Surgical management of Charcot foot - The advancements over the past decade.

Charcot neuroarthropathy is a progressive, destructive condition leading to deformity, dysfunction and, in some cases, amputation. Much evolution has occurred over the last couple of decades in the management of Charcot foot with a focus on developing limb salvage and reconstructive techniques.

Editorial Commentary: Simulation-Based Training in Orthopaedic Surgery: Current Evidence and Limitations.

The challenges faced by residents because of lack of exposure as a result of working-time directives-and now the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic limiting nonurgent and elective operating-reinforce the need for evidence-based simulation training. Although a wide range of training platforms have been developed, very few have shown transfer of skills.

International guideline changes and the incidence of infective endocarditis: a systematic review.

The objective of this study was to determine the impact on incident infective endocarditis (IE) of guideline recommendations to restrict indications for antibiotic prophylaxis. We conducted a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for articles published between 2007 and 2015 using mesh terms relevant to the research question.
