Portfolios are used in midwifery education to provide students with a central place to store their accumulative evidence of clinical experience for initial registration in Australia. Portfolio formats can be paper-based or electronic. Anecdotal discussion between midwifery students in Queensland debated the best format to document the requirements for the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) standard 8.11. Midwifery students using paper-based portfolios envisioned that an ePortfolio would be streamline, simple, safe to use, and able to be used anywhere with WIFI, while some students using an ePortfolio expressed a desire to have a paper-based portfolio as a hard copy. This situation called for evidence of a comparison to resolve the debate. The aim of this study was to investigate midwifery students' experiences of the benefits and challenges between paper-based and ePortfolios when compiling evidence to meet the requirements for initial registration as a midwife in Australia (ANMAC, 2014).

Background The selection of properly sized implants is essential to achieve a well-balanced knee and favorable clinical outcomes following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). There is limited evidence in the literature regarding the effectiveness of robotic-assisted technology (RA-TKA) without imaging in accurately predicting implant sizes. Our aim was to provide an evidence-based assessment of this technology's accuracy in selecting appropriate implant sizes during robotic-assisted, image-free TKA.
