Association of patellofemoral osteoarthritis on patient-reported outcomes after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study.

Background And Purpose:  In contemporary medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), non-lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is not considered a contraindication. However, we still lack knowledge on the association of PFOA severity on patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after mUKA. We aimed to examine the association between PFOA severity and PROM-score changes after mUKA.

Moderate sedation: what radiologists need to know.

Objective: The number of procedures conducted within the radiology department using moderate sedation is rising. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is an inconsistency in the education of radiology trainees regarding moderate sedation.

Conclusion: The purpose of this article is to give an overview and concise summary of the use of moderate sedation as put forth by the American Society of Anesthesia, American College of Radiology, and Society of Interventional Radiology.
