Background: The term (LMORT) has emerged to characterize the tear patterns of the lateral meniscus in many patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. There is a lack of data regarding the exact incidence according to the types of LMORT and clinical outcomes.
Purposes: (1) To investigate the incidence of LMORT according to type in patients with acute ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and (2) to identify healing status after repair of LMORT via second-look arthroscopy and clinical outcomes.
Background: Little is known about the threshold of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at which patients perceive to have attained a substantial clinical benefit (SCB) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Purpose: To determine the SCB value of PROs 1 year after ACLR in the general population and to determine factors that predict SCB attainment.
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Purpose: Tibiofemoral synchronization technique matches the rotational alignment of the tibial component to the femoral component during the total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The rotational axis of the proximal tibia can be changed by this technique, which affects tibial torsion postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the tibiofemoral synchronization technique affect the tibial torsion, and the lower limb rotation after primary TKA.

Posterior and posterolateral approaches offer a direct approach for the reduction and fixation of plates, but they have several limitations. Here, we have proposed a modified anterolateral approach, which ensures a safe and effective technique for the reduction and fixation of posterolateral fracture fragments, aided by our innovative rim plate.

With the developments in medical information systems and the widespread establishment of medical information systems that include computerized order communication systems (OCSs), there has been an increase in the establishment of computerized chemotherapy order systems. In this study, we aim to design an improved computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system that integrates a chemotherapy ordering system that can issue a customized order in response to a provider's diverse chemotherapy prescription needs with an automated issuance of dosage, treatment schedule, and treatment method. We expect the newly designed system to be able to prevent the common errors in complex chemotherapy ordering systems and reduce the time required for ordering.

These are mostly based on empiric experience and use the systemic administration of an antibiotic in conjunction with surgical intervention. To ensure decontamination of the affected implant surface(s), chemical and/or mechanical debridement is used.
