Augmentation with Bone Marrow Aspirate Harvested from the Iliac Crest for Horizontal or Radial Meniscal Tears Yields Favorable Healing Rates in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Clinical Outcomes.

Background: As the importance of meniscus in joint function becomes more apparent, there is a growing interest in meniscus repair techniques. Notably, biological augmentation methods have shown promising results for meniscus healing, despite their challenges in practical implementation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate meniscus healing and clinical outcomes of meniscus repair with bone marrow aspirate for horizontal or radial tears.

Comparison of survival prediction models for bone metastases of the extremities following surgery.

Aims: This study aimed to compare the performance of survival prediction models for bone metastases of the extremities (BM-E) with pathological fractures in an Asian cohort, and investigate patient characteristics associated with survival.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 469 patients, who underwent surgery for BM-E between January 2009 and March 2022 at a tertiary hospital in South Korea. Postoperative survival was calculated using the PATHFx3.
