Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established treatment option for advanced knee osteoarthritis, yet some patients remain unsatisfied after surgery. Evaluation of various psychosocial parameters may improve patient optimization and outcomes. The primary aim was to assess whether preoperative resilience remained stable and influenced decision regret postoperatively while the secondary aim was to evaluate its correlation with joint-specific and global health patient-reported outcome measures.

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) for chronic knee pain using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health, Physical Health score (PROMIS-GH-PH).
Methods: Patients who underwent GNRFA at a tertiary academic center were identified by CPT code query and contacted for consent. Demographic, clinical, and procedural characteristics were collected from the electronic medical record of participants with baseline PROMIS-GH-PH scores.

The treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) often requires total joint arthroplasty (TJA) when less invasive approaches fail. The annual incidence of TJA is rising. Metal-on-metal (MoM) hip and knee implants were widely used for TJA in the past, but complications have led to their decline.

To date, an adequately powered randomized controlled trial (RCT) to provide evidence of the superiority of novel implant designs over conventional ones is often lacking. The aim of our RCT was to investigate the functional outcomes of a novel TKA implant design compared with 2 conventional TKA designs.

Objective: CEAP categorizes patients based on disease progression and severity. Whether disease severity is associated with specific patterns of reflux is currently unknown. We hypothesize that patterns of reflux in patients with C2 and C5/6 disease will differ.
