Robotic-Assisted Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Provides Better FJS-12 Score and Lower Mid-Term Complication Rates Compared to Conventional Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

: Robotic-assisted unicompartmental arthroplasty (rUKA) is gradually gaining more popularity than its conventional counterpart (cUKA). Current studies are highly heterogenic in terms of methodology and the reported results; therefore, establishing the optimal recommendation for patients becomes less straightforward. For this reason, this meta-analysis aims to provide an up-to-date evidence-based analysis on current evidence regarding clinical outcomes and complication rates following rUKA and cUKA.

Surgical decisions on implant-related parameters can enhance knowledge transfer for glenoid bone grafting in primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a scoping review of heterogeneity sources.

Purpose: The purpose of the present scoping review is to identify sources of heterogeneity in reporting domains that have the potential to improve surgical decision-making in reverse shoulder arthroplasty associated with glenoid bone grafting.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the JBI and PRISMA ScR guidelines. Articles covering glenoid bone grafting at the time of reverse shoulder replacement, published between 2012 and 2022 in MEDLINE, Scopus, Epistemonikos, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, were searched.

The Effect of Blood Flow Restriction during Low-Load Resistance Training Unit on Knee Flexor Muscle Fatigue in Recreational Athletes: A Randomized Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study.

Despite the growing popularity of training with a controlled form of vascular occlusion, known as blood flow restriction (BFR) training, in the rehabilitation of orthopedic patients and sports medicine, there remains ample space for understanding the basis of its mechanism. The pilot study assessed the effect of BFR during a low-load resistance training unit on knee flexor muscle fatigue, intending to decide whether a larger trial is needed and feasible. : The study used a prospective, randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled design.
