Background: Mismatch between osteochondral allograft (OCA) donor and recipient sex has been shown to negatively affect outcomes. This study accounts for additional donor variables and clinically relevant outcomes.
Purpose: To evaluate whether donor sex, age, donor-recipient sex mismatch, and duration of graft storage affect clinical outcomes and failure rates after knee OCA transplantation.

Background: Knee injuries resulting in purely cartilaginous defects are rare, and controversy remains regarding the reliability of chondral-only fixation.
Purpose: To systematically review the literature for fixation methods and outcomes after primary fixation of chondral-only defects within the knee.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 5.

Transthyretin Cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an increasingly recognised cause of heart failure in our elderly patients with preserved ejection fraction. Patients with ATTR-CA who require permanent pacemaker implantation often have preserved ejection fraction and do not meet the clinical indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In these patients, left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) can be a reasonable option to maximise physiological activation of the left ventricle.

Objective: Successful embryo implantation is contingent upon the intricate interaction between the endometrium and the blastocyst. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) signifies the clinical challenge of failing pregnancy post-transfer of high-quality embryos, fresh or frozen, in at least three in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, often in women under 40 years. Recent studies identify impaired blastocyst maternal tissue communication among recurrent implantation failure causes.

Objectives: Treatment decisions for severe aortic stenosis (AS) are complex, since there are two active and comparable options: transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement. The disease predominantly affects older individuals, who are frequently comorbid with from cognitive impairment. This study aimed to establish a screening-triggered system to assess the decision-making capacity of patients with AS, support their decision-making, and facilitate referrals to specialists when necessary.
