Superior pain relief and quality of life with autografts using semitendinosus or patellar ligament compared to allografts in meniscal reconstruction: A 2-year prospective comparative study.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the 2-year clinical outcomes of meniscal reconstructions using allograft versus autograft tissue, with a focus on patient-reported outcomes, complication rates and surgical revision rates.

Methods: This prospective comparative cohort study included 60 patients (ages 18-60 years) undergoing meniscal reconstruction. Patients were divided into an allograft group (n = 31) and an autograft group (n = 29; Hamstring tendon = 25 and patellar tendons = 4).

Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Robot-Assisted vs. Freehand Screw Placement in Femoral Neck Fractures: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Femoral neck fractures pose significant surgical challenges with high morbidity and mortality. Traditional freehand screw placement often yields variable outcomes. Recent robotic advancements offer a promising alternative with enhanced precision.

Satisfactory 2-year outcome of minimal invasive hybrid stabilization with double treated screws for unstable osteoporotic spinal fractures.

Purpose: This study evaluates whether the fracture level alters the outcomes of minimally invasive hybrid stabilization (MIHS) with double-threaded, uncemented polyaxial screws for unstable osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included 73 patients (71.23% females, mean age: 79.
