Background: Computer-assisted navigation surgery (CAS) during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may help improve outcomes for patients with extra-articular deformity (EAD); however, this has not been extensively studied. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes following primary TKA using CAS in patients with EAD.
Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to March 3, 2023 for studies investigating surgical outcomes of using the navigation system for TKA to treat patients with EAD.
Purpose: There is lack of intraoperative consensus on the distal femur anterior resected surface shape that allows reliable rotational alignment assessment during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aimed to evaluate the ratio and prevalence of anterior femoral resection surface intraoperatively.
Materials And Methods: The study included 234 osteoarthritis patients with varus knees and not valgus knees or deformities.
Background: Peripheral tears of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, known as "ramp lesions," are commonly found in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees but are frequently missed on routine evaluation.
Purpose: To predict the presence of ramp lesions in ACL-deficient knees using machine learning methods with associated risk factors.
Study Design: Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2.
Article Synopsis
- Ultrasonography (US)-guided steroid injections can enhance treatment accuracy for patients with de Quervain disease, especially those with a septum dividing tendon compartments.
- This study compared the effectiveness of targeting only the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) subcompartment versus both the EPB and abductor pollicis longus (APL) in treating this condition.
- The primary goals were to determine if injections into the EPB alone led to lower pain scores and fewer complications compared to injections targeting both subcompartments at 6 weeks and 3 months post-injection.*
Purpose: The objectives of this study were to identify the relationship between fracture characteristics and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries in terrible triad injuries of the elbow.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2018, 60 patients who underwent surgery for terrible triad elbow injuries were retrospectively reviewed. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments, patients were stratified into those who had intact or low-grade partial MCL tears (low-grade MRI-MCL group) and those who had high-grade partial or full-thickness MCL tears (high-grade MRI-MCL group).
Background: We hypothesized that volar locking pate fixation using a minimum number of screws-four in the distal row and two in the shaft of the plate-will provide sufficient stability for unstable extra-articular fractures of the distal radius. We aimed to compare the biomechanical properties of different numbers and locations of screws in volar locking plate fixation and describe the clinical and radiological outcome of plate fixation using a minimum number of screws for distal radius fractures.
Methods: We divided 48 artificial radius fracture bones into four groups (group A-D) based on the number and location of screws used for fixation with volar locking plates.
Background: We investigated sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography arthrography (CTA), on the basis of arthroscopic findings, to diagnose acetabular labral tears and chondral lesions.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the results of MRI and subsequent CTA in 36 hips that underwent arthroscopic surgery (33 patients; 17 males [17 hips] and 16 females [19 hips]; average age, 35 years). All patients had positive impingement test results and groin pain.
