Pre- and perioperative management of malnutrition is crucial for the success of hip and knee arthroplasties. Various studies indicate that malnutrition, particularly when associated with vitamin D deficiency, significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications such as periprosthetic fractures and infections, prolonged hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. Adequate preoperative nutritional intake, including vitamin D supplementation, can improve arthroplasty outcomes.

The ARCR_Pred study was initiated to document and predict the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in a representative Swiss patient cohort. In the present manuscript, we aimed to describe the overall and baseline characteristics of the study, report on functional outcome data and explore case-mix adjustment and differences between public and private hospitals. Between June 2020 and November 2021, primary ARCR patients were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter cohort across 18 Swiss and one German orthopedic center.

Background: Endoprosthetic knee replacement using megaprostheses has become a common strategy for preserving joint function in patients with distal femur tumors. While existing literature has primarily focused on surgical techniques, complications, and implants, recent improvements in patient survival rates have sparked increased interest in the long-term functional outcomes associated with this treatment.
Methods: This case-control study evaluated functional outcomes-Timed Up and Go (TUG), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), knee flexor and extensor muscle strength, and sagittal knee range of motion-and health-related quality of life (SF-36) between patients with distal femoral megaprostheses (n = 31) and healthy controls (n = 48).

Introduction: Intraoperative cardiac arrest (IOCA) is a rare event during orthopaedic surgery. Although infrequent, it has a notable effect, with mortality as high as 35%. Little is known about the outcomes of IOCA in orthopaedic surgery, and this study aims to fill that knowledge gap to improve patient counseling and treatment decisions.

Object: To evaluate inter- and intra-observer agreement of the proposed diagnostic and treatment classification of degenerative spondylolisthesis.
Material And Methods: The proposed diagnostic and treatment classification of degenerative spondylolisthesis was validated according to the GRRAS protocol. For this purpose, we retrospectively analyzed MRI, CT and spinal radiography data in 20 patients.
