The application of a digital therapeutic reveals superior outcome compared to standard care in patients with anterior knee pain-a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Anterior knee pain is a frequent symptom caused by disorders like patellofemoral pain syndrome or patella tendon tendinitis, which is commonly treated conservatively. The aim of the current study was to examine the effectiveness of a digital therapeutic (DT) versus German standard care through a prospective, randomized, multicenter controlled trial.

Methods: Study participants were recruited in 9 orthopedic specialist centers diagnosed with anterior knee pain and a NPRS score of ≥ 4.

Perioperative complications in osteotomies around the knee: a study in 858 cases.

Introduction: Eight hundred and fifty-eight consecutive osteotomies around the knee joint were analyzed retrospectively to detect intra- and early postoperative complications in a period of 4 weeks postoperative. Indications for osteotomy were unilateral gonarthritis or torsional deformities resulting in femoropatellar instability or anterior knee pain.

Materials And Methods: Etiology of deformity, technique and mode of correction and level of osteotomy were registered.

Corrective osteotomies of the lower limb show a low intra- and perioperative complication rate-an analysis of 1003 patients.

Purpose: The purpose of corrective osteotomies in posttraumatic and congenital deformities is anatomic limb reconstruction and joint preservation. The aim of the present study was to analyse intra- and perioperative complications of osteotomies in the lower limb.

Methods: One thousand and three unselected and prospectively registered osteotomies of the long bones of the lower limb, performed between 1995 and 2013, were analysed.
