Article Synopsis
- This study compared absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures in patients undergoing A1 pulley release, focusing on scar quality and postoperative outcomes.
- The study included 41 patients, with no significant differences in scar assessments or complication rates between the two suture types.
- Ultimately, the choice of suture material may depend on factors like personal preference and cost, rather than significant differences in outcomes.
Purpose: To study the effects of rotator cuff tear size, operation time, and the use of anticoagulant on blood loss in elderly patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery.
Methods: Patients aged older than 65 years who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with subacromial decompression at our hospital from January 2015 to December 2021 were identified. We measured hemoglobin levels preoperatively, postoperatively, and 7 days after surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify how common periprosthetic occult femoral fractures are during primary cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) and what factors contribute to their development.
- Out of 199 hips examined, 10.6% had undetected fractures, with a significant relationship found between these fractures and female patients, who had a higher risk as compared to males.
- The findings suggest that female patients with unexplained early thigh pain or intraoperative fractures around the lesser trochanter should be evaluated with a CT scan for potential occult fractures.
The effect of Parkinson's disease on total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

February 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the effect of Parkinson's disease (PD) on clinical outcomes and complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our systematic review was conducted to answer the following questions: (1) does TKA negatively affect clinical outcomes in patients with PD? and (2) does TKA cause more complications in patients with PD?
Methods: A rigorous and systematic approach was used, and each selected study was evaluated for methodological quality. Data on study design, total number of cases enrolled, follow-up duration, PD severity, clinical outcome, and complications after TKA were analyzed.
Background: The viability of augmenting small-diameter hamstring autografts with allografts remains unclear. Recent studies have reported different clinical results after allograft augmentation. Hence, we sought to determine whether hamstring autografts and hybrid grafts differed in terms of failure rates and functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
