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.
Background: The aims of this study are 1) to assess whether open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) techniques for fractures of the proximal radius are associated with the range of motion (ROM), 2) to determine the incidence of hardware-related complications and removal following plate and screw fixation of the proximal radius, and 3) to evaluate whether the safe-zone definition is described in the literature and its relation to the ROM.
Methods: A literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Studies reporting ROM in patients undergoing ORIF for radial head or neck fractures were included.

Purpose: To compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at 1-year and 2-year follow-up after treatment for anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials and prospective studies that evaluated and reported PROMs after a capsulolabral repair (with or without remplissage), bone augmentation, or nonoperative treatment to treat anterior shoulder instability at both 1-year and 2-year follow-up were included. PROMs were compared between 1-year and 2-year follow-up; forest plots with mean difference were created to compare baseline, 1-year, and 2-year follow-up; and scatterplots were created to visualize clinical improvement over time.
