New technology: Custom made implants, patient-specific alignment, and navigation - How to convince my hospital it's worth it: Current concepts.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) faces significant challenges, including lower survival rates and higher revision rates than total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To address these issues, technological advancements like custom-made implants (CMI), patient-specific alignment (PSA), and computer-assisted systems (CAS) are being explored. These innovations aim to tailor procedures to individual joint morphology, soft tissue balance, and limb alignment, moving away from the traditional "one size fits all" approach.

[Epidemiology and Mortality in Hip Fractures: Impact of Surgical Latency in a Cohort from a Public Hospital in Chile].

Aim: Describe the epidemiology and mortality in hip fractures and their relationship with surgical latency.

Methods: Retrospective study of patients with hip fracture, operated in a center between 2009-2016. Non-operated patients, periprosthetic fractures, and stress fractures were excluded.

[Translated article] 4 Domain Sports PROM in Spanish: Cross-cultural adaptation in the Chilean population and reliability analysis.

Background: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are tools of increasing interest in the sports population. The purpose of this study was to perform the cross-cultural adaptation and reliability analysis of the 4 Domain Sports Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (4 DSP) into Spanish.

Methods: A six-stage cross-cultural adaptation protocol was executed to obtain the Spanish version of the 4 DSP (S-4DSP).

Specific considerations in female patients with patellar instability: current concepts.

Prior literature suggests that patellofemoral instability (PFI) is significantly more prevalent in women than in men. This higher prevalence is commonly attributed to anatomical differences between sexes, particularly with patellofemoral alignment. These differences encompass a higher rate of trochlear dysplasia (TD), patella alta, an increased Q angle, and soft tissue imbalances.
