Purpose: Implantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a potential cell-based modality for cartilage repair. Currently, its clinical use largely surrounds focal cartilage defect repair and intra-articular injections in knee osteoarthritis. The MSCs' implantation efficacy as a treatment option for osteoarthritis remains contentious.

Purpose: Intra-articular corticosteroid injection is widely used for symptomatic relief of knee osteoarthritis. However, if pain is not improved which consequences a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is a potential risk of post-operative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of preoperative intra-articular corticosteroid injection increases the risk of PJI and to investigate a time frame in which the risk of subsequent infection is significantly increased.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to systematically review the clinical and functional outcomes following medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients under the age of 60 years old.

Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, studies between 2012 and April 2022, on patients 18-60 years old who have had a unicompartmental knee replacement evaluating patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), were included. The Knee Society Scores (KSS) clinical score was considered the primary outcome.

Background: The present study used a systematic review to analyse the risk of perioperative injections during arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. The questions of interest were whether perioperative local injection increases the infection risk and whether the number of postoperative revisions is increased.

Material And Methods: A systematic review of the U.
