Objectives: Active apex correction (APC) is posterior tethering technique for correction of early onset scoliosis (EOS) via reverse modulation at the apex. Active apex correction has been increasingly used worldwide.
Purpose: Proximal tibia stress fractures present a challenge when performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in knee arthritis (KA). The literature on treatment modalities for stress fractures with arthritis is varied and not systematically reviewed. We aimed to answer the questions: (1) Is long-stem TKA sufficient for stress fractures in arthritic knees? (2) Should stress fracture and KA be addressed simultaneously? (3) What is the role of augmentative procedures in stress fractures with knee arthritis? (4) Can a unified algorithm be established?
Methods: The PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched for keywords such as stress fracture, knee arthritis and total knee arthroplasty, published from January 1995 to 29 May 2022.
Historically, osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB), including spinal TB, was treated with prolonged course of antitubercular therapy (ATT). Due to various challenges, there has been reluctance to explore the use of short-course ATT in spinal TB. However, with the success of short-course ATT being demonstrated in other forms of extrapulmonary TB, the subject is open for debate again.

Objective: The aim of this study was to design an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for elective lumbar spine fusion by posterior approach, and to compare the results after ERAS implementation in patients undergoing elective lumbar spine fusion with conventional perioperative care.
Summary Of Background Data: Despite wide adoption in other surgical disciplines, ERAS has only been recently implemented in spine surgery.
