Radiographic Changes and Clinical Outcomes Associated with Two Different Press-Fit Humeral Stems in Primary Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is used commonly for a wide range of indications. The complications after the total shoulder replacements have been reported to be related with the prosthesis design. The type of the humeral stem is a consideration to reduce complication.

Association Between Knee Flexor Strength and Preservation of the Tibial Attachment of the Sartorial Fascia During Hamstring Tendon Harvest.

Background: During anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, there are various autograft options. Donor-site morbidity is an important consideration while deciding the type of the autograft. Gracilis and semitendinosus autografts are commonly used in ACL reconstruction, resulting in weakness of the hamstring muscle.

Use of tranexamic acid may reduce the need for routine tourniquet use in total knee arthroplasty.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tranexamic acid (TXA) administration on bleeding control and to compare its utilization with and without simultaneous use of conventional pneumatic tourniquets during total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Patients And Methods: Between January 2017 and December 2017, a total of 204 patients (23 males, 181 females; mean age: 66±6.9 years; range, 45 to 86 years) who underwent TKA for Stage 4 gonarthrosis were retrospectively analyzed.
