Successful ACL repair by dynamic intraligamentary stabilisation is non-inferior in functional performance and worse in proprioception compared to healthy controls in a case-matched study.

Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to assess non-inferiority in functional performance of the knee after dynamic intraligamentary stabilisation (DIS) surgery at a minimal follow-up of 1 year compared to healthy controls, based on limb symmetry index (LSI) of the single leg hop test (SLH). Additionally, functional performance based on the single leg triple hop test (SLTH) and side hop test (SH), proprioception and subjective outcome were evaluated.

Methods: A total of 45 DIS patients were 1-to-1 matched to a healthy control.

Comparison of 5-year cup and stem migration between ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene bearing in press-fit total hip arthroplasty: a randomised controlled trial using radiostereometric analysis.

Introduction: The inelasticity of ceramic bearings might affect primary stability and migration of implants in press-fit total hip arthroplasty (THA). This randomised controlled trial compares migration patterns of the uncemented Delta-TT cup and H-MAX S stem between ceramic and polyethylene liners, up to 5 years follow-up.

Methods: Patients receiving primary press-fit THA were randomly allocated to a ceramic (  28) or polyethylene (  25) liner.

Mid-term clinical outcomes of the uncemented Robert Mathys pressfit cup.

Background: The use of uncemented cups during total hip arthroplasty (THA) has gained popularity in recent years. The Robert Mathys (RM) pressfit cup, an uncemented monoblock implant is expected to preserve bone density due to its composition and external surface, while reducing backside wear with its monoblock construction. These factors should lead to a high survival rate of the implant.

Analyzing Learning Curve Effects: Total Ankle Replacement Design Switch and Long-Term Survival.

Different aspects of the learning curve in total ankle replacement (TAR) have been studied in the short to mid-term, with 30 cases often considered critical. However, its impact on long-term (10- and 15-year) survival remains unclear. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed 77 consecutive TARs performed by one orthopedic surgeon.

The minimal important change is not a universal fixed value across diagnoses when using the FAOS and FAAM in patients undergoing elective foot and ankle surgery.

Purpose: This study aimed to calculate region and diagnosis-specific minimal important changes (MICs) of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) in patients requiring foot and ankle surgery and to assess their variability across different foot and ankle diagnoses.

Methods: The study used routinely collected data from patients undergoing elective foot and ankle surgery. Patients had been invited to complete the FAOS and FAAM preoperatively and at 3-6 months after surgery, along with two anchor questions encompassing change in pain and daily function.

Mid-term survival of the Optimys short stem: A prospective case series of 500 patients.

Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of total hip arthroplasty procedures in the younger patient population. This active group has higher expectations of their prosthesis in comparison to the older population, and there is a greater physical demand for the prosthesis. Short femoral stems were introduced to retain proximal bone stock and joint biomechanics and became more common to implant in this specific population.

Outcomes of Total Ankle Replacement with Preoperative Varus Deformity.

Historically, coronal plane deformities of greater than 10° to 15° have been deemed contraindications for total ankle replacement (TAR). However, recent studies show satisfactory results in TAR with severe preoperative varus deformity. When correctly applying ancillary procedures, preoperative varus deformity can be structurally corrected, resulting in similar clinical scores to those obtained with "regular TAR.

Incidence of Stomach, Liver, and Colorectal Cancers by Geography and Social Vulnerability Among American Indian and Alaska Native Populations, 2010-2019.

Social determinants of health and associated systems, policies, and practices are important drivers of health disparities. American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations in the United States have elevated incidence rates of stomach, liver, and colorectal cancers compared with other racial/ethnic groups. In this study, we examined incidence rates of 3 types of gastrointestinal cancer among non-Hispanic AI/AN (NH-AI/AN) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) populations by geographic region and Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) score.

Only Low Patients' Expectations Are Prognostic for Dissatisfaction With Performing Work-Related Knee-Straining Activities After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study.

Objective: To investigate whether preoperative expectations regarding performing work-related knee-straining activities were associated with being dissatisfied 6 months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) among working patients, and, to identify prognostic factors for being dissatisfied with performing these work-related knee-straining activities.
