Background: Assessing patients' functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with traditional scoring systems is limited by their ceiling effects. Patient's Joint Perception (PJP) question of the reconstructed joint is also of significant interest. Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) was created as a more discriminating option. The actual score constituting a "forgotten joint" has not yet been defined. The primary objective of this study is to compare the PJP and the FJS in TKA patients to determine the FJS score that corresponds to the patient's perception of a natural joint.
Methods: One hundred TKAs were assessed at a mean of 40.6 months of follow-up using the PJP question, FJS, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Correlation between the 3 scores and their ceiling effects were analyzed.
Results: With PJP question, 39% of the patients perceived a natural joint (FJS: 92.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 89.4-96.4), 12% an artificial joint with no restriction (FJS: 79.5; 95% CI, 65.7-93.3), 36% an artificial joint with minor restrictions (FJS: 70.0; 95% CI, 63.2-76.9), and 13% had major restrictions (FJS: 47.3; 95% CI. 32.8-61.7). PJP has a high correlation with FJS and WOMAC (Spearman's rho, -0.705 and -0.680, respectively). FJS and WOMAC had a significant ceiling effect with both reaching the best possible score in >15%.
Conclusion: Patients perceiving their TKA as a natural knee based on PJP have a FJS ≥89. PJP has a good correlation with FJS and may be a shorter, simple, and acceptable alternative.

Purpose Of Review: pneumonia (PJP) is an opportunistic fungal infection that is increasingly seen in HIV-negative patients with immune compromise due to other etiologies. We lack comprehensive clinical recommendations for this population.
Recent Findings: In non-HIV cases, PJP has a mortality rate of up to 50%, which is unacceptable despite the presence of safe and effective prophylaxis and therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Large-diameter head (LDH) total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a monobloc acetabular component provides improved hip stability, but initial stability can be difficult to achieve in atypical acetabula.
- The study evaluated outcomes in patients who received press-fit LDH monobloc acetabular components for secondary osteoarthritis, using a database of cases from 2005 to 2018 with a follow-up of at least 2 years.
- Results showed no incidents of acetabular component loosening, low revision rates, and high patient-reported satisfaction, indicating effective secondary fixation and favorable functional outcomes.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the Forgotten Joint Score-12(FJS) outcomes and the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of the FJS after high tibial osteotomy (HTO), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with short-term follow-up (at least 2 years). Another objective of the study is to investigate the factors influencing FJS. It is hypothesized that there are differences in FJS outcomes among the three procedures.

In prostate cancer (PC), the presence of somatic and/or germline mutation provides prognostic and predictive information. Meta-analysis aims to estimate the frequency of mutations in patients with PC (PCp). In November 2022, we reviewed literature searching for all articles testing the proportion of mutations in PCp, without explicit enrichment for familiar risk.
