An Eponymous History of Hemostatic, Tissue, and Reduction Clamps in Orthopedic Surgery.

Eponyms are widely used in the field of orthopedic surgery, including for surgical instruments. Although their use is at times controversial, an appreciation of the history behind eponymous terms allows one to both recognize the shortcomings of the past and simultaneously be inspired by ingenious inventors. The primary purpose of this review is to provide a historical perspective of clamps and forceps commonly used in orthopedic surgery, to better appreciate the evolution of their use over time, and to inspire innovation to constantly improve upon surgical instrumentation as the field of orthopedic surgery advances.

Systematic Review of Injuries in the Men's and Women's National Basketball Association.

Background: Numerous studies have reported the incidence and outcomes of injuries in the men's and women's National Basketball Association (NBA and WNBA, respectively).

Purpose: To synthesize published data regarding the incidence and outcomes of all injuries in the NBA and WNBA in a comprehensive review.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

No difference in failure rates or clinical outcomes between non-stemmed constrained condylar prostheses and posterior-stabilized prostheses for primary total knee arthroplasty.

Purpose: There has been an increase in the use of unlinked constrained condylar knee (CCK) prostheses in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for cases with significant deformities that cannot be adequately balanced in flexion and extension. However, the literature on its outcomes is limited. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether there are any clinic or radiographic outcome differences for a primary, non-stemmed, unlinked constrained TKA as compared to a control group of posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA using the same implant design.
