Background: The clinical outcome of the medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) based on graft length change pattern (length pattern group) was compared with MPFLR based on visual examination combined with palpation (visual/palpation group).
Methods: Physical findings, patient-reported outcome, and radiographic demonstration were evaluated pre- and postoperatively.
Results: The length pattern group had significantly lower risk of a positive apprehension test (Odds ratio 0.12, p < 0.01), and higher scores in postoperative Lysholm score (p = 0.046) and patient satisfaction (p = 0.036) than The visual/palpation group.
Conclusion: MPFLR based on graft length change pattern improved on patient-reported outcomes and apprehension test.
Level Of Evidence: Level Ⅲ, Retrospective comparative study.

Machine perfusion strategies in Liver Transplantation: A systematic review, pairwise, and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Liver Transpl
January 2025
Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: Machine perfusion (MP), including hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE), dual HOPE, normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), NMP ischemia-free liver transplantation (NMP-ILT), and controlled oxygenated rewarming (COR), is increasingly being investigated to improve liver graft quality from extended criteria donors and donors after circulatory death and expand the donor pool. This network meta-analysis investigates the comparative efficacy and safety of various liver MP strategies versus traditional static cold storage (SCS).
Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing liver transplantation (LT) outcomes between SCS and MP techniques.
Morselized Femoral Head Impaction Bone Grafting of Large Defects in Ankle and Hindfoot Fusions.
Foot Ankle Int
January 2025
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust, Foot & Ankle Unit, Stanmore, United Kingdom.
Background: Ankle and hindfoot fusion in the presence of large bony defects represents a challenging problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent ankle-hindfoot fusions with impaction bone grafting (IBG) with morselized femoral head allograft to fill large bony void defects.
Methods: This was a 3-center, retrospective review of a consecutive series of 49 patients undergoing ankle or hindfoot fusions with femoral head IBG for filling large bony defects.
Frailty in kidney transplant candidates: new therapeutic strategies to intervene.
Curr Opin Organ Transplant
January 2025
Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences.
Purpose Of Review: Patients that present with a physical frail phenotype have a higher risk of poor kidney transplant outcomes and are therefore less likely to be wait listed for a transplant. The physical frailty phonotype is more prevalent in older adults >65years with chronic and end stage kidney disease, thus partly contributing to inequitable access to transplant. Frailty can potentially be reversed by prehabilitation.

Zhuqing Ji Department of Medicine Oncology, The Affiliated Huai'an 1st People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Huaian, Jiangsu Province 223300, P.R. China.
Objective: To explore the risk factors associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) and to construct a nomogram predictive model.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of 193 patients who received OPCABG in Huai'an First People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June 2021 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the established diagnosis of POAF, patients were divided into the POAF group (n=75) and the non-POAF group (n=118).
Nationwide Outcomes of Heart Transplantation for Postpartum Cardiomyopathy.
Rev Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Section of Heart Failure and Transplantation, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.
Background: Postpartum cardiomyopathy is defined as an incident of acute heart failure in the postpartum period in the absence of any other cause. Up to 10% of postpartum cardiomyopathy may need to undergo heart transplantation later in life. This study aimed to provide a present-day perspective on all-cause mortality and transplant-related complications after heart transplantation for postpartum cardiomyopathy.
