Background: Tibial spine avulsion fractures (TSAFs) account for approximately 14% of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. This study aims to systematically review the current evidence for the operative management of paediatric TSAFs.
Methods: A search was carried out across four databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Femoral malversion is an under-recognized contributor to hip pain in younger adults. Under treatment is often a contributor to poor outcomes in hip preservation surgery. We reviewed the literature to analyse the outcomes of proximal femoral derotation osteotomy as a treatment for femoral malversion as well as propose our own management algorithm for treating such patients.

Age is often cited as a contraindication to undergoing meniscal repair due to concerns regarding failure rates. There has recently, however, been an increasing shift towards repair in older populations.

The aim of this systematic review was to determine implant survivorship, clinical outcomes and indications for revision in uncemented UKAs. A search strategy was employed using keywords related to UKAs and uncemented fixation to identify suitable studies.

A new 3D-printed porous acetabular shell has been made available with the option to insert multiple variable-angle locking screws. We sought to evaluate the early clinical and radiological outcomes of this construct.
