Native joint preservation has gained importance in recent years. This is mostly to find solutions for limitations of arthroplasty. In the knee joint, the menisci perform critical functions, adding stability during range of motion and efficiently transferring load across the tibiofemoral articulation while protecting the cartilage. The menisci are the most common injury seen by orthopedicians, especially in the younger active patients. Advances in technology and our knowledge on functioning of the knee joint have made meniscus repair an important mode of treatment. This review summarizes the various techniques of meniscus tear repair and also describes biological enhancements of healing.

Treatment of a collapse fracture of the anterolateral tibial plateau with a lateral locking plate and the Jail screw technique.
BMC Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group Suqian Hospital, Suqian, China.
Background: To explore the advantages of a lateral tibial locking plate combined with Jail screw fixation in the treatment of anterolateral tibial plateau collapse fracture (ATPCF).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with ATPCFs admitted to our hospital from February 2019 to February 2023. Twenty-six patients were successfully included, including 15 males and 11 females, with an average age of 58.
Impact of intermediate-dose tertiary prophylaxis on quality of life and psychological aspects of adult patients with severe/moderate hemophilia A.
Hematology
December 2025
Department of Hematology, The Third People's Hospital of Chengdu, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu Second Clinical College of Chongqing Medical University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Objectives: Whether intermediate-dose tertiary prophylaxis can improve quality of life and psychological health in adults with severe/moderate hemophilia A has not been determined. This research aims to explore the impact of intermediate-dose tertiary prophylaxis with recombinant human FVIII (rhFVIII) on quality of life, anxiety and depression in such individuals transitioned from on-demand treatment.
Methods: This retrospective analysis collected data from July 2019 to July 2022.
How many people in the Netherlands live with a hip, knee, or shoulder replacement?
Bone Jt Open
January 2025
Department of Medical Imaging, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Aims: We estimated the prevalence of people living with at least one hip, knee, or shoulder arthroplasty in the Netherlands.
Methods: We included the first hip (n = 416,333), knee (n = 314,569), or shoulder (n = 23,751) arthroplasty of each patient aged ≥ 40 years between 2007 and 2022 (hip/knee) or 2014 and 2022 (shoulder) from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI). Data on the size of the Dutch population were obtained from Statistics Netherlands.
Suture Anchor Fixation of the Pediatric Posteromedial and Posterolateral Menisco-Tibial Ligament Complex Matches or Exceeds Native Tissue Strength: A Cadaveric Study.
J ISAKOS
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA. Electronic address:
Objectives: To compare the biomechanical strength and stiffness of the native posteromedial and posterolateral meniscotibial ligament complex (MTLC) to suture anchor repair of the MTLC.
Methods: Biomechanical testing was performed on 24 fresh-frozen pediatric human knees. Four conditions were tested: native posteromedial MTLC (n=14), native posterolateral MTLC (n=14), posteromedial MTLC repair (n=5), and posterolateral MTLC repair (n=5).
The use of perioperative cephalosporin prophylaxis in patients who have a pre-existing penicillin allergy.
Surgery
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Tampere University Hospital, Wellbeing Services County of Pirkanmaa and Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology, Tampere, Finland; Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology, Tampere University, Tampere, Finland.
Background: Studies have shown an association between a reported penicillin allergy and an increased risk of surgical site infection. The risk is due to avoidance of cephalosporins and to the use of alternative classes of antibiotics in surgical prophylaxis. The aim of this study was to examine the safety of using cephalosporins in patients with a penicillin allergy label.
