Purpose: Studies demonstrate similar long-term Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes in patients with significant versus minimal preoperative coronal plane deformity. Limited short-term outcomes data, which determine costs of care, exist.
Methods: We retrospectively explored the impact of preoperative coronal plane deformity on operative time, length of stay (LOS), and discharge to skilled nursing facility (SNF) in TKA.
Introduction: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) are essential for evaluating patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While wearable technologies offer objective measures of physical function through Apple HealthKit, their relationship with PROs in TKA patients is not well understood. We investigated the association between commonly used PROs and objective measures of physical function in patients undergoing TKA.

- MucR is a transcriptional regulator found in Brucella species that influences gene expression related to virulence by binding to AT-rich DNA regions.
- MucR is part of the Ros/MucR family in α-proteobacteria and shares functional similarities with H-NS proteins, although they lack sequence homology.
- This study uses cryo-EM and other methods to reveal that MucR and its homolog Ml5 form a unique circular structure that can condense DNA, linking nucleoid structure to transcription regulation.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand how objective measures of daily activity change following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Objective data on post-operative changes in daily physical activity following UKA are limited, highlighting the need for studies using wearable technologies to provide real-time assessments of recovery.
Methods: This pilot study included a secondary analysis of a prospective study of 33 consecutive UKA patients, with data collected using an Apple Watch and a digital care management application.
