Background: The Zimmer iASSIST system is an accelerometer-based, portable navigation device for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that does not require the use of a large console for alignment feedback as required in computer-assisted surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the accelerometer-based system in component positioning and overall mechanical alignment.
Methods: Two groups of 30 patients each with primary osteoarthritis underwent TKA using either conventional method or Zimmer iASSIST navigation in 2013 was retrospectively studied.
Background: Tears of the subscapularis are not as common as the other rotator cuff muscles and hence not as many arthroscopic repair techniques have been previously described in the literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes in patients undergoing arthroscopic subscapularis repairs (with and without repairs of the other cuff muscles) using a technique devised by the senior author of this study.
Methods: A retrospective study of 40 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic subscapularis repair at a single centre, by a single surgeon from 2009 to 2014.
Purpose: To compare the 6-month outcome of Weil osteotomy with distal metatarsal mini-invasive osteotomy (DMMO) in 33 patients with lesser toe metatarsalgia.
Methods: Records of 33 patients who underwent Weil osteotomy (n=20, 41 toes) or DMMO (n=13, 22 toes) for lesser toe metatarsalgia by a single surgeon were reviewed. 25 of them had a concurrent procedure on the 1st toe.
