Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how patellar denervation (PD) affects pain, function, and kneeling ability in patients after undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) due to medial knee osteoarthritis.
  • Patients were divided into two groups (PD and non-PD) and assessed using various clinical scores and their ability to kneel was measured post-surgery.
  • Results showed that PD improved knee function and reduced pain, enhancing kneeling ability, although patients' self-perception of kneeling didn't always match their actual performance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how the shape of the patella (kneecap) affects knee function and joint alignment after a specific type of knee surgery called unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).
  • It involved analyzing data from 207 osteoarthritis patients, classified into three groups based on patellar morphology (Wiberg I, II, and III), and measured knee function scores and patellar alignment through various imaging parameters.
  • Results showed that patients with Wiberg III patellae had higher rates of knee pain and worse functional scores after surgery, suggesting that tailored surgical approaches may be needed for this group to improve outcomes.

Background: Case-based learning (CBL) utilizing three-dimensional (3D) printed hip joint models is a problem-solving teaching method that combines the tactile and visual advantages of 3D-printed models with CBL. This study aims to investigate the impact of integrating 3D printing with CBL on learning developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Methods: We conducted a prospective study from 2022 to 2023, including 120 fourth-year clinical medical students at Xuzhou Medical University.

Background: The main objective of this study was to investigate whether the use of bone cement in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has an effect on postoperative coagulation status and bleeding.

Methods: 153 patients who underwent unilateral TKA between September 2019 and February 2023 were collected and divided into Bone and Cement&Bone groups according to whether bone cement was used to seal the bone medullary canal intraoperatively. Routine blood and thromboelastography (TEG) examinations were performed on the day before, the first day and the seventh day after surgery; postoperative bleeding, drainage, transfusion rate and the number of people suffering from deep venous thrombosis (DVT) were recorded.
