Background: The advice given to patients in the Netherlands regarding sport activities after total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) is currently based on the opinion of the individual orthopaedic surgeon.
Aim: To give an overview of the sport advice given by Dutch orthopaedic surgeons and to examine whether surgeons are familiar with the Dutch health-enhancing physical activity (PA) recommendations (NNGB).
Methods: 472 surgeons were selected to fill in a questionnaire regarding 40 sport activities for four patient age groups (in years): 1) THA<65, 2) THA>65, 3) TKA<65 4) TKA>65. Surgeons were also asked if they discuss the role of PA postoperatively and about their knowledge and application of the NNGB.
Results: There was consensus on 29 sport activities for the THA<65 group and 30 activities for the THA>65 group. In the TKA<65 group there was consensus for 33 sports activities and in the TKA>65 group for 32 activities. Amongst orthopaedic surgeons performing THAs and TKAs, respectively 77% and 79% discussed the role of PA postoperatively with their patients, and a total of 34% and 41% were familiar with the NNGB, with 33% and 34% of them giving NNGB-based advice.
Conclusion: Results can be used to recommend sport activities after THA/TKA. Although the majority of orthopaedic surgeons discuss the role of PA postoperatively with their patients, familiarity with health-enhancing PA recommendations is lacking.

Navigated instrumentation and ligament tensioning device enhances initial gap acquisition during total knee arthroplasty procedure: A cadaveric study.
J Exp Orthop
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Trauma University Center of Montpellier, University of Montpellier Montpellier France.
Purpose: Gap-balanced total knee arthroplasty (TKA) technique relies on initial ligament evaluation, particularly in patient-specific implantation using computer-assisted technologies. This cadaveric study aimed to compare the reproducibility and reliability of medial and lateral gap measurements between manual stress testing and dynamic ligament balancer.
Methods: Initial gap acquisitions were assessed from eight cadaveric knees (four specimens) during the same navigated TKA procedure by five differently skilled surgeons (three seniors and two juniors).
Quantitative evaluation of GPT-4's performance on US and Chinese osteoarthritis treatment guideline interpretation and orthopaedic case consultation.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Jinzhou Medical University, Jinzhou, Liaoning, China
Objectives: To evaluate GPT-4's performance in interpreting osteoarthritis (OA) treatment guidelines from the USA and China, and to assess its ability to diagnose and manage orthopaedic cases.
Setting: The study was conducted using publicly available OA treatment guidelines and simulated orthopaedic case scenarios.
Participants: No human participants were involved.
Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus and Diaphyseal Femur Fractures: A Comparative Analysis of Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer and Google Gemini Recommendations Versus American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Clinical Practice Guidelines.
J Pediatr Orthop
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY.
Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, including chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) and Google Gemini, have significantly increased access to medical information. However, in pediatric orthopaedics, no study has evaluated the accuracy of AI chatbots compared with evidence-based recommendations, including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons clinical practice guidelines (AAOS CPGs). The aims of this study were to compare responses by ChatGPT-4.

Background: Unplanned readmission, a measure of surgical quality, occurs after 4.8% of primary total knee arthroplasties (TKA). Although the prediction of individualized readmission risk may inform appropriate preoperative interventions, current predictive models, such as the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) surgical risk calculator (SRC), have limited utility.

Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg
January 2025
AO Research Institute Davos, Davos, Switzerland.
Purpose: Optimizing fracture reduction quality is key to achieve successful osteosynthesis, especially for epimetaphyseal regions such as the proximal humerus (PH), but can be challenging, partly due to the lack of a clear endpoint. We aimed to develop the prototype for a novel intraoperative C-arm-based aid to facilitate true anatomical reduction of fractures of the PH.
Methods: The proposed method designates the reduced endpoint position of fragments by superimposing the outer boundary of the premorbid bone shape on intraoperative C-arm images, taking the mirrored intact contralateral PH from the preoperative CT scan as a surrogate.
