Objective: To evaluate the short-and mid-term curative effect of high fibular osteotomy on knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: From October 2014 to July 2016, 76 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated with high fibular osteotomy. There were 22 males and 54 females, ranging in age from 47 to 82 years old, with an average of 61.62 years old. Internal tenderness of the knee joint was examined preoperatively. Preoperative examination showed medial knee pain and medial positive McMurray sign. Preoperative AP and lateral X-ray films of the weight-bearing side of the knee showed the narrowing of the medial space. The knee medial space, femoral and tibial angle, VAS pain score and the American Knee Society(AKS) score were evaluated after operation.
Results: Compared with the preoperative one, the postoperative knee medial gap was widened obviously. The femur and tibia angle after operation was bigger than that before surgery. The VAS was improved from preoperative 5.70±1.56, to 3.70±1.03 at the 1st week after operation, 3.20±0.95 at the 1st month after operation, 2.35±0.99 at the 3rd month after operation, and 2.10±0.97 at the 1st year after operation. According to the AKS score, the preoperative pain score of knee joint was 14.45±1.76, the activity score of knee joint was 12.60±1.98, and the stability score was 12.15±1.72; after operation, the above scores were improved to 42.60±2.28, 21.80±2.14, and 20.85±2.16 respectively.
Conclusions: The high fibular osteotomy with less complications is simple. It can effectively alleviate the pain of the knee joint and improve the function of knee joint, and the clinical effect is satisfactory.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate on fulfillment of expectations and patient satisfaction after surgical treatment of complex proximal tibial fractures.
Methods: In this prospective study 114 patients who suffered a complex tibial fracture (AO/OTA-Type B and C) were enrolled. At follow-up, based on the Hospital For Special Surgery-Knee Surgery Expectations Survey (HFSS-KSES), an individualized questionnaire was used to evaluate whether the preoperative formulated expectations had been fulfilled.
Streptococcus pneumoniae infection is considered an uncommon cause of arthritis in adults. To determine the clinical and microbiological characteristics of pneumococcal septic arthritis, we retrospectively studied a large series of cases among adult patients during the 2010-2018 conjugate vaccine era in France. We identified 110 patients (56 women, 54 men; mean age 65 years), and cases included 82 native joint infections and 28 prosthetic joint infections.

Background And Purpose: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), an insert with ball-in-socket (BS) medial conformity (MC) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention restores kinematics closer to native than an insert with intermediate (I) MC. However, high medial conformity might compromise baseplate stability as indicated by maximum total point motion (MTPM). Using the BS MC insert with PCL retention, we aimed to determine whether (i) the baseplate is stable as indicated by mean MTPM < 0.

Purpose: To investigate the local recurrence rate, joint preservation status, and functional outcomes after extended curettage and postoperative denosumab treatment for Campanacci Grade III giant cell tumors of the extremities.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with Campanacci Grade III GCTB of the extremities in our hospital between January 2017 and June 2023 who underwent extended curettage and postoperative denosumab administration alone, without preoperative denosumab treatment. Patients were followed-up for adverse events of denosumab, surgical outcomes, limb function of lesions, and local recurrence following extended curettage with postoperative denosumab.
