Unicompartmental medial knee arthritis can be successfully treated with either unicompartmental or total knee arthroplasty (UKA or TKA). Active patients often inquire about the relative likelihood of returning to a sport-related activity after surgery. Some advocates of UKA suggest that UKA can lead to a higher rate of return to sports activity postoperatively, but little information is available comparing the outcomes of UKA versus TKA. We identified 33 patients with UKA and 39 patients with TKA with minimum 2-year follow-up (4 ± 1.2 years) who had similar preoperative clinical and radiographic examinations. Clinical evaluation revealed no difference in the number of patients who returned to sports or their satisfaction, but patients with UKA returned to sports more quickly and exhibited better postoperative knee scores than TKA patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the effect of lactic acid bacteria-fermented corn protein hydrolysate (FCH) on fatigue in mice and explore the connection between fatigue-related indicators and intestinal microbial flora.
Methods: The fatigue model of mice was constructed by exercise endurance experiment. The anti-fatigue level of FCH was evaluated by measuring physiological and biochemical indexes in mouse serum, liver and skeletal muscle.
A Technique to Augment Arthroscopic Bankart Repair With or Without a Metal Block: A Comparison.

Arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) is associated with an increased failure rate over time. The Recenter implant, a metal block, is designed to reinforce capsulolabral repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the addition of the Recenter implant to ABR reduces the rate of recurrence in patients with glenohumeral anterior instability.

: Up to 27% of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction cases result in a residual positive pivot shift sign, indicating anteroposterior and rotational instability. This instability can compromise returning to sports and increase the risk of further injuries. The biomechanical role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in controlling internal knee rotation is well known.

: Multiligament knee injuries, involving damage to multiple stabilizing structures, present a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery, often resulting in knee instability and compromised function. While anatomic ligament reconstruction has been traditionally advocated, non-anatomic techniques may provide effective alternatives, particularly for patients with moderate functional demands who do not require high-level athletic performance. : In this study, we assessed the outcomes of a non-anatomic, hybrid surgical approach involving combined arthroscopic and open non-anatomic ligament reconstruction in 60 patients with multiligament knee injuries.

Background: Migrant construction workers involved in building infrastructure for mega-sporting events face elevated risks of illness and death. However, specific health outcomes for these workers have not been systematically reviewed, limiting opportunities to identify and address their challenges.
Methods: This study systematically reviewed health outcomes among migrant construction workers involved in mega-sporting events.
