Background: Mitral annular calcification with valve dysfunction remains a challenging syndrome. Operative risk is high, and available transcatheter therapies are limited.
Methods: This study describes our initial experience with a novel procedure to address large mitral annuli when no surgical or trial-based transcatheter mitral valve replacement device is available.

Tibial spine avulsion injuries, including fractures, are a variant of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Treatment historically consisted of open reduction and internal fixation of the avulsion fracture, with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction considered in cases of failed open reduction and internal fixation or residual laxity. However, improved instrumentation has led to the advancement of various arthroscopic techniques for addressing these injuries.

Objectives: To (1) pilot a study of behavioural characterisation based on risk and time preferences in clinically well-characterised individuals, (2) assess the distribution of preferences in this population and (3) explore differences in preferences between individuals with 'lifestyle-related' (LS) and 'non-lifestyle-related' (NLS) cardiovascular diseases.
Design: Cross-sectional study with an economic online experiment to collect risk and time preferences, a detailed clinical characterisation and a sociodemographic and lifestyle survey. A definition of LS and NLS groups was developed.

Determining what innovation means for healthcare is becoming increasingly complex. Health policy addresses this challenge by designing initiatives to improve healthcare quality and efficiency, one example being the German Innovation Fund of 2015. We investigate the innovation concept underlying 25 years of German health policy to analyse which and why some innovations are sustainable in a healthcare system.

Purpose: To evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of recently introduced meniscal repair devices with a hand-tied, inside-out meniscal suture in a human meniscus model.
Methods: In detached adult human menisci, vertical longitudinal cuts were created 3 mm from the synovial-meniscal junction, simulating a bucket-handle meniscal tear. Each cut was repaired using a single device.
