The purpose of this systematic review is to collate results of studies comparing fixed and mobile bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), focusing on complications and timing for reoperations. Out of 723 results derived from PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane database search engines on bearings in arthroplasty, 10 studies comparing clinical results of fixed bearings to mobile bearings in UKA were found eligible for analysis. The reoperation rate was calculated using a novel method such as reoperations per hundred component years, and the causes of specific reoperations were investigated. The overall reoperation rate per hundred component years was similar between the mobile bearings (1.392) and fixed bearings (1.377); however, mobile bearings were more susceptible to reoperations in cases with aseptic loosening (0.393>0.255), progression of arthritis (0.428>0.357) and implant dislocation (0.286>0). The overall incidence of complications is similar for fixed and mobile bearing designs in UKA. The discussion on complications presented above may assist surgeons in their choice of bearing design.

Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences (DIBINEM), Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, 40123 Bologna, Italy.
Pseudotumors are defined as exuberant non-neoplastic inflammatory masses. This condition can be associated with hip and knee arthroplasty but has not been reported in Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA). This paper reports a pseudotumor that formed following TAA, highlighting its clinical presentation, management, and histopathology.

Background: In medial mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA), the position of the bearing does not correspond to the planned position which will increasing the risk of bearing dislocation. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the malposition of the femoral and tibial components and the phenomenon of bearing deviation using postoperative radiological measurements.
Methods: One hundred twenty patients who underwent mobile-bearing uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA) at our hospital between January and August 2023 were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Department of Public Financial Management and Accounting, Ethiopian Civil Service University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
This study aims to assess the effects of financial technology on the cost efficiency of commercial banks in Ethiopia. Secondary panel data were collected from the audited annual reports of seventeen commercial banks for twelve fiscal years between 2011 and 2022. The cost efficiency of banks was investigated via a stochastic frontier approach.

Background And Purpose: In contemporary medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), non-lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is not considered a contraindication. However, we still lack knowledge on the association of PFOA severity on patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after mUKA. We aimed to examine the association between PFOA severity and PROM-score changes after mUKA.

Introduction: Mobile-bearing (MB) inserts, designed to minimize aseptic loosening and to reduce contact stresses leading to polyethylene wear, are an alternative to fixed-bearing (FB) inserts. Most studies have shown no significant difference between MB and FB constructs, and there is limited long-term data comparing the two constructs [1,2,3,4]. The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of a randomized controlled trial comparing MB versus FB inserts on patients with minimum 20-year follow-up.
