Background: Coronal lower extremity malalignment and improper implant position have been described as risk factors for aseptic tibial loosening following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, several prior studies have shown no association between alignment and implant loosening. Meanwhile, there is increasing interest in kinematic alignment.

An extension to the Consolidated Standards for Reporting (CONSORT) checklist provides authors with a framework for reporting harms in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to measure harms reporting among RCTs cited as supporting evidence for the AAOS CPG on the treatment of clavicle fractures.

Leveraging patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and healthcare costs, this study compared patient outcomes and value achieved through watchful waiting (WW) vs. physical therapy (PT) for conservative management of frozen shoulder.
