Background: Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold standard treatment for degenerative joint disease, but it carries a significant risk of blood loss that may require transfusion. Various techniques are implemented to reduce the possibility of the need for allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). To this end, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) in decreasing blood loss following primary TKA.

Introduction And Significance: The Fulkerson osteotomy, also known as anteromedial tibial tubercle transfer, is a surgical procedure used to address patellar instability. It aims to restore the extensor mechanism of the knee, primarily benefiting patients with recurrent patellar dislocations.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a patient with chronic recurrent patellar dislocation.

Background: Tourniquet application in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has many benefits and may have a role in the incidence of perioperative complications. Our aims were to examine the safety of applying a tourniquet for a limited amount of time during primary unilateral TKA (specifically, during cementation and final component fixation only) and to compare perioperative complications between the limited-application group and the full-application group.

Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled study of 62 patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA.

Introduction And Importance: Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a common soft tissue tumor in hands and feet; however, it is rare in knee joints.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 52-year-old female who had a retropatellar tendon giant cell tumor (GCT) in the right knee, causing vague anterior knee pain.

Clinical Discussion: Anterior knee pain is a challenging complaint in orthopedics due to the multiple causative reasons, the combination of several complex etiologies, and the lack of clear guidelines for an effective treatment.

Introduction: There are several possible treatment options for the treatment of focal cartilage defects in the knee. Determining the appropriate treatment option to compensate for an osteochondral defect caused by osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in adults is difficult. This study was conducted to clarify the importance of Autogenous Osteochondral Grafting by a mosaicplasty method in treating OCD, relieving pain, and improving knee function.

Introduction: Core decompression is a well-known modality for treating the early stages of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN), however, several methods have been suggested to augment this procedure and improve the outcomes.

Case Report: A 52 male was diagnosed with a stage I AVN of the femoral head and treated with core decompression (CD) and injection of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs). The MRI showed full healing of the lesion after 3 months with significant clinical and functional improvement.
