Individualized total knee arthroplasty achieves better functional results than off-the-shelf implants in patients undergoing personalized coronal alignment.

Knee

January 2025

IULS-University Institute for Locomotion and Sports, Pasteur 2 Hospital, University Côte d'Azur, Nice, France; ICARE Team, Côte d'Azur University, Inserm, CNRS, Valrose Institute of Biology, Nice, France. Electronic address:

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the interest in patient-specific custom cutting guides in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but clinical improvement remains debated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes (Forgotten Joint Score, FJS) of patients undergoing individualized TKA compared with those receiving off-the-shelf (OTS) implants, both using patient-specific cutting guides with personalized alignment over a minimum follow up period of 12 months. We hypothesized that individualized TKA demonstrates significantly better functional outcomes than OTS TKA (FJS and percentage of patients reaching the minimum clinically important difference).

Clinical Relevance: Although laser refractive surgeries and multifocal intraocular lens implantation are generally avoided in patients with diabetic retinopathy, a substantial proportion of well-glycaemic-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus patients are considered for these procedures. Pupil dynamics play a significant role in determining postoperative satisfaction in these patients.

Background: To evaluate pupillary dynamics in patients with and without diabetes following uneventful phacoemulsification surgery.

Novel nutrition strategies in gastric and esophageal cancer.

Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol

January 2025

Department of Surgery, Trinity St. James's Cancer Institute, Dublin, Ireland.

Introduction: Advances in treatment strategies for gastric and esophageal cancer have led to improved long-term outcomes, however the local and systemic effects of tumor growth, neoadjuvant therapies and surgery, results in specific nutritional challenges. Comprehensive nutritional evaluation and support represents a core component of multidisciplinary holistic care for this patient population.

Areas Covered: This review provides a detailed overview of the nutritional challenges in gastric and esophageal cancer, with a focus on malignant obstruction, preoperative optimization and nutrition in survivorship.

Comparing the Palmar Radiocarpal Artery Vascularized Bone Graft with Alternatives for Unstable Scaphoid Nonunions: A Retrospective Analysis.

J Hand Surg Am

January 2025

The Ottawa Hospital, Ottawa, ON, Canada; Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Ottawa Hospital Ottawa, ON, Canada; Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada. Electronic address:

Purpose: We compared the radiographic union and magnitude of humpback deformity correction when using different vascularized bone grafts (VBGs) and nonvascularized bone grafts (NVBGs) in the treatment of unstable scaphoid nonunions (USNUs).

Methods: This was a retrospective radiographic review of 93 patients with an USNU treated between 2013 and 2022 at a single center by a single surgeon. Inclusion criteria included skeletally mature patients with radiographic evidence of an USNU resulting from failure of either nonsurgical or operative treatment.
