criteria.

Biomechanical properties of transosseous bony Bankart repair in a cadaver model.

Introduction: We compared two arthroscopic repair techniques to an intact shoulder using a biomechanical model of anterior shoulder dislocation with an anterior glenoid rim fracture (Ideberg IA fracture). We hypothesized that transosseous repair is sufficient to effectively stabilize the glenoid fracture. The primary objective was to define the mechanical properties of transosseous repair of an Ideberg IA fracture relative to an intact shoulder (control group).

Return to Sport After Shoulder Arthroplasty in Recreational Athletes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: One of the most frequent demands from patients after shoulder replacement surgery is to return to sport.

Purpose: To determine the rate of return to sport after shoulder arthroplasty (total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse shoulder arthroplasty, hemiarthroplasty) in recreational athletes.

Study Design: Meta-analysis and systematic review.

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Training in Orthopaedic Surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review to determine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) training in orthopaedic surgery.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic review was performed of articles of VR training in orthopaedic surgery published up to November 2014 from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases.

Results: We included 10 relevant trials of 91 identified articles, which all reported on training in arthroscopic surgery (shoulder, n = 5; knee, n = 4; undefined, n = 1).

Comparison of treatment effect estimates from prospective nonrandomized studies with propensity score analysis and randomized controlled trials of surgical procedures.

Objective: We aimed to compare treatment effect estimates from NRSs with PS analysis and RCTs of surgery.

Background: Evaluating a surgical procedure in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is challenging. Nonrandomized studies (NRSs) involving use of propensity score (PS) analysis to limit bias are of increasing interest.
