Efficacy of non-pharmacological treatments for knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Purpose: This study aims to conduct a network meta-analysis to compare the clinical efficacy of seven distinct non-pharmacological therapies for knee osteoarthritis. We hope that our research findings can provide reference for clinical practitioners in formulating treatment plans.

Methods: Through a computer-based search, we systematically retrieved randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on non-pharmacological therapies for knee osteoarthritis from eight databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and The Cochrane Library.

Autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation is effective in the treatment of single cystic osteochondral lesions of the talus and the prognostic impact of age should be emphasized.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors associated with autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation for the treatment of single cystic osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT).

Methods: The clinical data of patients with single cystic OLT undergoing autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation at the Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery of our hospital between 2018 and 2022, including complete follow-up, were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging data from each patient were imported into Mimics software to measure the surface area, volume and depth of the lesions.

Evaluation of the efficacy of autogenous tibial periosteal bone grafting in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus and analysis of three-dimensional factors in the necrotic zone.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the clinical value of autogenous tibial periosteal bone grafting in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) and analyze the three-dimensional factors in the necrotic zone of the talus.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 36 patients who underwent autogenous tibial periosteal bone grafting in the Foot and Ankle Surgery Department of our hospital between September 2018 and September 2022. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Chinese Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) were used to evaluate treatment efficacy prior to surgery and at the last follow-up.

Analysis of preoperative and postoperative depression and anxiety in patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the psychological status of patients with Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) and evaluate the effect of autologous osteoperiosteal transplantation (AOPT) on their psychological well-being.

Methods: Fifty patients with Hepple V OLT who underwent AOPT at the Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Surgery Ward of Xi'an Honghui Hospital from November 2021 to May 2023 were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of preoperative symptoms of anxiety/depression.

Mapping knowledge landscapes and emerging trends of robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty: A bibliometric analysis.

The robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty has gained increasing attention in the research field. To date, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis has been carried out on this topic. The present study aimed to introduce the research status and hotspots and explore the field of robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty from a bibliometric perspective.

Clinical effect of sidong wubu method in treatment of closed fracture of upper limbs.

Objective: To objectively evaluate the clinically curative effect of sidong wubu method on closed fracture of upper limbs.

Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was used to divide 654 patients with closed fracture of upper limbs at early stage into two groups. 298 patients in the surgical group were treated with open reduction and internal fixation and 356 patients in the treatment group with sidong wubu method for 6 months as a course of treatment.
